Loading bar issues

[NhazUl]

Hey. I have modified the map loading progress bar for the needs of my project and now I'm having some trouble. I imported new textures for the border and fill of the bar so it should look like this:

(shot in MdlVis)

So I extracted the model, replaced the textures, imported in a map and set the model for loading bar in the Game Interface menu. Both textures are visible in WE (I checked by setting them as icons of some units). The model itself is visible in the WE preview screen when I set it as a doodad's model value.

Now, the troubles.
1. When loading, no load bar is seen (that's after the map has been loaded once).
2. When I open the WE, select the doodad and try to put it on the map, WE crashes.

I've uploaded the model and the fill texture. The border texture can be found here. This is a thread I made for it, but then I thought the problem was in the texture.

I'm expecting help. It is probably some model glitch that I don't know of.

How on earth would the loading bar show if the imports are still being loaded?

 

[NhazUl]

It should show on the second loading of the map, as does everything else (e.g. altered "L O A D I N G" text.) Besides, there was a case when I replaced the fill and it did show.

I'll bump the thread... Please, it can't be so hard that noone can answer.

Why you modifying the loadbar model?
I would imagine it would be far easier to just edit the existing ones skin and import that as it saves some filespace (no model) and also is almost garunteed to work (why should it not).

 

[NhazUl]

Nah, I've tried changing the textures only, couple of times and it didn't work (the fill texture did show up, but not the border). Plus the yellow glow fits better than the default blue.

Well, it could be that the model you are using is curropted. Basicallt the processes you used to edit it broke the model.

Replacing textures in Magos broke the model?! Well... That's pretty strange... unless it's some glitch. However, I'll try again.

The loading screen models are not normal WC3 models, it could be it is adding data which should not be in the model when it converts them.

You must remember that the programmers of some of these tools were not very good.
