THE BONES!! how can i find the bones!

[diosilva16]

guys, anyone can tell me how to know were the bones of the models reely are? cuse i've been trying to make attacheable armors and i have no way to kno where they attach, so i cant make them fit right.

so please! anyone who reads this and know how to do it, pleeze tell me, do your good deed for today

Open the model in a modeling program and look for them of corse

Or just go blindly guess and check

 

[diosilva16]

all the programs i have are the oinkerwinkle tools, maybe opening the mdls as a text file, but i cant understand nothing of all those numbers

also, i tryed to look blindly for them as u justsaid... it didnt went that good...well, pretty bad, actwaly

uh...let me make it into a mini tutorial...with a few definitions

MDX:a model made up of one or more geosets or meshes...
MDL:a model converted in a readable text format but editable in oinkerwinkles tools

ok for an example we will use...eh...bandit and we want to attach in his left hand..ok...
1.we open up wc3viewer..
2.extract and convert to mdl the bandit...
3.open vertex modifier...remove the waepon or whatever we want gone and then IMPORTANT PART in bold
4.we see some co ordinates(random numbers to you i guess) in x y z boxes... where you want the thing to be attached note the cordinates...(on paper..or if good memorizer in head)
5.open up wordpad/notepad
6.cntrl f and type bone(whatever bone you want it to be attached
7.you will see oject id and all that stuff...get the cordinates and see how they are related to that then paste over them to have that as the bone...
8.convert to mdx,try out....
