I made a model in 3ds max and then animated in milkshape. The animations plays fine in milkshape, but when I export it to a mdx. The model totaly screws up while playing any animation. Just look at this picture.

And here is some of the animations played in milkshape.

And I uses this exporter http://www.wc3c.net/showthread.php?t=86308.

The mdx file:

The milkshape file:

Any help is appreciated.

Not zeroing the joints was definitely the problem. Ugh, i cant count the times that the same thing has screwed me over lol. the only solution is to start over.

Yeah, I was done with the animations again two days ago, but I'm not home so I can't publish my model yet, but soon.

Edit:
I have some question that need answer before I can upload it.

I've made 3 stand animations, and what shall I set the rarity on them in model editor? I've set the stand 2,3 on 20, but in world editor it keeps playing stand 1.

Shall all animations be non-looping, or shall some animations be looping?

a normal stand animation( just some simple moving which you would do when standing) should have a rarity of 0, a stand animation that involves looking around should have a rarity of 2-4 and some special stand animation (like stretching, smoking a cigarette or what else you could imagine) should have a rarity of 5-7.

these animations should be looping: stand, walk
these animations should be non looping: attack, death, dissipate, decay, spell, morph
