[Import] Undead Build Animation

[Xlainvous]

I've seen some cool looking Undead Build animations, and I would like to use them, but I cannot figure out where to import the file to in order for it to work. Can anyone help me out please?

 

[mogulkhan1Axe]

what file to be precise?

 

[A Void]

Here: "SharedModels\UBirth.mdx" without quotes.

I know how to import .blp and .w3x files, but in the interface, I cant seem to find where to find the undead build animation file.

Download the model, import it using "Import Manager" (F12) located in the World Editor. Set the correct path, in this case if you want to replace undead birth - "SharedModels\UBirth.mdx" without quotes. Save the map (CTRL+S), done!

I understand that, and I know what i'm looking for, but the thing is I cant find
(undead birth - SharedModels\UBirth.mdx) in the import manager

*facepalm* please read a tutorial.

A Void, you're not being very helpful..... I have imported hundreds of models, so I know how to import models. I've also imported icons, and I know how to make those show up in game. The thing I cannot find is where to place the animation for the Undead animation. I've gone through the "Game Interface" I don't know how many times, but the Undead birth file is not on the list.

Animation for the undead animation? I am very confused now..

Import the model, replace the war3imported\bla bla bla.mdx with this:
SharedModels\UBirth.mdx

It will OVERRIDE the default model. Just like when importing skins to the game, they override the default skins.

I already told him that. You just repeated it. I don't understand what is wrong with people these days.

Just trying to help the guy. Not steal some credit of sorts.

@Xlainvous

I am having a hard time with this, I am not understanding what im missing, the spot for the undead birth animation is not on the game interface list. Thats why it seems like im being stubborn, or not listening. what is the prefix of the main file (ex. Icon, Model, Image......), that would help me narrow it down

1. Import your model

2. Double click it. Set the path to SharedModels\UBirth.mdx

3. Press enter. That's it!

 

[Xlainvous]

Ok, let me rephrase what im trying to say. After I import the file, where do I place it to get it to show up in-game?

 

[LordDz]

You do the above, then you build an undead building. You don't set it in game interface like when you replace a weapon icon, the model will override the default model.

Just like a skin does.

Like they said, you don't have to set it anywhere after naming it. It's automatic. Have you tested?

 

[Xlainvous]

Ok, but testing is easier said than done. My game hates to open, it always tells me that my DirectX is out of date, and that I need a disc when my game is a digital download. But again, thanks

So... you can't open your game? You can't update your drivers and software? What kind of a patch are you using? Testing is easier than saying it I'm afraid, you got it wrong.

 

[Heinvers]

Your PC must hate you really hard you know.

If you can't play the game then why would you.. mod it? And ask for help?

 

[Xlainvous]

I can play the game, sometimes. But whenever I import something big, the game doesn't like to open up, and tells me my DirectX is out of date, even though it require v.8 and I have v.11, and with it requiring a disc. And yes I have asked for help, and nothing worked.

As I've said a computer can't do this by himself, it must be something you are doing/did. You should update Windows by enabling Windows Updates, if this fails- contact Microsoft otherwise Re-install System. It is also very important that you have some sort of Anti-Virus tool.

 

[Xlainvous]

I've done both and I have Vipre internet security as my antivirus. It's not me, the game just doesn't like to work most of the time.
