Right, so to go along with my mummy troll skin, I wanted to replace a Swift Raptor with the Skeletal Raptor model. The thing is, I can't find the .anim files for the Swift Riding Raptors to replace them. I know there is a certain amount of data in the DBCs, but not all of it, surely?
While knowing little about downporting, this is the monstrosity I was able to accomplish without the ability to add the right animations, lol:

A little concerned that animations aren't the only issue. I used the Legion-to-WotLK porter in the downloads section of this site, which brought it into a state where it is visible and my character can mount it, at least. One thing, though-- It did nothing to the .anim files. I assume this is because those files don't need to be converted?

Well, okay, but could you expand on that a little? There is still something somewhere that needs to be changed, seeing as the animations are not baked into the m2 as evidenced by my model replacement still animating itself like the original swift raptor while not having access to any skeletal raptor anims,

Anims are in M2s and possibly in anim files if needed

I just explained to you that the Swift Raptor animations are not baked into its M2, after you told me the Swift Raptor does not have any anim files. And now you say that if it is not part of the M2 it must have anim files. Which is it?

Like I said... The Swift Riding Raptor animations are not located in the m2, because when I replaced the m2 with a different one the model still animated itself as if it was using Swift Riding Raptor animations. This means the animations are located elsewhere, perhaps in .anim files I cannot find. But you began this thread by stating that the Swift Riding Raptor has no .anim files. I am trying to find those files to change them.

I've found an existing edit to do it for me. Might as well consider this topic closed.
