Change attachment request

[E1ysian]

I want the Night Elf Blademaster model but with the Dagger of Time attachment on it instead of the sword.

I've got permission from the modelers.
Thanks

Do you mind sending me wc3 and wc3x mpqs? You'll find them in your wc3 folder. I need them for my model editor. You can use the pastebin or my email: [email protected]

I'll try to do that, but I'm really no modeler, so I may not succeed

If somebody doesn't beat me to it, that is

Okay, those are some large files but I'll mail them to you.

Edit: They where too large to mail ^^ I'll try the pastebin

Edit 2: :S Seems to be a problem there too... now you give me an idea. Do you use oneswarm?

I will try this for you!

Heh, nvm then, sorry for the trouble

chilla_killa will probably help. If not, it's pretty easy, just download Magos Model Editor (you can find it on google), then put those mpqs inside it in order for it to work. Then open the model, find the geoset, node or whatever it's called, remove it, probably remove the textures used for the removed weapon too, if those textures aren't used multiple times in some other body parts. Then you can put that sword you want on the model in-game using Life Regeneration Aura (this tutorial has the info on how to use it).

I suppose that wasn't much helpful and I'm not even sure if that's the right way to do it. This is only if your request won't be answered.

EDIT: Btw, chilla_killa, please remove that last line of your sig, it burns my eyes (both the color and the content),

 

[chilla_killa]

sure, but give me rep for removing it ^^

 

[E1ysian]

thanks to both of you!

 

[chilla_killa]

Yeah I removed the weapon
Now just see tutorial Silvenon sent you!
Here you are :

 

[E1ysian]

Okay thanks. But that tutorial really doesn't make me any wiser. I haven't got any experience to help me out with this stuff.

So I still need help attaching the new weapon :O
Either someone that does it for me, or someone that explains very basically or gives me a link to a more basic guide.

Edit: Okay, I've found some guides and will try this on my own, hopefully I'll fix it. Otherwise I will post questions in another thread and section. You could say the problem is solved, or will be.

No, I meant you should find the part about Life Regeneration Aura, not read the whole tut (though when you become a jasser, you should read that because it's effin useful).

ACnr (Life Regeneration Aura): Perfect to attach effects with team colour to units. Just set the amount of life regenerated to zero and targets to only self. Then add the model you want to attach to the target art field and specify the attachment point. This will attach the model to the unit that has this ability and the team colour parts of it will change according to the owner. This also works in conjunction with morph abilities. If the team colour happens to mess up in certain situations the following code should fix it.

You can just do what this says. Even though your weapon has no team color, this is still useful (though there are probably thousands of ways to attach stuff to units ).

Get it?

I found two good tutorials that describes weapon attachment in a very nice way. Tanks anyway
