Model Question.

[Dragoon-Slayer]

Ok, I got a quick question on Models/Skins...

Where should I put all my skins, because every time I load up my map it doesn't load, and comes out as a Green and Black box, like it can't load or something.

Anyway have ideas of what path I should put and where I should put the files?

 

[Dark_hunter4]

Every time you download a skin or anything that replaces over - even models come with skins - it shows you which path you should replace.

 

[Dragoon-Slayer]

What about the .MDL file?

 

[reason 3]

Same for it,most models have the custom path they require in the description below them.If they don't have nothing then you don't need to change the pathing.

 

[rAmPaGingONI]

just remove the war3mapimported from the name in the import manager and add what they tell you to add
as for where to put them, i just made a folder named "models" in my main warcraft folder and use that

Why do this?Models that don't require a special "path" work fine,even without removing it.

Ok, another quick question.
How can I make it build able on Water?
in Object Editor

 

[reason 3]

Able to build on water?This is common sense...you cannot build on water!Unless you create something to X region(which is water)with triggers.

 

[rAmPaGingONI]

you can build on water. just set the movement type of the building to float. yes ive tested this.
EDIT: oh and make sure that the "pathing-placement requires" field is empty except for amphibious pathable or sea pathable

Does anyone know why you have issues where you can load models, it says "Unable to load: Example.mdl?"

 

[Dragoon-Slayer]

Help? I'm having trouble with a File which is MDX/MDL and the Model is black hawk. Military Chopper.

Some files I restart Map Editor and redo Import and I keep getting the Error of unable to load file .....
I've redone everything, and yet still comes out with the same result.

 

[rAmPaGingONI]

what path are you using for it?

 

[Dragoon-Slayer]

I use filename.mdx nothing else.

 

[rAmPaGingONI]

cant help you there. ive had a couple of models like that, and nothing i did made them work

 

[Dragoon-Slayer]

But other people are able to, its like... I don't get it...

 

[reason 3]

The model you want to import in your map is here in Hiveworkshop?If so post a link here and i will tell you its path.

 

[Dragoon-Slayer]

Model Thats the model.

 

[reason 3]

And here is the import path for everything

Import the skins to the following paths:
TerranSmoke1.blp
GoliathFire2.blp
RedGlow2.blp
HavocTC.blp
w01.blp
w02.blp
w03.blp
w04.blp
w05.blp
w06.blp

 

[Dragoon-Slayer]

So what you make a folder for each one say example.

wo3.blp/filename (wo3.blp)?

....

they SHOULD come with the dl.

 

[Dragoon-Slayer]

Nvm...

 

[reason 3]

Open your map,open import manager.Then right click press import file and choose the file you want to import.Then double click on the file you imported delete the war3imported bla bla staff set the paths i told you and you are done.

 

[Kahiera]

sometimes when you first try an imported model, the we says it can't find the file. sometimes it actually can't. the others, all you have to do is close your we and open it again.

 

[Dragoon-Slayer]

I got another quick question, how do you judge what the speed of the animation for a unit and the movement of the model? (Art - Animation Movement ; Movement - Base Movement)

 

[reason 3]

about the animation speed i'm not sure,i don't even know if it can be changed...but about its movespeed change this line
Movement - Base Movement
