[Doom ArchDemon]

what if i dont have war3patch.mpq??
is it possible to use
?????????'''

 

[Hail to the king]

Do someone know where to find another model editor, cuz i cant fix this one.

 

[Doom ArchDemon]

it does work on ROC
just dont put it in your War3 directory and it wont ask for patch mpq or war3x mpq....
then just go to MPQ Browser and open the war3 mpq as normally
it should work fine

 

[Doom ArchDemon]

oh and plz make a tutorial how to use this thing
noobs might find it too hard to use
(like i did lol)

 

[anilater]

Never seen this amount of morons in one thread.

"This application has failed to start because d3d9.dll was not found. Re-installing may fix this problem." This is what happens when I try to run the program. Any suggestions on what's wrong? I've re-downloaded this 4 times now in hopes something changed, yet nothing has.

PLEASE P.M. me or post back to tell me what's wrong or if you can give me one that you have that works.

same here, I don't get it.

 

[Tyrant]

I don't recall if I've stated this before, but this tool is awesome. Even if you have problems with it, figure out how to run this one, because you won't find any you like better.

 

[Morche]

it says Unable to open SplatData.txt what i should to do?

 

[HappyTauren]

THIS THREAD IS FILLED WITH MORONS, PEOPLE WHO CAN'T READ. I mean seriously, the d9 question is solved X times already.

 

[Mulgrim]

READ THE THREAD FROM 1 POST TO LAST, THE SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN ANSWERED MANY TIMES ALREADY SOME EVEN ON THE SAME PAGE!!

[Tyrant]

<_< Here are some useful tips for you guys accumilated throughout this thread since the first time I checked it out back in God knows when.

NOTE: Make sure you have the latest TFT patch, this does not work with ROC and make sure you have the latest Direct X to avoid errors.

Common Errors:

"This application has failed to start because d3d9.dll was not found. Re-installing may fix this problem."

"Unable to retrieve Direct3D capibilities!"

"Unable to open war3patch"

A reinstallation of DirectX and a computer restart fixed the second problem. I believe having the latest version of DirectX and TFT should fix the first problem. Another solution to a common problem people overlook is presented by Needles:

Step 1. go to (where you installed game) COPY all of the seen MPQ files (e.g. = war3.mpq, war3Patch.mpq, war3x.mpq, war3xLocal.mpq)
(may take a few seconds)

Step 2. go to C:\\Program Files\(create [or go to] a Folder called Warcraft III" (IN THE C:\\Program Files\ DIRECTORY!!!)

Step 3.Now, Right Click and go to PASTE
... Waiting... Waiting... And...Your done!

Step 4.Now run WC3 MDL EDTR and it should work...
if not then continue

Step 5.(if needed) (now if it didint work i MIGHT be able to help you still) go to C:\\Program Files\ and Create a NEW FOLDER called "Blizzard entertainment" then CUT/DRAG "Warcraft III"

You'll have to copy these three files to wherever you downloaded the program. The files are the bulk of the game if I recall correctly, so it might take a little while.

Gronn's only post on the site explains how to get around a common 'blank screen' error. I personally have no idea what he's talking about, but here's for those who'd like to see his explanation:

And for those who get a blank screen: click &quot;windows&quot; and then &quot;MPQ Browser&quot; then &quot;file&quot; and &quot;war3.mpq&quot; to get your hands on Warcraft 3 models.

Similarly, OlloX3 said:

ehh everyone all needs War3Patch.mpq if yall dont have it doesnt work someone sends the patch to me and my works now

DarkRane's answer to Texture, which I figured out ages ago:

Each texture in warcraft 3 has it's path within mpq archives, which we can find out in <texture manager> of this model editor. So, we just paint our own texture, then import it into Warcraft 3 World Editor, then at <import manager> we should change the path of our texture to a path of the texture we want to substitute...

VectorxMan has another explanation for the oh-so-dreaded gray box which I 'know' is true.

