Not working model (AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!)

[NhazUl]

Well, I do the following:
I open the Admiral Proudmoore model in the Model Editor
I scale it to make it more slender
I export the skin with the Warcraft 3 Viewer, edit it and convert it back to "Rakovski.blp"
In the Model Editor I remove all Glow geosets and materials
I change the materials to be with the Rakovski.blp skin instead of Proudmoore.blp
I import a Geoset from the Revenant model and apply a material with Rakovski.blp on it
I save the model as Rakovski.mdx
In the WE, I import "Rakovski.mdx", removing "War3MapImported/"
I import the Rakovski.blp skin, again removing "War3MapImported/"
I save the map and close the WE (NOT only the map)
I start the WE again and create a custom unit, setting its model to Rakovski.mdx
And the WE crashes.

Well I need your help.

 

[Xarwin]

Possibly you did something wrong when editing the model, which makes the WE crash.
I'm not an expert, so please wait for advanced answers

 

[NhazUl]

So, WHATEVER mdx file I import, when I try to use it, the WE crashes!

EDIT: IS THERE ANYONE THAT CAN HELP OR SHOULD I SPAM THE WHOLE FORUM???

 

[Xarwin]

Patience is something nice.
So first of all, if like u said, every model makes WE crash, you should try to reinstall it.
Properly there could be also another error, caused by something else.
Be sure of the things you said, and I suggest to spam nothing.

That won't be necessary.

To repair maps damaged by corrupt models, follow the procedure described in:

> Artist's Discussion > Modeling > Beware Of Corrupted Model Files!

Maps damaged by corrupted models may be repaired using this procedure: Obtain and install MPQ editing software. MPQ master v1.2.0 MPQ2K 1.020 Open the MPQ editor and select: Open File. Set the file type selector to All File Types. Browse to the folder that contains the damaged map and open it. Remember to open the correct .w3m or .w3x map, NOT a .mpq file. View the map's list file which displays all imported resources. Note: Occasionally, especially during protection / optimization, files are renamed so they are not recognizable. In this case, you should make quite a few backups, and perform trial & error tests until you get the right one. Delete each and every .mdx file (and any associated .blp texture files) which are suspected of being corrupt. Exit the MPQ editing software; no need to save the map: once the unstable files have been deleted, the map's MPQ archive will be restored. Test the map in Blizzard's World Editor and in Warcraft III.

When you remove the glow geoset, you have a geoset animation with no geoset attached. This is one of many things that crashes maps.
Find the geoset anim that has no assigned geoset, remove it, and then test that.

[NhazUl]

No, the map is not corrupted, it just crashes when I try to set the custom model to a unit and then this is not saved and the map can be loaded again in the WE. I have tried with geoset animations, removed this one with the missing glow and put 3 for the other 3 geosets but... it did not work. Well the WE does not crash when I import models with custom geosets but no custom skins...

 

[NhazUl]

Well Motherfuckers, If None Of You Wants To Help Me, Fuck Yourselves In Your Common Shitty Ass!!!

 

[donut3.5]

What do you think we are? Do you think we know all the answers? You obviously don't. If you expected us to solve a problem if you wont even give us the model, then that's your problem, not ours.
--donut3.5--

 

[NhazUl]

And how can I give you the model?

 

[donut3.5]

By attaching it in a post? But I don't know if I will, considering your attitude. Come back when something isn't shoved halfway up you. >_>

[NhazUl]

Well, here are the files. The skin is noobish, yes. I'm sorry for my... um, immoderate behaviour. I just got nervous because of the lack of any reply and drunk a lil bit more coffee than normally. So will someone try to solve my problem or shall this forum be fated to eternal damnation?

 

[Arab4life]

I will help you, but can you give me the path for the skin first?

 

[NhazUl]

Has no path... Its customized from Proudmoore's skin (Units/other/Proudmoore/Proudmoore.blp)but I changed it in the Model Editor so it requires the new skin without any path (or at least I think so). And 10x man.

 

[Eleandor]

the path is "Rakovski.blp".

 

[NhazUl]

So I did write it, but it does not work for now.

 

[robot-dude]

Your Geosets in your Edited Model Head have messed up they do not move with the model, and thats why it was messing up in WE.

 

[NhazUl]

Your Geosets in your Edited Model Head have messed up they do not move with the model, and thats why it was messing up in WE.

Hm... in my Model Editor it shows that they DO move... strange, in another model I have customized, I inserted other geosets but the model DOES show up in the WE, but however, one of the inserted geosets is floats with the body instead of moving together with the left hand where I attached it... here it is.

However, could someone please... help me fix this problem with these non-moving geosets?... I mean teaching me how to do it, not doing it for me.

 

[robot-dude]

use Warcraft3Viewer too view your models...

 

[NhazUl]

Whoa, I cannot remember how to test animations in the Viewer...
And, I have the same problem with another model. Any idea how to get rid of this geoset-mess? Here is the model.

 

[robot-dude]

ok and here is what is wrong with your model

Is that cape or hair pose to be their if not i can easly remove it for yeah.

 

[NhazUl]

I tried to remove the cape by centering all vertices of it to X;Y;Z: 0;0;0 using center of mass (this part of it that is part from the body geoset, the other one with the team color was removed via Geoset removing) But although it showed that nothing of the cape has remained, there is still this... with no vertices for it.

 

[robot-dude]

I've noticed that but maybe i can find it in milkshape 3d.

ok found it i think theirs a small vertex where that cape is.

Going to find it in vertex modifier then remove it for yeh.

 

[NhazUl]

I'll be very grateful to you for this, but... on the other model, Rakovski.mdx, I have removed nothing but the glow and its geoset animation... and it still crashes the WE.

 

[robot-dude]

Ok i fixed it

 

[NhazUl]

10x but it still crashes the WE...

 

[robot-dude]

i think its the .blp's convert them to .tga them conver them to .blp with 75%

 

[NhazUl]

Like I said in the title - again and again...

 

[robot-dude]

ok here it is.

i change them to 50% it should work if not i'll check it out.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Chetnik?

 

[NhazUl]

Chetnik?

Kind of fighter for national freedom in my country's history.

Robot-dude, it does not work, whatever compression I use.

 

[NhazUl]

I do not edit my post in order to dig the thread... sorry for this but I still cant get rid of the problem...
