(Creature): Certain creatures spontaneously have wrong display ID.
Current Behaviour
Sometimes certain creatures seem to have the wrong display ID from what they should according to the database. This has been observed with Zephyr and Gelanthis. Zephyr sometimes shows up with a display ID of 19278, Gelanthis sometimes appears with ID 15505. This seems to be a very inconsistent issue.
Expected Blizzlike Behaviour
Zephyr's native model ID is 19282, Gelanthis' expected ID is 15504. They should never deviate.
Source
Assumption, values from the database
Steps to reproduce the problem
-
.go c id 25967/16624 -
.npc info - Observe their display ID.
- Restart AC until it deviates from what's in the DB.
Extra Notes
I noticed the issue with Zephyr in this AC issue. Vyperhand observed the issue with Gelanthis in this CC issue.
This is an inconsistent issue, but it most definitely does happen. Don't know if the model can swap while the server is running (I doubt it), but it can swap between restarts.

Well that's dumb.
Those values should be sniffed as well, no? I can't see why someone would decide to add a random model there for fun.
I remember another similar issue with model_other_gender I had to fix by forcing the model on script
So why don't we simply remove that dumb code?
It's not dumb code, it's just a possibly bad database entry.
Don't believe so, I think the issue with this is incorrect 'model_other_gender' value.
