Portraits?

[rage321]

Ok, so there are numerous models I have imported that have portraits also, but for some reason the portrait doe snot show up. How do I make it work?

 

[Serpent]

in the object editor, select the unit with a new model you want, then search for the category: Art-Icon.Click on it and select import, then select an imported icon of your choice from the drop down list.

um...not icons. The portrait that appears in game when you select the unit.

Do you mean portraits or icons? Serpent just told you about icons, ask in modelling about portraits I would say.

WHATS THE DIFFERENCE? (Just so you know)

Icons are the 2d art shown in the command bar at the bottom left hand corner of the game. They normally come in a disbtn for too, to allow players to know when they can not build that unit, or use that skill.

Portraits are part of a model that is shown left of all its stats. This is normally animated to show the unit talking and is mch more detailed sometimes.

So what do you mean?

He means the one that appears next to the minimap when u select a unit. The portrait, as it is called on the model. The 2d icons are the illustrations i think.

Anyway... go to Import Manager and set the custom path of the portrait empty. If it doesnt work, u must delete just the ........./<modelname>. The dots u must delete............. i confused u eh ? XD i was meant to CONFUSE !!!!

Just for a little clarification - Model files (.mdx or .mdl) must always have their import paths changed to just the filename. To do this, double click on the field, and click the little box that says Custom Filepath. Then delete everything (including the \) before the actual name of the file (should look like YourModel.mdx).

Hope this helped clear some stuff up. GL.

if the model is called Car.mdx then its portrait model must be named "portrait_car.mdx

Models dont need their paths changed.

if the model is called Car.mdx then its portrait model must be named "portrait_car.mdx

Models dont need their paths changed.

Actually, it would be portrait_Car.mdx - case sensitive.

Some custom models don't have portraits, which is likely the problem here.

Actually, you're all wrong -- it's Car_Portrait.mdx
