Some questions {replacing Blood Mage's orbs / insert a custom preview screen / ...}

[OmniBugger]

Can someone tell me how to replace/change/remove the orbs that are above the blood mages head?

How can I put a custom preview screen? like I don't want people to see the minimap.

And also if I edit a model the portrait will get screwed up. Anyway to fix that without having to use Model Editor?

1) The Blood Mage has an ability called "Sphere". You can edit Sphere's Art - Missile Art.

2) Me be URL!

3) I am not the guy you're looking for, maybe you should ask an experienced modeler.

Make sure you import the model with the old model's path so it will use the old model's portrait

For example if you have modified the blood mage model, you must import it with the path: "Units\Human\HeroBloodElf\HeroBloodElf.mdx" for it to use the existing portrait.
However this will replace the original blood mage model.
If you wish to use both the original model and the modified one, you must import a new portrait model with the path <your modified model path>_Portrait.mdx

For example
Hero: "war3mapImported\HeroBloodElf.mdx"
Portrait: "war3mapImported\HeroBloodElf_Portrait.mdx"

Remove the Sphere ability from the Blood Mage in Object Editor.

You can either go to map properties and uncheck the show map preview box or you can import a custom map preview. More info on this[url] tutorial (find the part about minimaps).

How did you edit him? If you edited him with the Model Editor, you have to fix the portrait with the Model Editor too, then you need to import the portrait along with the model in your map.

Although, sometimes importing the portrait doesn't work. <acronym title="As far as I know">Afaik</acronym>, that's completely unpredictable.

EDIT: Yaaay, late again.... :|
