Disarm v1.06

[Kyrbi0]

WHY WAS I NOT INFORMED?

Excellent. I'm lovin' it.

 

[ToastAddict1057]

Useful
Used for all my custom maps 5/5

 

[Lord Javad]

This is useful tool. thanks my friend

 

[geeksoul]

great tool 5/5

This is groovy But why does it remove more than the weapon sometimes? It removes Arthas's hand and the abomination's too. Also, it gives weird errors with custom models. Care to elaborate?

Otherwise it works actually and it's very smart.

EDIT: LOL Disarming the Tauren Chieftain removes the whole model
And about the hand removal, it's actually my fault. I should have chosen 'no'.

EDIT2: After playing around with this for a while, I think it's pretty good. It has very few issues for the original wc3 models (like the tauren chieftain), and very few issues with custom models form the Hive. However, every once in a while it removes the whole body or the face or a body part very distant to the weapon. Maybe it's a problem with the model itself not this program, but I wouldn't know that.

 

[MouMou]

Nice

 

[Apostle]

Good tool, but it can remove more than you wanted removed...

I however, would like to note it seems to break models with parts of other models used in them.

They don't seem to show in-game, despite showing in Disarm.

I agree.
Same for me, i used archer Model.

I have edited this bundle and changed the version number from Disarm v1.05 to Disarm v1.06. There are no major functional differences in the program.
However, Disarm uses several Matrix Eater libraries, and I have continued development on the Matrix Eater since a year and a half ago when Disarm was published, so I believe there have been a few tweaks to the model editing libraries in that time that will fix minor bugs in this release.

If anyone has any issue that would suggest Disarm v1.05 was better than Disarm v1.06 in any way, please inform me immediately. I do not use Disarm very frequently, and am less likely to catch bugs in a build like this than in the Matrix Eater.

Edit: You can also develop code with Disarm and add your own features if you know Java. Just Google up the Matrix Eater Developer Tutorial online.

Started toying around with weapon and shield attachments and this has been an absolute godsend.

It happens only the first time, repeat the action and it will be ok.
I am not sure, but it was the same for me.

I will try, thanks for the immediate response BTW Merry Christmas.

 

[Archmage Antonidas]

i can't run it
it says like this

 

[Archmage Antonidas]

i run "Run as Administrator" but it is the same

I hear English is a pretty good language, and it is even better if you actually read things written in it.

 

[Retera]

Sometimes my old library code I was using tries to require strict Run as Admin access which it doesn't actually need anymore. It might help if you go into AppData and delete your JWC3 folder if you don't mind losing any Matrix Eater preferences that might be stored there. I suggest backing it up before you delete it.
After you move/delete that folder, if you find it, then it should prompt you again to ask which Warcraft 3 installation you would like to use when you open Disarm.
You could also try downloading the Matrix Eater software, and using it to configure these settings, if possible. They share the config files in AppData.

 

[Daffa]

Would be nice to have this ported to Mac.

 

[Retera]

Yes, it works on Mac. You just need some extra library files that I didn't include to reduce the file size. I don't personally have a Mac but I sent a Hayate a copy of the Matrix Eater (which uses the same libraries) that included the Mac library files, and he said it worked mostly, with a few minor mac-specific bugs that it seemed like he could overcome by resizing the window.

 

[Daffa]

Would you mind sharing the files?

 

[Retera]

Sure. Sorry I didn't before, I was on a train leaving work.
Based on my understanding, the process to use it on Mac is as follows:

1. Download Disarm here on the Hive
2. Get the "MacMatrixEaterLibs.zip" attachment to this post, take out all the files, and put the files in your Disarm root folder (not in a subfolder)
3. Install Java for Mac (maybe it will already come installed?)
   
4. Run "Disarm.jar" using your Mac Java installation (google will have advice on how to run a JAR file, but on some systems it is as easy as a double-click)

 

[Daffa]

Thank you very much
Would be great to attach that post as a link for other Mac users as well out there.

