remove heavy rumbling noise from walking unit

[Greenwhy]

Many large units have a rumbling noise associated with them when they walk. It seems that this noise is attached to the model? how can I remove it?

Ah, it's the sound movement. That would be easy to solve out (but hoping I got your problem understood correctly). Go to the Object Editor then go to your unit then find Sound - Movement, set it to None.

That is only partially true.

It is true you can remove the movement sounds of certain units via object editor. (eg. the clopping of horse hooves for mounted units)

However the deep rumbling from steps of various "large" units is tied to model itself and has to be removed by model editing.

The solution all depends on the exact unit model the OP has a problem with.

Magos Model Editor would be best because all you have to do is open magos then the model then node manager and then find the sound attachment.

From the Ogre model.

What do I do once I launch Magos?

Do I need to somehow extract the model file first?

If it is a Warcraft 3 default model then yes you need to extract then when finished re-import it into your map once you remove the sound file from the node list.

Window --> Node Manager --> Find the objects in the list that look like a camera then figure out which is a sound then simply delete it.

Actually I didn't realise I have a problem. The portrait model is now missing. how do I fix this?

EDIT:
I did manage to fix this as well. sorry for the double post

I opened the Ogre_portrait.mdx file and exported it. Saved it as OgreNoFootsteps_portrait.mdx (to go with the ogre model of OgreNoFootsteps.mdx) and imported the portrait into WE.

I never liked or found a use for those files which required more space, just add a camera to the model with magos.
