Need help in Model Exporting

[Madison]

Hello hiveworkshopians:

I'm working in some models in 3ds max that I'm planning to release here as resources. The current version I'm running is 3ds max 7 (yeah I know it's a prehistoric version but it's the only one I need because I also create models for other games and that's the one I need), however, all MDX/M2/M3 scripts and plugins work perfectly.

I need to know how to export those models to MDX format.. I've tried several times through the MDX exporter but my models don't seem to work.

Is there an updated tutorial to learn how to do it? Do I have to use another program or 3ds max is the correct one?

Any help is appreciated

What is "the MDX exporter"?
As far as I know, the only reliable exporters are the original Art Tools, which you can't use, and NeoDex, which you might be able to use (but I can't imagine it's actually backwards compatible with 3ds Max 7).
You should probably export to .3ds/.max, import that into a more recent version, and use NeoDex.

Oh, it's an old script for 3ds max 5 or above (I guess) so it's compatible with max 7.



I can successfully import MDX models into max 7 but when I export a modified model back to MDX and load it in the Warcraft 3 Viewer, it crashes.

I know there are more programs to edit models but I'm not familiar with them and they also look harder to use than 3ds max.

No one can magically know what's wrong with no model to check, and no script to check.
But again, just get a more recent version of 3ds Max and use NeoDex.
