Misha: I say this is approved now tell me if it goes kaboom

 

[RazortheHedgehog]

wow. great model, is very nice friend

 

[Voidwalker]

Really liking the design of the unit. But, frankly, I think it's the Night Elves only who make use of glaives. Ballistae are more in line with HEs and BEs.

Maybe you could make an arrow-shooting version, based on the RoC model?

Seen the spellbreaker?

 

[Voidwalker]

Seen the spellbreaker?

Hmm. Okay. That's true. But the spellbreaker's glaive has only two blades, as opposed to the NE's usual three.

Yeah, I suppose this blade should definitely be customized to be more fitting.

 

[Edge45]

So are you saying to replace the glaive into SpellBr glaive

 

[InfernalTater]

Or make a glaive from scratch.

 

[Edge45]

So is this good enough
2 Blades now

 

[InfernalTater]

Yes, that looks better; that looks really cool.

 

[Tal'Rarity]

I suggest making a projectile model to fit this.

 

[Edge45]

ok!!
but it might be take some time
(My laptop is been used)
So i'll have to go to an Internet Cafe

 

[Genngreymane]

Nice model

 

[Vinz]

Useful model.

 

[Gamegear]

3/5 i thnk because its usefull..

 

[Edge45]

So why is it Pending?

Is there something missing
I can't seem to find a Moderators Comment

 

[NourmeusXL]

I like it

 

[Turnro]

This is a nice looking model, but there are some things you can do to improve this:

- The Glaive Thrower's portrait doesn't look right since it is zoomed in too close. Perhaps the default camera view used for the original model would look best?

- There is a weird bugs which occurs with this unit. Its mesh parts for some reason rotate around nearby units when the unit itself is under attack. I find this bug particularly hard to explain since I am not sure how it is caused. However, it does show that this model is in need of an update before it can be approved to be working.

Perhaps you could play a normal melee map of Warcraft 3, with the Glaive Thrower's model replaced with yours, and see what happens.

 

[Edge45]

Really, i'll try and take a look.
It's been 2 months since this model is commented

Why are those wheels still spinning during stand animation? and also, there's a bug in this model during decay animation. Please, see the attached image.

 

[Edge45]

The wheels are spinning because when i saw the BE Mana Wagon in War3x. It was spinning, About the bug, i'll check it out. Is it from Geo Anims?

 

[Bloody Wolf]

a fine job

 

[Misha]

you should try recalculating extents, maybe that fixes the bug?

 

[Randomall]

Nice model

 

[Turnro]

Happy to see you are working on this model

I've downloaded the Glaive Thrower again, but I'm still getting the same bug. I know that this now occurs every time the unit begins to decay. Perhaps the images below will give you a better idea what I am talking about:

NOTE: You should now be able to see the images. Before, I had them only available in my private album.

 

[Misha]

hmm.. how about converting to mdl, opening in notepad, replacing all 'helper' words with 'bone', exiting and saving on prompt, and converting back to mdx?

to my knowledge these helper objects are the cause of a lot of bugs

will see at what else you could poke at, IF that doesn't work either, lol

 

[eubz]

During the decay animation, while the whole geosets seem pulled down, at some frames it came out again and repeats the whole process. You'll need to really test this in game to see the problem.

 

[Edge45]

I'll see what i can do.
I'll try Misha's Advice

 

[Edge45]

Ok so how's this, I tested it and heres a screenshot. So tell me, are there any more bugs?

Not from what I can see. I've tested the new version of the Glaive Thrower, and the death animation bug has been fixed.

Good job.

 

[Heinvers]

Fitting for a high elf theme race. The wheels still spin when standing.
