[Dragonmantj]

I can't extract a custom model so that i can convert it to an mdl so i can use Vertex Modifier to remove its weapon, Help PLZ!?

If you use Magos Model Editor: (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/war3-model-editor-62876/)

1. Open it
2. Click on "Windows"
3. Click on "MPG Browser"
4. Click on "File"
5. Click on "War3.mpq" if you need units from ReignOfChaos
Click on "War3x.mpq" if you need units from FrozenThrone
6. Click on "Units" (if you want to extract a model of a unit)
7. Choose a unit, for example "Units/Human/Arthas"
8. Open the folder "Arthas"
(Now you see 2 .mdx files (Arthas.mdx and Arthas_Portrait.mdx)
9. Right-Click on Arthas.mdx
10. Click on "Export"
11. Save it somewhere

If you use the WC3Viewer: (http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/warcraft-iii-viewer-62878/)

1. Open the Viewer
2. Find the "StructureView-Window" (if it's not there press CTRL+H)
3. Double-Click the path there
4. Double-Click on Units
5. Find Arthas under Human
6. Double-Click on Arthas
7. Right-Click on the Arthas.mdx file
8. Click on "Extract MDX"
9. Save it

Export succesful!!

Use this converter to convert to .mdl:

I can extract models from the game MPQ files but not from my folders that i have downloaded custom models to i can see them in tree view and in the viewer but i cant extract!

 

[Xezko]

are you sure you extract those from the .zip file first?

 

[Dragonmantj]

Yes i did

 

[Xezko]

just put the .mdx in the MDL/X Converter and a .MDL will be created in the same folder as the .mdx
Then you can open it with oinkerwinke's vertex modifier.
