Random corpse

[Garfield1337]

I've transfered animations from 1 model to another using Oinkerwinkle Animation Transferer. The animations got transfered, but there's a problem: On some animations a corpse is standing near model and on ground.
So i've read this tutorial - http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...ms-fix-those-randomly-appearing-corpses-8930/
But got stuck at some parts.
I've seen which...Mesh-es need to be removed on those animations or whatever (in Warcraft 3 Viewer), but i don't know what next to do.
I've opened the model in Notepad++, found the Geosetanims with their ID matching Mesh number, but what else? (Yeah, i know the ID is -1 compared to mesh)
I first CnP'd Decay Flesh first Interval number and thought i need to type 1 where i find this number on Geosetanims, but i can't find the number there :/ (Also there's no Decay Bone animation )

EDIT: One more question, is it possible to apply a skin on a model, but keep the original in Warcraft?
What i've wanted is to import a Wc3's model with changed animations and give it a custom skin (from hive).

Yes, just move the skin on the same folder, then import to texture manager (war3 model editor), change the material, delete old texture, done. Remove war3imported when importing w/ texture.

Thanks, but what do you mean by 'change the material'? I've imported the skin to texture menager, but then what? If i delete the old texture, the model is black (In model editor).

Go to material manager, double-click on one material then double click on material XXXXXX again. Find material which got Texture ID 'None' set it to your texture.

Thanks! It worked

The problem with corpses still persists though :C

How about attaching the model here? I might could help you.

Uploaded to pastebin because of skin. Would be very thankful if you can help
If you open the model in model editor, you'll see a corpse appearing in animations when it shouldn't.

Wait, how about converting it to .mdx first? My phone couldn't dl .mdls XD.

 

[Garfield1337]

Oh, ok. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/pastebin.php?id=stk497
It was in mdl because of animation transfer.

Here.
I fixed the geoset animation, removed useless stuff and added a correct corpse for it.

Thanks!
Would you mind explaining how you did it? I might do few more animations transfers :S
If it's hard to explain, don't bother.

Well, I just took all the animation frames and looked at which frame which geoset need to appear.
Then I simply applied that with geoset animations.

Where do i find those animation frames, how to see at which frame which geoset should appear and how do i apply it with geoset animations?

 

[General Frank]

Well, open the mdl in notepad and you the the animations at the beginning of the model.

 

[Garfield1337]

I'm sorry for so many questions.
I found the animations, but what are the frames here? Extent, Interval or BoundsRadius?
And

how to see at which frame which geoset should appear and how do i apply it with geoset animations?

Whoops, I forgot a lot. I should not play and try to reply.

The first and last frame of the animation is between the fancy brackets.
This tutorial might help you on the 2nd question.

I've managed to remove the uneeded part on your model in the tutorial, but i'm unable to do the same on another model :/
How do i set in which animations should the corpse appear and in which not
Or do i just assign an animation for the corpse so it's played on decay corpse animation (there's no decay bone anim on the model i use), if so, how do i set in which animation it appears?
And how do i remove the pickaxe from all animations? By just deleting it's geoset?

Also your tutorial is a bit misleading, at one point you say to click ctrl+right click instead of left and you say to close Geoset Manager even though you need it to get Geoset ID later :/

For example, the animation start at 4000 and ends at 5000th frame. Open geoset animation manager, make a new one, reference the corpse's geoset and change the visibility.
Because 1 is visible and 0 is not, then add this lines: 4000: 0
5000: 0
That means on frame 4000 till 5000 the geoset won't get visible.

 

[Garfield1337]

Would removing the corpse geoset and all geoset animations that reference it be good?
I removed them and it looks good, but i'm not sure if that's the proper method.

EDIT: I just did it and it seems to work properly, doesn't crash ingame or anything.