And for everyone who says "its just a gray box, how do I import a model?", you also need warcraft 3 viewer in order to extract the .mdx file from blizzard models. Modeling takes multiple programs

I don't recall how I got mine to work, as it was over 2 years ago since I last used this program; however, I recall figuring many of the solutions above out to get it to work. It's not difficult. Stop complaining, please.

how do i change weapons or clothes colors???

 

[kikicamkd]

i cant open MPQ

 

[Leballe]

Its says i need a file called d3dx9_35 dll

Its says i need a file called d3dx9_35 dll

Read this link: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/1203345-post248.html. I have documented a couple of times, however some have trouble due to a outdated DirectX (not necessarily, but because it has been updated to that new version). Read it from there.

I have said this a couple of times, but good luck.

you can thank pha001 for the help.

I would agree, however they are learning. These things are easy to solve, but for that reason, so many questions have been asked. We should really make a FAQ for War3 Model Editor.

 

[Tilidion]

Maybe I'm too lazy to read through 20 some posts but I have read through a lot of them and didn't find a question or answer that I am looking for.
I can open models fine after using obj to mdx tool to convert my .3ds file to mdx. But after I use the save/save as function from war3 model editor v1.07 I can't open the mdx again. mdx error = "Expected a "UVAS" tag, got a "" tag!"
mdl error = "Something something expected "}" got """ or something like that... I didn't edit the text or anything outside of the editor.. any suggestions as to whats wrong?
edit: I tried to export arthas.mdx from the mpq browser and open it, save it, and open again and no error... maybe a problem with custom model/ obj-mdx converter?

 

[Mulgrim]

copy and paste the error here (ctrl + c) when the error message comes up

 

[kosei101]

where do go to open a model!!!!!!!!

 

[kosei101]

where do i go to open a model!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Tilidion]

Exact message for mdx "Expected a "UVAS" tag, got a "" tag!"
Exact message for mdl "Unable to load "C:\...\...\Model.mdl", expected "}", got " " in group "Geoset"!"
So missing code from the obj/3ds to mdx possibly?
I can open the model after the conversion and edit it and things but after I save it (I can still edit after I save it) and try to open it again I get one of the two messages above. I saved the arthas.mdx model from the mpq and tried to open it and it works fine so probably the converter.

EDIT: using mdlx converter to change the mdx to mdl before saving it in model editor fixes the problem.. little inconvenient but its all good

 

[xp3r009]

Open up War3 Model Editor, then to File > Open. You can open either a MDL or MDX model there, and should work overall.

 

[Mulgrim]

i have to stop cheching this thread...

That nearly applies to me, most of the posts are obvious, not to mention that you should find it first before you post here.

You should really buy your own game of Warcraft III, but if you want to fix it without the need (which you should get your own), get a registry fixer from here:

www.engamers.com/.../download-warcraft-iii-fixer-w3fixer/

Download the program, and fix it through repairing the registry. Simple.

 

[FireUndead]

Hey pha0001 i have the same problem but i have buyed my warcraft i can start it anyway how can that be

 

[light bolt30]

where do i learn to use this tool??

I am not sure, probably you have reinstalled your OS which may have erased the registry, or some other reason that the registry keys for Warcraft III got lost; these are needed so that War3 Model Editor can load them through MPQ and its in-game textures as such.

Repair the registry here with this program, I said it before: http://www.engamers.com/.../download...fixer-w3fixer/
Get it there.

where do i learn to use this tool??

Ask around you or as such, otherwise in general, in the main-strip of War3 Model Editor, Help > Help; you can get some information from there.

[Sharpshoot3r]

Yes this problem with d3d9.dll happened to me on other games. There are two solutions to solve it:
---------
SOLUTION 1 :- Download the missing file (d3d9.dll) from Google and place it where you copied your War3 Model Viewer ;
SOLUTION 2 :- Uninstall Your current DirectX (if you have one installed on your PC), then download DirectX 9.3 or 10 from Google and Update it, just to make sure.
This Worked for me. Hope this helped.

Hi, I have done both the solutions that Sharpshoot3r has listed.
but another problem has occurred!
it says

"The procedure entry point MakeCriticalSectionGlobal could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll."
