Spitfire/Rainbow Dash

Decided to give modding mabi a shot yesterday (UOTiara style) after playing the game since G2. The lag improvement is great.

As it is, I've been watching some outdated videos on changing animations in mabi that I bookmarked about a year ago and creating custom graphics for said animations using 3DS Max. (I have 3DS max. Maya will probably be recommended as well if I'm getting into this?)

Long story short

1.) I'm considering an attempt at replacing the thoroughbred horse and/or two seater shire horse into either of the ponies the subject is titled (Spitfire because firebolt.) Not saying I know what I'm doing, trial and error will be necessary, but I'd really like to have some pony mods in mabinogi. The graphics seem like they'd compliment it.

2.) I'm wondering if any My Little Pony based mods have been made already for mabi.

Reason I ask is if any exist and perhaps my advanced search parameters were too strict looking up pony related words using the search feature. I do not know any other mabinogi mod sites to satisfy this thirst for pony content for. Any help on that would be nice.

Disclaimer: I do not want to create hype from bronies about this. It's something I want to give a shot but not necessarily something I will strive to complete if it becomes too time consuming. Until then any existing pony mods would be nice to have in-game.

((Lack of sleep kicking in. I'll read this post after I take a good nap ~_~))

I'm sorry, there aren't any public My Little Pony mods in NA, at least. But there are ways you can create this mod. The first of the two I'm going to mention being harder than the second.

A) To take models from other games and add them to Mabi you'd need to first extract that model (or find a mod of some other game) then find a tool to convert that file type to a pmg. Then reanimate/create a new framework for them. However, in this case, you'd need to edit racedb.xml to account for a nonexistent custom race type/animation set and rename the framework/animations you made with that. However, that would be exceedingly difficult for the average user and I don't believe there are any guides on this website on how to do that.

B) I suggest this alternative. Take the miniunicorn PMG (the miniunicorn will be normal-sized if you use it to replace it over a normal horse), then you could edit the texture used or create a custom texture+edit an xml file in the _define subfolder to make it look like a My Little Pony character then remove the horn with a PMG editor if you wish. (You might also wish to use the PMG Color Editor to alter the color overlay over the texture.) For guides on ordinary PMG editing, check the stickies of the skin modifications or guides section.
