NeoDex 2.65 MDLX Toolkit for Gmax / 3ds Max

[Moderator]

PurgeandFire: Approved and highly recommended. NeoDex is a wonderful set of tools designed to ease the process of developing models for Warcraft III. It is also probably the only export script that is actively being maintained.

Once I extract it to the 3ds max installation folder and launch 3ds max (2010)
It just gives me an error.
Any idea how to fix it?

Take a screenshot of the error or post the error log.

Sorry I normaly pay attention to the main thread.

Here download that it's a fix for certain versions of 3dsmax, looks like 2.5 cuts compatibility with version 2010, but 2.52 fixes it:

NeoDex 2.52

Sry, it's hard to keep compatibility from Gmax to newest versions.

Anyways I haven't uploaded it here since I would like to finish 2.6's changes.

I have installed it for gmax and it works. But how can I open "mdx" or "mdl" files? I can´t open that files.

wait for next version, which will allow you to import models, the current version just allows exporting.

The greatest tools ever made! Thank you BlinkBoy, for making them! It's the only thing that works with "shadow maps" along art tools - which don't work on windows 7. If it wasn't for this I would be making the things I do today.

And would it be able to import the models' animation sequences? With the option to rename them for Starcraft 2?

 

[Teravia_RX]

Is there any time frame this will be updated to allow imports? Or I think i will just use the old scripts located on another website

It´s funny, the import script has been almost ready for about 8 months or so, but I haven´t had time to finish it. Let´s see if I can get some spare time next week.

Hey I'm trying this out on GMAX, but I keep getting this error when trying to run NeoDexInstaller, "Type error: Call needs function or class, got: undefined" And how do I "view" the mdx model's animation sequences within GMAX?

Make sure you extract the folders within GMAX´s installation folder.

About viewing sequences, you can do it manaualy or use an extra tool called Sequence Manager.

 

[RanchBurner]

OK, what is the exact directory path?

 

[BlinkBoy]

OK, what is the exact directory path?

Run GMAX type F11 or (Maxscript -> Maxscript Listener)

in the listener write this then hit enter:

getDir #maxRoot

it should ansswer like this:

getDir #maxRoot
"C:\Users\DELL\Documents\gmax\"

The folder it tells you is where you should extract the files.

The folder it tells you is where you should extract the files.

OK, when I run 'em now (assuming a path like this can also work: "C\gmax\") nothing happens, no error message. I'm guessing that's all correct?

yeah, most probably, just make sure to restart gmax after and check if the NeoDex menu is there.

I'm still not seeing the "NeoDex" menu on top of the window. And here's the whole log:

[BlinkBoy]

you probably didn't extract the files where you were suppose to.

you need to find the gmax installation folder and extract the files exactly there as they are within the zip

 

[RanchBurner]

C\gmax\installation? I have no such directory within my Gmax. I must be terribly confused.

if you installed gmax on C:\\gmax then you should unzip the files there.

 

[RanchBurner]

Did so and Tadaah! Thanks much!

Please Help!!Thanks!

 

[BlinkBoy]

[uduuduuud]

Hi,genius man， can you fix event objects part script？
the event objects note is all delayed。（when mdx import ）
I need fix the note everytime when I made A model used Warcraft base model。

I cant find where to fix the code，

strangely， the bllizard particle/spray is always right time（notes is right）。

 

[zapxceor]

can i use this to export dota 2 models? from 3ds max

 

[Solu9]

I get this error when I use "Run Script..." and click the "NeoDexInstaller":


I use 3Ds Max 2015
Since I already had the folders found in the NeoDex .rar files (maps/plugins etc.) in my 3Ds Max directory I just copied the files within these folders (from the .rar file) to the corresponding folders.
I didn't want to overwrite anything.

What can cause this problem?

it's a known bug, like 3 or 5 pages from this one, someone posted a patch to fix it.

Okay that's good news

But those pages you are referring to. There are only 2 pages in this thread, so I'm guessing you mean another thread?

 

[Ezekiel12]

@Solu9: It's somewhere around here.

 

[Solu9]

Great! I think I got it to work.
I had to change several "this"'s. I just changed them to; this2, this3 and so on.

Thanks for the help

 

[Remixer]

How do I even "run" GMAX, there is nothing I can run in the folders? Am I just a retard?

 

[Fondito]

Hey can you give me the version 2.70 , because the neodex doesn't work in 3d max 2015. or if you know how to fix the problem can you tell me how.i read more in the top,he change the this for this2 or something like that but i dont understund

 

[maxxxus]

i'm working with 2010. i've downloaded https://www.hiveworkshop.com/threads/neodex-2-65-mdlx-toolkit-for-gmax-3ds-max.239059/page-2. but when i run neodexinstaller.ms, it does not work correctly:

does anyone know how to fix it?

 

[BlinkBoy]

This means the plugins weren't loaded, make sure you extracted all the files in the correct folders.

 

[yxq1122]

Thanks to blinkboy, Neodex, the greatest modeling tool was presented. It supports to work with the newest 3dsmax and gmax to design wc3 models. This is incredible.

l expect more features to be packaged into it.

 

[sonphamthe11H]

I’m here to report a bug:
2 bones linked and have far distance will not be animated
Pls fix it sir @BlinkBoy

 

[FlameStarter1-0]

how ya install?

 

[BobOfficialPando]

which version of max should I use

 

[Jaccouille]

Used this to export models from another game (Dawn of war 2) into mdx format, worked pretty well, except that the exported model got scaled down to the point where I can't see it, haven't figured out why.
