HIVE

No problem, I was going to respond to your message but I am currently on vacation worth limited internet access. I'll write back to you next weekend.

Sure thing - sorry if I'm being mildly annoying I wasn't sure if you'd seen the notification for the last one and I also wanted to expand my scope a bit. I've got some big ideas inspired by "The Expanse" and the crew of the Roci and SC1's editor is far too limited for my taste

Hey, sorry for the late reply - anyhow, i am a big fan of the Expanse and own all the books. What is it specifically that you need? Buildings, vehicles, spaceships, characters?

Anything you can throw my way - mainly buildings and units but doodads or ships are also welcome. I'm currently still in the concept stage so anything has a chance of making it. Generally, I'd love to be able to replicate the feel of the expanse but also add Aliens somehow.

On a side note, big fan too - I even got a silver dog tag with "MCRN" etched into it

Oh, any properly working mineral models (or resources in general) are really helpful since I can't seem to find any decent ones. And terran buildings.

Sorry for the spam, I imagine I'm probably quite annoying at this point but I also wanted to ask, can you help me fix a model of a siege tank? It's got a weird yellow plane stuck in the cannon during the idle animation.

I am on vacation (again, lol) for a couple of weeks now, but i will be able to respond in a couple of days when i have less things planned. It should be possible to fix the plane using magos model editor by adding a geoset animation to the geoset with the material.

Hah, don't worry about me man, enjoy your vacation, I'm in no rush

So should I PM you the weird Crucio Tank model? (To be honest, I got permission for it from a SC2 War3 map from Moddb that heavily featured your models so I wouldn't be too surprised if you recognize it)

Btw, do you by chance have any idea how I can get Oinkerwinkle's vertex editor working? I mean, I suck at using Magos T_T

I don't know how to get it to work, but i DO know that i have developed an .MDL exporter for Blender, which is 1000% better and less buggy than Vertex Modify! I have a link here: https://github.com/khalv/mdl-exporter, just click Download>Zip, unzip it, right click the folder "mdl-exporter" and go send to>compressed folder, open up blender, go FIle>User Prefs and press "Install Addon From File" and select the zipped folder. Restart blender and you can now export mdl files through file>export>mdl. There are some further instructions on the github page, i also recommend watching BlenderGuru's tutorials on how to use Blender (or just ask me) - trust me - it seems clunky at first, but once you get used to it, it's amazing. Just note that you will have to finalize the materials in magos model editor after exporting, as well as use it to save to .MDX.

Holy hell, this is awesome! Thank you sooooo much man <3 It'll make my life of retexturing stuff extremely easy.

I made a tutorial! Enjoy! https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/exporting-models-from-blender-using-the-mdl-exporter-plugin.308012/#post-3286994

You are the definition of fantastic <3

Particle systems are now also supported, and there's a custom material editor which is a lot sleeker than the old hackish way of making materials. Check it out! Also, this guy named pavel_blend has an .mdx importer, though i haven't tried if it works (https://github.com/PavelBlend/Blender_WarCraft-3).

Wait, warcraft 3 now supports particle systems? Or do you mean blender?
