TUSKARR RACE!?!?! Igloo looks sick!

I found some problems with your models.

• Icecutter's Lodge, Northern Vendor Shop, and Igloo are unclickable during Birth animation.
• Your texture paths are really mixed, I suggest changing them into a similar format for ease of usage.
• Hive's Sanity Tester detected a lot of other issues, one of the models had 8000+ warnings in it. Please optimize them.

Hi, thanks for these awesome models!

Sorry if that's a dumb question, but when I apply the recommended texture path (e‧g. Buildings/FreezingLegion/CrystallineCavern/Spidermine‧blp), my WE returns an error message saying it can't find create that repository, and that the access path is not found Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks a ton!

there is problem which the system said unable create directory for the path (Buildings/FreezingLegion/AltarOfTheIce/AltarofTheIce.blp), may I ask how to solve it?

Until Reforged, the forward slash '/' is an illegal path for Warcraft III and you should NOT USE IT. Instead, you should use the backwards slash '\' which is the way to separate folders on Warcraft III and Windows. This has been the case for 20 years. Reforged tries to support the forward slash '/', but it can probably still cause issues. In general, you should just never use the forward slash '/' on Warcraft III modding unless you can't help it (such as due to a Reforged thing).

HOT DAMN! I've encountered dozens of models with that problem, and I couldn't get a solution‧.. But you just fixed them all at once! Thank you friend <3

Really really useful for a Tuskarr race! Do I have to add the birth animation manually? It would be nice to see a 3 tier main building and a farm. Currently, I use Blizzard's doodad Igloo model for farms and the main building but it does not have any birth animation either.

Do I have to add the birth animation manually?

The birth model is linked via a BirthLink. So, the automatically generated "how to import this model" thing on Hive is not correct. The attached "FBirth" file should load in game as the birth animation for these models if you import it to the path "SharedModels\FBirth". This is the same system used by Night Elf and Undead birth models ingame.

It would be nice to see a 3 tier main building and a farm.

When I used these models, I used the "Igloo" model ("Igloobase6.mdx") as the farm. Yes it has extra decals beyond simply an Igloo, but I was using these models on Windows 7-10 with higher specs than what Warcraft 3 was originally designed for and I do not recall encountering any particular lag from having a fancier farm model. At some point I had a non-decorated original igloo model which linked the same birth animation, but as you might figure making such a model in Retera Model Studio by using the base original igloo should probably only take a matter of seconds.
For the town hall, I was this:

Frozen Halls [and derivatives]

This is the model of the Frozen Halls from the Heaven's Fall mod. In particular, it contains proper animations for using as a 3-tiered custom Town Hall. Today I was toying with it and tried making a derivative model that does not use custom textures. I think that years ago when I created this...

Edit: Here are examples of me using these ingame:

Works fine now with the birth animation and I use the town hall you linked. I already use all the buildings as something different than farm, so Blizzard's Igloo linked with your birth animation would be cool

Any tips on how to import and replace the Ground Texture? FreezingLegionUberSplat

tips on how to import and replace the Ground Texture?

Was this never answered?
Extract the stuff in the SLK files Splats\UberSplats.slk or something like that, and then edit it in a spreadsheet editor. Add a row for your own ground texture. Then import the SLK into your custom map and restart the world editor. Then use SHIFT+ENTER to set the Ground Texture setting on your custom unit to the 4 letter rawcode ID that you added in the SLK.

That's a really rough tutorial, but it's the idea behind what worked for me when I was doing this years ago. If I were to go back and look at how to do it again, I would simply rediscover as I went along, same as you.
