Bear with glow

I'm gonna do that. Just a second.

[xXm0RpH3usXx]

maybe tell him what you did so he knows how to do it next time?

 

[ylezar]

But, why I can't see the model in Warcaft.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

You imported it wrong.

 

[ylezar]

You imported it wrong.

What do you mean?
.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

Once you downloaded the model, you imported it into the World Editor right?

 

[ylezar]

Chriz., Just give It a try .

 

[Deleted member 126647]

You're right, it doesn't work.

 

[Pyritie]

Is it missing a texture file?

could someone tell me how can i add hero glow on a unit? thnx

 

[ylezar]

Is it missing a texture file?

Yeah, I deleted the gutz texture.

 

[Pyritie]

Don't delete a texture, some things might need it.

Instead, just open it up as an MDL and re-add the gutz texture. Then convert to MDX and go to Magos' Material Manager, find the texture using the "Gutz" and under "Alpha" or "Visibility" (can't remember which), click the "Animated" box.

Now you will see things like this (I just made up these numbers)

2342: 0
5643: 0
1206: 0
5764: 1
etc...

Change all of the numbers after the ":" from ": 1" to ": 0".

Save, and reload in game. Hope this helps.

 

[ylezar]

but it said "Error reading model file" when i tried to convert it into MDL...

 

[Pyritie]

Did you use Magos or Yobguls?

And if you have an earlier MDL version, by all means, use that.

 

[ylezar]

Now, Its working thankx Pyritie



but How can I add a Hero Glow.

 

[Pyritie]

1) You find a hero glow model
2) You make a base ability off of Life Regen Aura (Life Well thingy)
3) Set all of its data stuff to "0" so it doesn't do anything
4) Set the "Art - Target" to the hero glow model
5) Give the ability to the unit
