NOTES

Feel free to modify. Give credit.

These models have both animated ribbon alpha and particle priority planes; they are unopenable in Magos' whether in MDL or MDX without the removal of either.

FREQUENT ISSUES

Magos' Model Editor
If a.) the model/s present an error regarding a ribbon emitter upon opening, or b.) the models go blank in-game after editing them in Magos', use MdlxConv to convert the uncorrupted file to mdl, edit the model as you wish, and then convert back to mdx before importing.

In-Game
If models with omnilights light up the whole map after conversion, make sure you're using version 1.04 of MdlxConv.

Reviews
General Frank
Amazing effect and extremely good use of in-game textures.
Question: Do these models have attachment points -- allowing them to be used as unit model? (I realize they don't have attack animations, but that's besides the point)
They have Origin & Chest at the same spot, and then Overhead 100 height above. The main impediment for unit use is the lack of portrait. I'll look into adding a cam.

Whenever I open HIVE to search for a model, even if I only focus on the image for quick browsing, I always feel like I will stop and notice your work. It's really perfect, it's amazing, especially your special effects! A masterpiece!:infl_thumbs_up:
