Great! I knew you'd come around eventually and post it!

Is this the same as the one I have or is this an updated version?

It's better than you have, but still not finished. I thought about tutorial in english, but at first I will make a ton russian.

This is amazing! Great work and thank you!

That flesh skirt is really something.

Because it use the same texture as body, so with armor texture all will be good)

Do you think you could do the human female base model too?

later

you have the human base female????'

I need her

Looks like this is the HD version. This texture can be applied to potentially make superheroes. Use GIMP or other image editing software.

female pls!

Hi, this looks like a very useful tool. I am however a bit of a noob when it comes to modeling things in warcraft 3. What software should I use to make a custom character with this? Or how is your tool supposed to be used?

Mdlvis. Turn off all geosets that you consider unnecessary for the future character (before that you make a copy of the file so that 1 file remains intact, and the second - your future character) and leave only those that you want - delete the rest, give any armor texture which you want from WoWModelViewer and your character is ready

Hello, when I add this character to the editor, only 125 animations can be called, I did this with a custom script call, it does not detect beyond 125, why?

(I noticed that the cinematic animations in the editor do not work!)

So you answerd on your question Ijust added all animations to model and people who know how to work with animations in WE - know how to work with it There are some animations names, which can be used by warcraft. You can check them in world editor - for example in spells section. But better to askfor help more competent in work with animations people.

No, I didn't answer. Make no mistake, I was wrong because I changed the name 'Cinematic' to 'Attack', but it didn't work. I definitely want to use this model, but I can't use more than half of the animation of the model. Could it be related to Warcraft 3 version? . All animations are visible in the model editor, but I cannot call cinematic-tagged animations in-game with custom script.

You say you're calling animations from custom scripts, are you sure you're doing it correctly? As far as I know, animation names don't matter when you call animations with custom scripts since you use the index of the animation, not the animation name.

I had the same issue where I would see all animations in a model editor and could call them all in the WE.
I realised this is because models in Wc3 are limited by the length of the global animation. For instance, if you check the time between each animation, it is oddly high. By manually reducing the time between each animations I was able to increase number of animations by a good 50, and I’m not a specialist, I suppose there are other ways to optimise this process

yes , because i can use first 125 animation , if i cant solve this problem , still i can use 125 animation , but i need too other animations.

How did you reduce the animation times, using the model's mdl extension?

I’ve looked into it recently again and this is how you fix it:

You will require mdlvis (Mdlvis: model edition/creation, animation and UV Mapping) and lots of time

First
Open the model in mdlvis and open the tab Module > Sequence Editor
From here notice 2 important things on the UI
1. On the top right of the UI there is drop box named Current Sequence (by default set on « all line »)
2. At the bottom the UI there is an animation bar and On its right a box named Frame.

If you select an animation (or sequence), let’s say « Stand » you will see that the bar gets updated (zoomed in actually) for this specific animation.
Stand starts at frame 3333 and finishes at frame 6000. Which means the frames from 0 to 5999 are not used.
The other animation after Stand starts at 8000 and finishes at 9000, which means the frames from 6001 to 7999 are also not used.

This is why this model cannot play all its animations in-game, there are to many unused frames.

Second:
To remove these unused frames you’ll have to select them and « cut » them.
The selection is a bit tricky follow these steps: Select again the « all line » sequence. In the Frame box (next to the sequence bar) enter the start value of the frames you want to cut.
Let’s say you want to remove the unused frames 0 to 3300 (I still keep about 33 unused frames between animations just in case):
Type in the box 0, press enter, then press + hold shift and type 3300. Press enter again and release shift. If done right you’ll see the selected frames in the sequence bar (they appear grey).
From there go to the Tab Frames > Cut Frame to remove these.

Voilà, now repeat the process between each animation and you’ll save a ton of frames and all of them will be playable in wc3 (you won’t see all of them in the editor though, but no worries they’re accessible in-game)

When you get the idea it’s pretty simple but very time-consuming.

BEFORE STARTING I suggest checking all the animations and removing duplicate as they are many

I hope this helps!