 

[Legal_Ease]

Hero glow too please?

 

[Dion King]

Retera I have a problem here. I have installed the Disarm on my computer is Windows 7 and installed jre-8u161-windowsx64(Java), well it didn't work out. Can you give me the link for installing the correct java? My system is 64 bit

Antonidas, I also had the same problem, the problem was that my Warcraft III was on the desktop and the program was always looking at C: not on the desktop, so I put Warcraft on C: and then it worked perfectly, I hope this message can help you.

 

[Retera]

I think this old video from 2014 that I made about how to set up the Matrix Eater software might also work on Disarm.
Maybe try this same thing, and see if you can get around the annoying errors, and then disarm should work hopefully:

If you are on Patch 1.30 there are no MPQ files so the modding tools won't work until I rewrite them, which I did not do yet.
If you are not on Patch 1.30 then there should be a way to configure Disarm to open your game MPQ files. If this is not working, try copying the MPQ files from your Warcraft 3 installation into Disarm -- for really old versions, that might be the best fix, but it wastes file space and is not ideal.
You could PM me if you are still having trouble. Generally speaking, I developed Disarm in a couple of hours as a hack on top of the Matrix Eater codebase, so I am not so rigorous about keeping it up to date. It is possible that a fixed version exists in my codebase on github and that I did not update the downloadable binary here on the Hive.

You could check the "prod" branch on Retera/JWC3 if you can figure out the annoying process of downloading and compiling it

Edit: I suppose this is partially in jest. The goal of disarm is to be easy, and compiling it yourself is not. If I work out how to make the Matrix Eater compatible with CASC (Patch 1.30 File System), then I will be able to publish a Disarm version that is also compatible with that, and maybe it will work automatically.

 

[Arkaniel]

Does it work on every armed model?

 

[Retera]

I wouldn't say every, but it tries to be as general case as possible, especially if you try the different popup options

 

[Arkaniel]

Sounds pretty good to me, thanks.

 

[eejin]

Do you have any intention of updating it to function with the newest Warcraft 3 version? Once you do it can be reviewed for approval. Refer to the tool submission rules or contact me if you need any clarification.

 

[Retera]

I included disarm last night in my switch to an automated build system, Gradle, for my codebase. It's hard to see because the codebase is still muddled with old stuff but if you import it with Gradle it now cleanly creates only 4 projects -- war3 data, war3 editor style components, disarm, and matrixeater:
Retera/JWC3

But I have some house cleaning to do in the codebase. Disarm was built on the previous version of my editor system, where a single "everything class" called MDLDisplay managed interactions between GUI and model data.
After I rewrote MDLDisplay and separated it into the ModelView, ModelEditor, Manipulator, and Activity Java interfaces as well as separate renderer classes about a year and a half ago, I did not update Disarm and its code sat in my repo with compile errors. Furthermore, MDX Scaler was accidentally committed overtop of Disarm because it began as a quick hack of the same project.
So there is work to be done, and the source has had compile errors for more than a year, preventing it from running at all. But Disarm is not a complicated program. When I get around to updating it, I anticipate the update will go fairly smoothly. Matrix Eater repo tests have shown that the new JCASC library from DrSuperGood makes it possible for these old tools of mine to be upgraded for Patch 1.30.

 

[Kyrbi0]

That's awexome.

 

[jj84]

Please make a tool for add weapon to models.

I am getting the same MPQ error.

How do we fix this?

 

[Yeti]

Hello retera sometimes i like your programs but sometimes i cant run please fix that

 

[grimgrents]

Why is it "awaiting update"?
Great tool as always! thanks

 

[StonemaulMidget]

Hey Retera,
This program used to work for me well, but then it crashed and I couldn't use it since. It gives me this error, which involves Java.

Recommendations? Because I believe you said that you have built Disarm using 4 Java programs.

 

[jonathan ross]

yeah me 2

 

[kovadarra]

Is there a similar kind of tool for removing hero glows?

 

[Lord Zodiac]

We need this hero glow !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE
