Wrong Turtle skin on petopia.

Unread post by Loridon »

Ghamoo-Ra,the turtle from the Blackfathom Deeps dungeon got the normal dragon turtle skin on petopia

But ingame he got the the tail and the shell from a spiked dragon turtle.

The differents with the other spiked turtle is Ghamoo-Ra got less structure in his shell.
The other green spiked dragon turtles got alot more structure in the shell(look it from above)

How interesting! I never knew the top of the shell designs were different, I just thought it was spikes. I wonder if theres others who have this smoother spiked shell we aren't aware of.

Thanks for that report! The skin is correct but I never caught that it used the epic model.

What is going on there is that in the dragon turtle folder there's one lonely skin that doesn't quite fit like the rest. It has less texture detailing and the curves run the wrong way. Essentially it looks like a relic from an early version of the dragon turtle which was scrapped.

Nevertheless it can be used on the proper model and one turtle in the game uses it. I thought it was using the basic dragon turtle model but apparently it's using the "epic" one with extra spiky bits. I'll take a model shot and correct it when I get a chance.

Thanks again :)

Ghamoo-Ra was moved to the spikier model, with the same skin:

The look didn't exist in the database before. It took a few days to add it, because I'm travelling.

The look it used to have is now marked as an unused look:

Thanks again for the report :)
