this model is just amazing. I think you have to have the author's permission to upload this.?

This model is from year 2007 (or even earlier), I believe the author no longer does Wc3 modding/modeling and I couldn't find anyway of contacting him. I wanted to share his masterpiece so everyone can use it.

Hey Krakenn99,

I totally agree with you, as I always think that sharing is better for everyone.
I just wanted to point out that this is usually required on the hive. I think, maybe if you include the option in your description that you will delete this, if the author contacts you to do so and that you tried to contact him but it was not possible, I would say, then this is clear, that is only meant to do good and not meant to be stolen.

You're right, I'll inlude that in the desc. asap.

Model is a unique mesh with unique animations and unique texture. Its design is similar, but different from SC2 Viking. Specifically the shoulder missile launchers are meant to have only 5 tubes but in this model they have 6. The team colour positioning is also inaccurate.

The proposed age and these inaccuracies point towards the model being hand made during/before StarCraft II Wings of Liberty alpha. It certainly is not a port from StarCraft II.

No it is not, that makes the model even more amazing. It was made when Starcraft2 beta was up I think but I am not sure.

Well, the user is inactive indeed, but what makes it easier is that he has an account here at THW. So, I'll set him as the author, so he's able to whatever he thinks is best with it, and please, contact him immediately, via PM, if you didn't, about this issue. He might be notified in his e-mail or something. (Sometimes we see a user is inactive and we don't even try contact) - and the model itself is pretty awesome indeed. Approved.

Okay done. I told him that his recource is submited and if he wants he can delete it. I only wanted to share it because the model is just amazingly awesome

Great job! This was one of my favorite units.

IMHO, is absurd to create Starcraft's models for Warcraft.
Anyway, is a good job.

Why would it be absurd? They're useful for space type maps!

Cerseiriously??? I thought they're useful for Lord of the Rings-type maps!!!
Damn, my whole life has been a lie!

Please I need help to get this model working but it still doesn't show it model

Followed the automatically generated import instructions?

 

[Omera]

Like I said the problem is the model itself. Even though I import it, it still don't work

 

[Dr Super Good]

You sure it is the model and not the textures? Since the time this model was released Blizzard changed the BLP loading code so that some textures that were incorrect but used to work now cause a model to fail to load.

Specifically if the texture is JPEG content, is declared as having mipmaps but does not have a full set of valid JPEG mipmap files. The texture will fail to load and the model that used it will also fail to load.

Masterpiece.

Omera, I got it to work!

Just remove the "war3mapImported\" from the "dan.blp" and "weijin.blp" paths.
