I am not the author of the program and I have very little knowledge on anything beside how the program is used.
However. I believe the problem you are having is because of the unit you are transferring animations from, and the unit you are transferring to have different bone sets.

But please read the instructions in the program for further information:

Try to get the the Archer model and then transfer it to Villager male.
It will work.

 

[GaLaxY_256]

I means if I transfer single anim it don't work(Yeah! I know that it need bones.)
BTW Upload more!!

Ah. I explained that I can't DL resources from Wc3c.
My browser sucks

 

[RanchBurner]

Could this be used to import animation sequences into Blender?

 

[FaLLeN]

Just try mine it may work

It can transfer animation among similar models completely ... but they must have same bone names if not u can manually rename it with mdlvis I found it more useful in transferring animations of wow..
It can be useful in combining portrait and model file together ...

Try it I just created for my personal use just uploaded it recently...

[FaLLeN]

It can only transfer linear animations...

World of Warcraft... I was just gonna ask about that. Can their armatures be transferred? (similar to one another)

This tool does not work on complex animations with more frames. It stops halfway the frame transfers. A notepad is better than this tool. Another problem with this tool even after you've done the necessary renaming and matching the bones location. It keeps saying unexpected error in some bone chunks or something. Something like that and more. Crappy tool. Better use magos and mdlvis in animation transfer, Its a bit tricky but its the only effective way I found so far, apart from notepad editing.

help! "component COMDLG.OCX or one its dependencis not correctly registered a file is missing or invaild"

 

[ShadowMidas]

single animations error?

 

[Warseeker]

How can I fix some animations when transfering between two models, some bones doesn't fit with other animation movement?

Both of the models, the one you transfer from and the one you transfer to, must share bone structure.
I don't know of any fixes if the bone structures are not the same. My guess is that the program look for bone names and thereby apply translation, rotation, and scale. If it can't find the corresponding name in the model you transfer to, the process will fail.

 

[Warseeker]

Hey, sorry for necroposting but I have a problem running this programme
every time I click on it I get this error :

Component 'COMDLG32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid

I have the same problem.

It's okay, you can use Retera's Matrix Eater instead.

Hey guys.
I have no idea why this is happening to you. And since I am not the author I don't really have any solution.
I'm guessing you have already tried deleting the program and installing it again ye?

Other than that I dunno. Maybe if you are running Win10 it might screw things up.

 

[Percivali]

it also doesn't work for me

 

[Cake is a Lie]

Very,very useful indeed,but I've encountering some errors...
1) Single animation error
2) What does "File already open"?

But,really...very useful tool!
A 5/5 to you,my friend!

 

[Cake is a Lie]

I have the same problem.

Same here,mon. Anybody can explain this?

 

[ToolorDie]

I relied on Oinks for a long time but it may have a few issues these days. Warseeker suggested Matrix Eater, which is a viable solution - requires a little learning. In laws visiting, I don't have time to do any real work till ~1 week.

If you guys don't manage to figure out something with Oinks or how to use Matrix Eater to suit your purpose I'll be happy to help then. Sry for wait hope your holidays were great, if you celebrate

-edit1
Could also contact Retera directly, he appears to still be active.

I had the same issue just a few weeks ago, seems to be a common Windows10 problem....

If you did not solve the problem yet, you may want to try this:

1. Download the missing COMDLG32.OCX file somewhere and copy it into your Windows/System32 folder. (I recommend to download it from a site you trust. Those system files from fileshare sites often contain harmful software)
2. Install/register the file manually. Therefore open your windows start menu and search for "cmd.exe". After you run cmd.exe (execute as administrator!) the Windows Command Line should show up.
3. Now Enter the command "regsvr32 comdlg32.ocx" or "regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\comdlg32.ocx" and execute this command. If done properly your OCX-file depending software should work now.
(If your system accepts the command, but the software still does not work, I would restart the computer and check again if you can run the software.)

If it still does not work or you receive error messages when executing the command just google the problem or search on Youtube. There are several instructions on how to fix that issue.

!!! NOTE !!!

>>> This only works for Win32 based systems. The procedure for Win64, etc. looks a bit different.
>>> Make sure the command is spelled correctly (spaces, punctuation, etc.)! I had several attempts before I solved it. Furthermore there seem to be various possible commands for the file registration.

It worked for me (Windows 10, 32bit) and all the Oinkerwinkle's tools run properly now.

Hope this helps!

 

[Cake is a Lie]

Wow,glad that I have a 32-bit system. Anyway thanks a lot. It really works!

Hello I believe program doesnt work because I transfer a animation and after in war3modeleditor the animation doesn't work.

Do the models share bone structure?
Do the model you have transferred the animation TO have overlapping animations?

Hello I want put animation birth on demongate. I have tried with several options from this foro: Succorbenoth and Demonish Bulwark / Bastion / Citadel
besides appears with black screen behind building

 

[Solu9]

I'm not aware if buildings have bones. If they do, both the model you transfer from and the one you transfer to, must share bone structure. Since one of the models is a model from the game and the other is custom made you cannot ensure they share that bone structure, again assuming buildings have bones at all.
If they don't have bones then the animation is probably merely mesh animation and then you can be sure the animation transfer won't work, and to be honest, I don't think you can make it work at all.

If it's a simple death (disappearing into the ground or the like) animation then you are probably better off just doing one from scratch. Such an "animation" is really easy to create when it's just mesh positioning.

In these videos a youtuber called arconte saurio was able to transfer animation birth Demonish Bulwark / Bastion / Citadel to buildings. How can he do it?

I don't know. This thread is not for animation questions. Ask in the animation section instead. I'm sure people can help you out there.

 

[Peach Schnapps]

I have the same problem.

Same

 

[Warseeker]

Same

Use Matrix Eater 3D Model Editor instead like I've mentioned before. It does the exact same thing as this tool.

ayyyyy thanks man you rock!

Do you think you could update this tool so it could work with SC2 files? (.m3, .m3a)

I am not the author of the tool, nor do I know the inner workings of it. I merely got the permission to upload it here.
Regarding updates and/or feature implementation requests, I refer you to the author, Oinkerwinkle. However I fear he has been mia for a long time now.

I also assume that there are better tools around now, than when this tool was uploaded. Merely a hunch of mine since I must confess I don't have the finger on the pulse regarding new tools that have been, or are being, developed for Warcraft 3.

Sorry I cannot be of any use in this matter.

 

[RanchBurner]

WC3's animation files are .anim, right? Maybe I'll Bing/Google search for an animation file converter. If they exist...
