Model Portrait

[Airandius]

Oke, I was making some models, well more or less editing blizzard ones.
For example removing weapons.

How do I make these edits use the portrait of the regular one?
It always appears black to me.

you have to either import the model with same path as the original, or export modelname_portrait.mdx and reimport it under the new name

You can remove weapons without modeling you know?
Skinning, find a tutorial i think its called "alpha skinning" It simple just just open the mpq export the skin, than you do something with alpha on the weapon. save the skinn convert it to .blp and import into editor

I know, but skinning is rather hard for me since most 2d art tools keep crashing on me.
Thanks though ^^.

(BTW, it was because I changed the animation of a worker unit to display his gold bag instead of lumber when harvesting tree's.
To bad the map has failed because of a system it needs which is sadly.. Not possible.. xD

Ohhh... :S

But i think you can trigger the animation...

It would take some time, but it should be possible.

It's far easier to just do a simple model edit. =)
And well the system I need is when you attack a certain tree (lets say summer tree is gold, barren tree is iron and fall tree is just a tree) the unit gets a custom value and when it restores it wont deposit the lumber but the gold iron and wood will be stored in an integer.

But I was unable to detect these things also tried when a doodad is attacked but no luck. So I gave up on the map.
Still have Ziggurat Takeover II to finish..

Why attacking? Isn't there an event "unit is collecting" or something?
Sec...

Edit:
Forget what i wrote... It was just something leaking in my head D:
