1 little problem

[DarkZavage]

i dont know if this is against the rules, but i couldnt find it in any sticky,,,, in w3 there is mdx files. these can be edited, but i dont C any animation in them (im using 3ds max 9) like an attack animation, or a death animation,,,, how do i find these to edit, im sorry if i overlooked it in a sticky

(newbie to editing w3, not a newbie to character modelling, so no baby talk required)

hmm, which importer are you using? you sure it imported the animations. Remenber that max represent animations as only one long anim, wc3 divides that long anim into many pieces.

Most good programs i know do. I'm not expierianced with 3DSmax so I don't have a clue but ... what importer makes you able to import animations anyways?

well, what im gonna do is, im gonna use war3 editor,,, to do animations etc, then what ill do is, export the model as a 3ds file (i think u can with war3 editor) edit it with 3ds max, then go back the other way, and save it as a mdx file with war3 editor,,, im just comfortable with 3ds max,

hmm, you would have to reassign VertexGroups and matrices after you finish that.
