MiniMage: As the model has already been available for years but has never been officially uploaded, I'd see that this model gets some changes before approval. Misha suggested animations. It's a lovely idea and increases the usefulness of the model. Work on this.

MiniMage: Alright. I'm approving this.

Looks nice! very usefull idd

Yet another extraction. I really don't see how these models can be approved when they are available to anyone in the first place.
It's some nice stairs, true.
But it just seems redundant to upload them.

 

[Splub]

Very useful! Not everyone knows how to extract models so I greatly appreciate this!

 

[kellym0]

I will have to agree with Splub, I too didn't know how to extract models like this my self, and such effort is appreciated by my self any ways. as for this model, being my maps sunken ruins, this is perfect.

 

[Vinz]

Useful.

 

[Marshmalo]

This is great! If it saves some1 the time to extract them I don't see how this is a waste and vote for this to be approved.

 

[Forsaken]

It's really useful, good work!

 

[JesusHipster]

Good one.

 

[MiniMage]

It's a little lacking, I'll test it tomorow or the day after that and moderate it.
Chances are that I wont give it more than lacking for rating, because of the simple nature of the rip.

It might get approved though.

Rating? Why the hell do moderators need to rate a Blizzard's model? They never did that. Last time I heard Blizzard models had no rating on other models, but you may do. :/

The Ultimate Terraining Map already has this exact stairs model, but I think this should be approved because, as Splub said, not everyone that visit this site know how to extract models from archives.

 

[MiniMage]

Oh? so the resource is available already? ;I
Hmm.

Well, it is not entirely even in the model section. There is a possibility that someone ripped it earlier than me, but I uploaded it official-y first.

 

[Misha]

perhaps you need to give the model some new functionality, perhaps birth/death animations of the destructible models? alternate 'destroyed' animations? would make it a lot more useful to the map makers

I don't think so, I want this to remain pure-Blizzard doodad. I also can't animate...

 

[Misha]

You will have to, that is an order more functionality is always good for a model that has already been extracted once.. otherwise this might not be approvable..

and as for animating, just find a bridge destructible or such and use mdlvis to paste/rig the stairs mesh to the bones. then delete the bridge geosets.
retera's 'matrix eater' is also useful in just transferring/combining meshes and textures to models. but works with mdl format.

I won't animate it- I could also ask in the request forum for somebody to animate it?

Of course you can. Actually it would improve a lot if someone did so.
I'm fairly sure such a small edit request will be taken up by someone.

 

[Legal_Ease]

I can't believe you actually animated this. It's just a staircase after all. jk

I really like it. Could you do a version for a cave or human city?

The texture on this is fantastic too. Very high quality.
