  • Thanks for replying, much appreciated! I have been toying with the 2 tools you linked me, 1 thing I have trouble with though is that when I run my created exe and load a map, it loads the same map (/my custom starcraft hybrids map) everytime instead of the selected map in the warcraft 3 menu. I probably create the mpq the wrong way. This is how I created the mpq / exe;
    * I created an new mpq,
    * openend my starcraft map and extracted all data,
    * than imported all the data in the new mpq
    * and created an exe of that new mpq with mpq draft (selected Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne as game)

    Do you know what I am doing wrong here?

    Also 1 more quick question, is it possible to add triggers to the mpq or to the exe?

    Thanks in advance!
    Omg! Emergency! :xxd:

    dude you gotta tweak your tool's 'fetch' ability to get a model straight from a path, or otherwise show all of these hidden models, I just got asked how to get a hidden model, and i totally got stumped and ground to a confused halt :ogre_rage:
    then go for it and document it :p This thingie is sure growing into a super-tool or so :p

    ..now if only it could auto-reduce complexity of WoW animations without making the universe implode.. xD

    ah but that's me joking
    Well I resolved it by simply using an older version of the matrix eater (I think, some time has passed now) but I think that did the trick.
    it seems alright to me..? oO
    btw.. matrix eater could use being able to convert helper objects to Bones, because helper objects are 'the bane of war3 modelling' causing all kinds of odd glitches on the geosets they're controlling
    and.. what were you saying on 'rebuild as global sequence' ? I just used it a few days ago and it worked really well, dunno what you see there as 'not implemented well'
    and lastly, be sure to document how to flip a unit mesh and animations (like righty-to-lefty) because i forgot how :xdd:
    I found this information but I do not know how to use them. Indeed, I can not open the files .fdf. I understand that this is an acrobat reader format. But how to change a file .fdf?
    I also tried using Template Multirace but it does not work with my computer (os 64 bits).
    On one version that I have doesn't even work "import". On another it doesn't work import with same bones, but I think it has simple import. I already know how to import all of animations to another unit. Can you send me latest version?
    Hello Retera
    Thank you for your quick response.
    I have already made models, skins, and personalized maps.
    But what I would like to do is create additional races and usable on all custom maps. I crafted file .mpq using the WinMPQ. I then made an editor .exe and an game .exe. The game screen is changed as expected. I created a customized map using the .mpq data and it works. But I do know how to add an additional race and it can be used for any map. If you have time to help me or give me what you know, it's really very nice of you. Good night.
    PS. Sorry for my English, I am French.
    Yeah. I got one question. First, thanks for making such a great tool, I recommend it to every modeler. :)
    Now, I want the unit to have different animations, for example, it has footman animations but I want to add one more animation but from another unit, example, demoness. How do I do that? Someone told me that I need to rename the helpers into bones but I didn't understand him clearly.
    Hi there, Daffa the Mage said you know about a mpq compiler so altered melee could be made to work for all melee maps. Could you help me a bit or give me a link or such? It's for my wcr3 tft Starcraft mod (Starcraft Hybrids). Thank you in advance.
    Hello Retera. Thank you for your video. That said, I'm French and I don't understand English very well. The images have helped me but the video quality is low. Do you know where I can get help? Thank you in advance.
    Hi there, i am using your Matrix eater tool and i got stuck at something, can you help me?
    Can u make it in GUI I don't know how to use jass. Also which ability is for gold and which is for lumber it is confusing
    In Heaven's Fall how u make those races that auto harvest gold mine can u show me some triggers of the voidspawn harvest.
    Good Luck on Heaven's Fall, Just Played Zear, 4 v 4 v 4 Normal computer, Owned Everyone (I always owned by AI in Melee Game tho)
    Not Sure if the HF AI's Hero is Dumb
    Feel free to ask from me custom animation that is not too hard Xd just one animation make me feel bad taking one space for credits
    Well whatever logo you like to use, or just use my avatar (of it's too much file size or wanting an in-game icon)

    If want inhale icon, then I will just choose illidan?
    Busy huh? Rarely see you Online, If you need custom animation, that have lots of unit need, that you want to use Matrix eater to transfer them, I would happily do that, :p though please don't give time limit
