Costum Character Potraits

[SporeShay]

I have a question, how can you get costum models to get their portrait ingame, when you playing a map with modeled units, it only shows their face, or nothing or some color. I hope you understand a bit what i mean, could someone help me?

You need another model OR portait animation in that model
if you use another model <your models path>\<model name>_portait.mdx for importing
if you use animation well nothing is needed
animation name must be Portait I think

 

[SporeShay]

the portrait is a model, not an animation, what must I do then?

 

[Need_O2]

umm why dont you work on some units portait
Open War3 Model Editor
Open MPQ editor
open war3.mpq find units/human/footman
there are 2 files footman.mdx and footman_portait.mdx
study on portait some

The model is automatically positioned a certain way, and is displayed like that for the portrait. If a portrait is specified it will then use the portrait model instead of the original model.
