[Mangrove229]

:?: Hey, I got GMax, but i can't get the stuff to convert my model back into a MDX or MDL file (i can convert MDL to MDX and vice versa) so, can some plz either give link to a model editor that edits MDL or MDX or else help me convert GMax file back? :?:

I dont think you can convert gmax files.

You can convert gmax files but it is a lengthy process.

-Save Files as .md3 files (Quake Files)
-Import md3 files in to Milkshape 3d and convert to .3ds
-Get the .3ds to .MDX converter
-Convert .MDX to .MDL and check skin paths
-Then convert back to .MDX and it should load into warcraft

Now i've been using this technique for awhile now so if you have any further questions i will answer them as soon as i have time.

Use the dex exporter script

If you need further info and stuff download oz02's gmax modelling pack.

Did it also save the units animation?

the models i have been using have had only one animation. it transfered the animation to the .mdx format. so im not sure how a multianimation model would transfer. your best bet is to use the dex exporter.
