A little problem with model export [Milkshape 3D]

[Draeneruf]

Hi everyone! First of all, sorry for my english, cause i speek spanish ^^

I have a question about models in Milkshape 3D.
A friend of mine created a model in Milkshape 3D. The animations and the bones looks great, but when i save it as .MS3D an import it with War3modeleditor, the bones squirm and the model animations and animations are completely deformed :S
I exported the model with the Milkshape 3D default MDLX pluggin but it happends again.

Images:

Bones are OK

Bones looks bad in War3ModelEditor

The animations is ok but the bones are bad and the animations looks bad...

What's wrong? How can i fix this bug? did i need a custom milkshape mdx exporter?

Well, thanks a lot!
Thank you very much!

Yes you need a custom .mdx exporter.
Check this tutorial:

And here's the exporter:

Did he run Zero Joints before he animated?

Wow, u are great! ^^
I have a little problem...i am not expert with Milkshape, so, when can i see the animation frames? I animate it but i can't see the frames.
I can see the TIMELINE but it don't show the frame number

Thanks a lot!!!

Wtf? Why doesn't it show it?
It should be there:

Well, i founded the frame, i followed ALL the steps but it don't works...the bones are ok but the rotation of the bones continues bugged and the model looks like gelatin...

 

[chilla_killa]

Did you run Zero Joints before animating?
Did you leave 10 frames between each anim?

 

[Draeneruf]

YES!!! Now the skeleton is in the right place!!!!
But the model is bad joined, for example, the head of the raptor is joined to the "right feet" skeleton
The animations are great and the bones are animated but the model is bad joined :S
Can i fix it?

 

[chilla_killa]

Attach every vertices to the right joints.

 

[Draeneruf]

Are you jocking? :S
it's very dificult T.T

 

[chilla_killa]

WTF how can the anims look good, if you didn't attach the vertices to the bones?
Did you just animate the bone structure?

 

[Draeneruf]

i don't created the model! it was created by my friend! the model look perfect in milkshape 3d and animates, but when i convert it to .MDX with all the things you gived me, it moves like gelatine and the vertices are joined to a ramdom bone (but in milkshape, it is ok)...
