[Cryze666]

Try running the program as administrator or update your windows drivers.

 

[Cryze666]

tried running as admin, same result
idl what driver to update, tried to check for updates but everything is fine too :/

under win 7 the tool worked fine for me ..

 

[pyf]

it says that d3dx9_35.dll could not be found is there any fix for it? (running win 10)

You need to install the DirectX 9.0c Runtime for XP / Server 2003. Some of its files (including d3dx9_35.dll) are not included in Windows Vista/7/8.x/10.

The easiest way to do so is to download and run the DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer:
Download DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer from Official Microsoft Download Center


This is what I have already written in this post on page 50 of this thread.

thanks that helped!
sorry to have you double post it, i did only read the last 2 pages to look for recent posts.

 

[pyf]

You're welcome.

Is the (0xc000007b) error still a thing now?

 

[Mechanic]

Sigh. I have been trying to figure out how to fix this. I couldn't find anything in this post that related to my problem I am having. I haven't work on my models for a long while, and until WC3 finally updated new version, and then I came back to play WC3 again, and decided to work on my models again, and after WC3 updated new version, my model editor is not working properly now. I don't know what I am missing. The problem is this black thing. Also, I am trying to open a Knight human model mdx from WC3 to edit a Knight. But, there's no Knight found in the list. When I open anything in this folder, it popped and says error. It couldn't load the mdx model. What the heck happened to this model editor? Looks like I don't have War3.mpq and War3x.mpq in my model editor folder anymore. I guess that is the problem? Where can I get them back from WC3? I guess I get old copy of WC3 files from WC3 CD key downloading on computer without online preventing from 1.30 version trying to remove MPQ files itself?

Try this: Magos' War3 Model Editor - WC3 Modding Information Center

 

[Mechanic]

Yeah. I just figured it out, but now I am working on how to get it from old WC3 files, because my WC3 is updated to 1.30 version and itself has been removed MPQ files I think. I guess I have to download from old WC3 CD key I have it in my closest on computer without online preventing from having 1.30 version that trying to remove MPQ files? So I can find war3.mpq and war3x.mpq from old WC3 files?

 

[Deolrin]

Or just get them from someone who has them, yeah.

 

[BrothForMyPeople]

This program was always serving me very well. But, on my new computer, it's manifesting the error about splatdata.txt and doesn't work. After after trial and failure method I was able to run this program, but then again, it came out I can't open any file.
I had to download another program, it is working and seems better (but it's much more newer, so this is understandable).


My rating is 3/5. If not about the matter sometimes people have issue running it, it would be probably 5/5.

 

[ZweepingBlade]

When I open war3.mpq it doesn't show anything. Please help me.

 

[cleavinghammer]

Check if the filters are blocking every file from showing up.

I have, it doesn't work.

 

[Antinous]

Did you try to select the MPQ manually ?
In the MPQ Browser : File > « Open MPQ Archive » and find your MPQ.
If that doesn't work/you already tried, is your MPQ legit ? (If you downloaded one that you found on the internet because you didn't save your MPQs after updating War3, it might be corrupted)

I've tried that, and yes I have the real Warcraft 3. I don't know what is happening.

Have you tried using a different MPQ editor to see if it has the same problem? Otherwise, make sure that neither Worldedit or Warcraft III are running in the background before opening the MPQ.

5/5 EDITOR CUT!

 

[Tamplier]

any plans for adaptation to Reforged?

 

[AronNecroman27]

hey, i can use it fine. BUT, why does my work won't save? it said unable to save, unknown extension ""

 

[Antinous]

When using « Save as » you have to manually write the extension of the file manually (.mdx or .mdl).

 

[Mechanic]

Does this War3 Model Editor works with Reforged?

@(Battleships) Speed: based on Tamplier777's post (which is three entries above yours), please guess what the answer to your question may be.

 

[Mechanic]

pyf Okay. Well, for War3.mpq... it still from old WC3. I was wondering where can I find new War3.mpq for Reforged? I have CascViewer. It just that I cannot find "War3.mpq" for Reforged.

