Custom models, reign of chaos compatibility

Any one know of a way to test if a custom model is compatible with reign of chaos? (besides uninstalling TFT)


If a model is not combatable then it is invisable for people who dont have TFT, yet looks fine for people who have TFT.

Also is it possable to import tft textures into the map to make the models work on ROC? If so are they a big file size and how can you get the texture files.

It's *Reign of Chaos* not regian.

i fixxed the spelling, but that doesn't help me...

Why would you need it to be RoC compatible? I don't think you can even buy the game on its own anymore, and no one plays the original on Bnet.

Actualy there are a ton of people who only have RoC. Also when im at the store i only see RoC being sold never TFT.

It possible to import custom skins for RoC units (don't know about custom models though) to RoC maps via a third party MPQ editor, but it might be a tedious for those who are new to editing archived files.

You'll find various MPQ editing tools at the tool section. Recommended ones are WinMPQ, PowerMPQ and MPQ Master.

how do u know is a skin/texture(or w/e its called, the parts of the image that wraps around the 3d model, uses) is a roc or tft tho?

edit: its textures, not skins that i need to know if its roc or tft.

I have the same problem here... an answer to this question (on the basis of models) would be very helpful... only if people would stop asking why are you using roc instead of tft...
