Icons to Models Pack

[TVK]

Excelent job.

There is a huge potential missing here. Some of these item models could also be used as attachments. As they are, they are not suited for that purpose. Look at Primitive Ward for a way to incorporate the means to be both an item model and an attachment. An animation called "Second" is used. Or perhaps have two different models for each purpose. Two models may prove to be less restrained to use for the end user than an animation.

Of course, this may not have been your intention when creating these models. Yet, these models can be so much more. I sigh at the loss.

Hi there! Thanks for your comment. I think that you're kinda wrong and there's no loss here.
Most of these models just can't be used as attachments.
For example, how and where are going to attach a Potion, a Scroll or a Gem? Sounds silly, right?

Of course, there are some armor and clothing like Mantle of Intelligence, Belt of Giant Strength or a Crown of Kings. They're also can't be really used as attachments due to their weird proportions, designed to precisely match items' icons. Sorry, but I'm not planning to edit any item proportions to make them suitable to attach to units.

You were right about my intentions, this pack supposed to be only a pack of item pickups.
Actually, I will think about creating some weapon attachments for 3 of these items, bcoz there won't be any problems to use them this way. I'm talking about the Brilliance Staff, the Dagger of Escape and the Scepter of Mastery.
Please, note that I am not promising to create them.

Nice Models

 

[Arathorn]

KAIL333XZ, your items models are great and useful!
I'd like to suggest you some new items models which could be very useful on war3:

1) A Hammer. There is no Hammer model on Hive and it could he very useful because there are hammer items and some units are fighting with a hammer too.

2) An armor or even several ones. I mean a full chest armor, something like this

(the icon is just an example, no need to be like this one)

3) A helmet based on this icon

. This icon is often used for items, armors, etc. It would be great if we had a model for it.

It would be awesome if you could do these things, keep up the good work! ; )

 

[GodLike]

Excellent! I've immediately imported potions models.

 

[Tipsilon]

Words can not describe how useful this is! You did some fantastic work!

Hi there

Is this an error in the pack or did something go wrong in my download?

It's only the Scroll of Town Portal. Other scrolls look fine.

Hmm, it works totally fine for me. Try to download the pack again and extract the Scroll of Town Portal again, then import it to your map. Btw, what version of Warcraft III are you using?

Yeah, I already tried that and it didn't help. I'm using whatever the newest version is (but not a beta-test version if there is such a thing).
It's the SD version only (meaning I didn't buy Reforged) and I have SD selected in my editor settings (it let's you choose even when you don't have Reforged).

If it's just a bug on my end (maybe some corrupted game files?) then that's okay, all the other models work great, thank you for making them

@Blacknet @KAIL333XZ
No, it is not only on your end. I have the same issue.
I am fairly sure that this was not present before.

The left one is the one in the download, the right one is one I edited.

On the left one I replaced the texture path Textures\GenericGlow2_mip1.blp with Textures\GenericGlow2b.blp.
I also added the edited one to this post.

 

[Daemonic_Sword]

Amazing!

Hey, I had the same issue. Set the path of GenericGlow2_mip1.blp to Textures\GenericGlow2_mip1.blp when importing to your map.
Edit: Wow, just saw GeneralFrank's post. Somehow I didn't see it before. Sorry.

And while I'm at it, this pack incredibly useful and just so well done. I'm really thankful.

This is simply wonderful

The skin for Dark Key not working?

 

[Kenathorn]

The skin for Dark Key not working?

Did you import its icon using correct path?
The path should be:

ReplaceableTextures/CommandButtons/BTNDarkKey.blp

 

[Gnuoy]

Thanks for your reply.
Yes I did use that path as the readme file indicated. I mean the model, not the icon. The .mdx file has an icon/BTN .blp in the folder with it and I think that might be a mistake unless I'm confused. I just substituted the Ghost Key. Not a huge deal to me but maybe the creator would be concerned.

 

[Deolrin]

You need to import the icon to the exact path given above for the Dark Key to work. The icon is the texture.

 

[Gnuoy]

Thanks for your reply. Despite my hesitation, I did import the BTN.blp file with the recommended path and the key model still displayed as white/skinless.

 

[Kenathorn]

Well, I don't know then. There's just no reason for it to not work properly.
Does icon 'BTNDarkKey.blp' work as an icon when you import it?

 

[Gumberbunbder]

Wow, such quality! thank you! Blood feather's heart would look sick if ever you make it

 

[Gray_Fox]

Thank you very much for this fine work, I don't think I ever need to use that basic chest of gold ever again.

 

[Villagerino]

The quality is real!

 

[HolyWolf]

really nice! love it! I want more !!!!

 

[Barade]

Great pack! Do team colors work with these models? For example, if I change the owner of an item, does the team color/glow appear somewhere on the model?

 

[LovG]

This looks awesome

 

[JMitchy]

Super quality and super useful! 5/5

 

[emperor_d3st]

Love you!

 

[Armelior_is_back]

One of the most useful resource to give a bit of variety to RPG maps

 

[PMilan]

Oh... my... god. How could you do this? This is amazing stuff. I cannot say other just: "Awsome".

 

[Noctiss_Season2]

as said, the usefulness of this pack is monumental

Hi @Kenathorn , when you got some extra time, if you like the idea, can you make more items from the game into item models also compatible for reforged?

Like:
-ring of protection
-ring of regeneration
-jade ring
-sobi mask
-hood of cunning
-arcanite shield
-maul of strength
-killmaim
-ritual dagger
-searing blade
-serathil
-shaman claws
-firehand gauntlets
-book of the dead
-boots of quel'thalas

and

from upgrades :
-improved bows
-strength of the moon

 

[Barbafire]

More than wonderful work!

 

[Jab1z]

 

[InSaNe_97]

Excellent. How are special effects and glows made? WarCraft III has them to such goodness, to such quality.

 

[AceOwl]

Would be so nice if blizzard actually updated the actual game with those models. Would be such a quality of life, so satisfying to see all the potions and items on the ground.

 

[Gnuoy]

[Insert rant about Reforged and joke about Blizzard being a small indie company here]

 

[maxyall]

I use the ring of regeneration one in particular to represent all jewelry and trinkets on my map. The look is distinct and fits the tone nicely.

These are just polygons with transparent texture, and they're not affected by lightning (100% brightness in any conditions)

Let's just say that I'm not planning to do the whole list at the moment, but some more items will be implemented in 3d soon, and the work has already begun.

Effects of WarCraft III, and even fore - custom effects of here, look like nothing I know and to be made in that way imagining I fail.