 

[Antinous]

Because War3 doesn't use MPQ anymore. With CascView : Game Storage > Select Warcraft III
If you want to use War3 Model Editor, you'll have to find the MPQs online.

 

[pyf]

Because War3 doesn't use MPQ anymore. [...]

@(Battleships) Speed: ... for the record, since August 2018 and the release of v1.30.0

 

[MageMarauder]

I built all my portraits with it. Great tool! However, the cameras are a bit hard to work with since you can't view what they will look like in-game prior to importing them and running them on your map. Still 5/5.

 

[Meatsausage]

Great work on this editor! Finally i was able to make my own loadingscreen 5/5*
Thanks alot, keep up the good work!

Cheers

I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, please help...

I had tried (one by one and all of them at once):

• Run as administrator
• Run in compatibility mode: Windows XP Service Pack 3
• Disabling visual themes
• Disabling desktop compositions
• Disabled scaling on high DPI settings

I'm having this error that says "The code execution cannot proceed because d3dx9_35.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem", yet when I reinstalled it this message still pops up, can anyone help? I'm using a windows 10

 

[Fingolfin]

Whenever a DLL is missing, you can always google the name of that DLL and see if you can download it somewhere. In this case it is DirectX 9 drivers. When you find it, try putting it in the same folder as the program and run.

I downloaded the d3dx9_35.dll but this time it tells me that "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)", any idea what it means?

 

[Fingolfin]

Sounds like a generic error. One thing i know you need though is to have the war3.mpq and war3x.mpq files in your warcraft installation folder for this program to run. Blizzard did away with MPQ in favour of CASC in an earlier update, and that kinda broke compatibility with this tool unless you can find these files in an old install.

I'm still having the same error after I got the mpq files

 

[cleavinghammer]

^ I had the same thing the other day, apparently I'd gotten the 64-bit version of the dll instead of 32. Try getting the 32 version and putting it in the same folder as Magos.

It worked! Thanks!

 

[Armadillo]

Hey One problem I downloaded the .DLL file but the application failed to run... Please PM me if theres something to download or do again!

 

[cleavinghammer]

If a (0xc000007b) error, try using the other (64 or 32-bit) version of the dll.

I have been using this tool for quite a while. Very light and useful!

It is depressing how history repeats itself from year to year...

 

[Kyrbi0]

Perhaps this should be pinned to the top, or appended to the tool description by some @moderator

 

[pyf]

... or perhaps people viewing this thread should type "d3dx9_35.dll" (without the quotes) or anything similar in our Search feature, click the box labelled "Search this thread only", and then hit that big green "Search / Find now" button.

 

[Kyrbi0]

In lieu of the former, sure.

People should take the habit of doing it always imho. Else, what would our Search feature be for?

 

[Kyrbi0]

Well, I agree to an extent. But to play devil's advocate: why not obviate the use of even the simplest tool by even *more* simply highlighting an existing answer? (given it's so easy to do)

 

[pyf]

Because who would even care to read it?

Here are the search results when one types 'd3dx9_35' for this thread
Search Results for Query: d3dx9_35 | HIVE

... and here are the ones for '0xc000007b':
Search Results for Query: 0xc000007b | HIVE
... which ofc should never happen, unless one copies directly the wrong dlls from somewhere

I'm not sure what you mean. AFAIK people always read the first post and/or page (even if only to make sure the question they're asking (i.e. the reason they came to that thread in the first place) is being asked/answered). So a Pinned post of an edited first post would, I imagine, be read all the time.

 

[pyf]

I *very* seriously doubt it.

Maybe you will want to read the 55 pages of this thread, and see how many times the same questions have already been answered over and over again since 2006/2007?

 

[Kyrbi0]

All I'm saying is, if a moderator were to edit the resource & append a short explanation & link to the proper info on fixing that problem (especially right at the top), I think most people would see that & have their question answered.

And those that *didn't* could simply be redirected to the first post, rather than having to copy/paste the explanation *all over again*.

Here's another angle: what do we lose?? I've pointed out the ways in which we gain (even if they are arguably marginal). What possible harm is there in doing so?
