Need help!

I made a custom Archimonde model, everytime i import him in the War3 map editor and try to appoint a unit to the new model the editor stops working and closes....

Why does this happen???

 

[phoenixfire]

I'm not a modeler, but perhaps one of the files you used is corrupt, does not work, or has a non-working texture?

 

[darknes1124]

Well the files were stictly blizz files. I just customized using vertex modifier asnd war3model editor. saved the same way as a few other models i made. I did notice that the location for the origional skin is different than the modified skin.

Heres the files. I just cant get it to work like the rest. Archemonde's skin was the different location when imported, said something like "units/.../.../archemonde.blp" when i imported i just erased the "war3.../". i dunno if that matters or not.

 

[phoenixfire]

So, it said:

war3imported/Archemonde.blp
and you put
Archemonde.blp

But the skin for Archemonde's model was
units/campaign/undead/archemonde.blp
or something like that?

You have to get the skin right. But that shouldnt close the editor

 

[darknes1124]

Yea thats exactly right. It wont close the editor if i have just the 2 mdx files imported but when i import the blp file and erase the war3imported. if i dont erase that war3imported then it wont close, but the model still wont work.

I'll get it working tomorrow and tell you what you did wrong. Right now, I can't though

 

[darknes1124]

Thank you very very much! i really appreciate it. Ive just started modeling like 2 days ago lol.

 

[phoenixfire]

Are you sure this is supposed to be a model? It works as a skin if you only use the BLP and add it onto the Warlcok model (map attached)

I'm not really sure how else to help you though, since I have little experience with Magos.

Actually, I have none. I figured this out remembering the only thing I've ever done with Magos: Making a footman skin work while using the original footman.

I like that it works now, thanks btw!! but yea its suppose to be a start to a model, ive changed the geosets to make it look more like a draenei death knight. Erased the whole warlock look. But thank you for getting it working, i dont know what you did though lol. Appreciate it.

This is the pic of what i had so far for him.

I opened the "Warlock" model with the MPQ broswer.
I imported the BLP texture you made.
I changed all unit/demon/warlock/archemonde.blps with your BLP texture and then pimported your BLP texture and the "Warlock" model. You can do this to use both a skin and its original model. By the way, good job. Are you going to upload him? I'd love to use him in my campaign.

 

[darknes1124]

Yup im uploading him right now. I used the file you sent me back to fix him the way with the custom geoset i made and hes working. I really appreciate all your help.

 

[darknes1124]

Ive got another question, when uploading here how do you upload the blp file with the 2 mdx files?

 

[darknes1124]

Nevermind haha i uploaded it last night...well the hive didnt like it, thought it was too simple. So it was uploaded for about 5 minutes lol. I posted the skin though, they dont seem to mind that. But heres the official file for you of the geoset an such. Just import the blp file with no path. erase "war3imported/"

Thanks!
