Beastlord Pet Apparel Changes

[ardianko]

Hi all im trying to change the beastlord pets race,size, and texture in the database, but whenever I do it reverts back to the original settings. Beastlord pet lvl 9 NPCID is #515 and ive changed the size race & texture through there, restarted the server and it changed back to a crocidile (was using a troll)...

Im guessing im having problems because each race for the beastlord affects the race of the beastlord's pet (i.e - Vah shirs have tiger pets, Trolls have Crocs) Anyone have any idea how i can fix this and change the pets apparel through the databse?

I would like to see devs answering this question.
I was experimenting with this too, and since ALL race BST uses the SAME pet, the race of the pet is prabobly been assigned via some server code.

What is important to ask here, If I would create a whole new pet NPC and give it to a BST via a whole diffirent spell, will the code automaticly change its race to default BSt race?
That would realy suck

BL Pet appearance is in the code, not the db. Check out zone/pets.cpp. Do a search for IKSAR, OGRE, etc. You could probably add more cases to add custom pets, appearance wise.

ok i checked it out.
if you try to modifiy any of original BST pets- you will never gain anything.

In order to give BSt some other pets you need to give him some new spells which summon some other pets/mobs. I have succesefuly gave my test BST necro pet this way. Alternativly you can give him any other pet you like, as long as you do NOT try to do via original BST spells
