What Units Change Models in Northrend Tileset?

[Map Designer]

Hello,


Apart from Beast Masters Summons, which look different in Northrend/Ashenvale forest than in other Tilesets, are there units who change there model according to the map? (be it summoned unit or regular unit)

None of the units change model, they actually are different units. Just look at the Object Editor you'll see that there are Frost Trolls and there are Forest Trolls. The units aren't same just with different models, they are different units. If you want to see how the units change depending on the tileset, you can browse through different tilesets on the Unit Palette.

I was not talking about ice trolls, dark trolls, and forest trolls. I was talking about Quil-boar, quil-beast, bear, and hawk, which all can be summoned by BeastMaster. The unit do not change. Just their appearance do.

it is semilar to scout tower, guard tower, arcane tower, and cannon tower. They all have 1 model, but they look different due to the upgrade.


The Best Masters summons 1 distinct unit, but it looks different according to tileset.



Edit: If you dont Believe, please put Raging Bear, a quil-beast, and a hawk. Put them in lordaeron winter, and then copy them and put them in lordaeron summer. test both maps, and see for yourself that they look different on each map.

I think it is just those.

Yeah, I just tested it myself. Haven't noticed such thing ever before (maybe because I never play melee and have never ran into a Beastmaster in a snowy map). But it seems to be hard-coded into the models, because even a custom unit with the bear model always changes color with the tileset. Not like human Towers where you can change the model by adding "upgrade,first" and "upgrade,second" to the additional animation names.

Yeah, they used to be stored in the same 'sub' mpqs as cliffs, so they're specifically tied to which tileset you use, and share the same exact path.
