custom model selection/portrait help

[ElectricSaiyan]

I created a Link model from scratch and all my textures and animations are from scratch in Milkshape.

I created a portrait camera in war3 model editor but it won't show up, and the camera is visible in the war3 viewer, so i'm not sure what's going on. Also, when your mouse hovers over a model, the selection circle will pop around the model, but that doesn't happen for mine (in-game). The only way to select the unit is to use the box selection thing, which makes it impossible for my allies to attack me...good or bad.

any help would be greatly appreciated!

could you post your model (only the model file), I need to check the min and max extents and the camera.

ES, you didn't export properly. You didn't use Guesst's exporter, you probably used Magos Model Editor's import, right? That's why you can't select it normally.
About the portrait I'm not sure.

nope donut, i used guesst's and it worked great...
But i've had this problem with all the models i've made from scratch i believe...

except not with the portrait.

by the way donut, you're pretty popular over here aren't you? haha

A little bit.
Anyways, try go to the Edit->Calculate Extents in Magos. See if that works.

I did not know that magos recalculated extents, but after looking at the tool. It looks like it only recalculates them for the first animation, and then just give those to all the animations. You may present troubles in your attack slam if this is the case.

hey guys
after recalculating the extents and screwing around with the collision shapes it's great! So far, as long as you meant it wouldn't explode and be weird, the attack slam still works. Now my model is now
thanks
