Simple Animation Duplicate Request

[Gopinich]

I simply wanted to give Forgotten One Tentacle a Burrowed form, so I wanted to duplicate some animation:
Birth => Morph
Death => Morph Alternate
Death => Stand Alternate

Spoiler: I tried

I tried manually copying the animation with Magos's Model Editor, but the new animations only works in the Model Editor preview and doesn't work in WE or in game.

I tried Oinkerwinkle's Animation Transfer but it removes all animations when I transfer all, and corrupts the model when I transfer one.

I tried MatrixEater, but the Transfer, Done and Advanced buttons do nothing.

I tried with both original MDX and converted MDL.

I tried.

I spent 2 hours trying and reading "tutorial", nothing worked. So I gave up and hoped someone could do that for me please.

Also I attached the original MDX ripped from WC3 for your convenience.

EDIT: Never mind, I managed to do it. Please close this thread.

I see that you managed to do it, but in case you run into this problem again you should know that it is often caused by incorrect internal order of animations; when that happens, you need to convert the model to MDL; open it in Notepad; find the list of sequences (near the beginning of the file) and arrange them according to their keyframes in ascending order; for example an animation that has an interval from 300 to 1300 should come before an animation that has an interval from 2900 to 4233; then just save the file and convert it back to MDX.

I tried MatrixEater, but the Transfer, Done and Advanced buttons do nothing.

I think duplicating animations with Matrix Eater is the easiest way, but if it doesn't work for you maybe you could try using one of the previous versions, which can be found in this thread.

Thanks for the tips. That explains a lot of the strange things I got while manually editing animation.

The older version is the one didn't work. The newer version worked.

Great to hear it worked! I am working on a new version of the Matrix Eater where you can select an animation and press the Duplicate button, but I did not publish it yet
