[demonboy]

need help

where can i get w3xpatch.mpq ???plz help me

 

[Helion_Fire]

Hmm... Just wondering how to replace the MDX texture. For example, for the Jaina mdx model I imported my edited blp and removed the original one. But..didn't work. Any suggestions or even other programs to use?

 

[DarkRane]

Well, i solved problem with replacing textures this way:
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...
(sry for my english)

 

[Hades7.ger]

I've solved the problem already but thanks anyway. And btw, this website and the programs it has are quite useful (if you havn't already checked it out.)

Thanks again, but I want to ask: do you know a program that is simple but effective in adding, merging, and creating vertexes, creating faces, etc., whilst keeping the addition with the bone?

[monkeyboy]

i have no idea how to use this (i suck at modeling)

 

[fsster]

it doesnt work for me?? i have vista
need help

 

[VectorxMan]

Very nice program. I've been trying to learn how to model edit with so many programs for several months now. I open this and bam, 10 minutes later I'm completely changing the look of a crypt fiend. Thank you so much for making this.

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, and truly isn't that difficult if you follow the tutorials here on the hive. Go here for a list of modeling tutorials.

Help!

hey i have a problem... whenever i try to run it is has an error that says " unable to open " C:warcraftIII\war3patch.mpq"! make sure that warcraft 3 is installed and that the registry key "hkey_current_user\Blizzard entertainment\warcraft III\installpatch"exists" can some 1 help me fix it piz... i rly want to use this program

 

[Needles]

it says "unable to open war3patch"
what should i do now please help

it means you installed game to wrong directory... BUT, i do know how to fix it
HERES how you fix it
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"

 

[Verdun]

What can I say, I have the very same problem as qwq1234. And my position to this is about the same, too.

If anyone has an idea how to fight the horrible "hkey_current_user\Blizzard entertainment\warcraft III\installpatch"exists", would be nice.

 

[Discohydra]

Does This run on vista, or do i have to download it to my network drive and run the install on my XP, then run the actual program on the Vista OS?

 

[Diddly]

Error


A model was opened from wc3 and when "Save As" was clicked on it said
"Crobram Files\Warcraft III\Nerubian", unknown extention ""!
and it did not let me save *. If anyone knows how to fix it then please tell me *.

 

[Diddly]

Yay

It is ok restarting it worked *.

 

[Misha]

where can i get w3xpatch.mpq ???plz help me

Demonboy, the only way to get what you want is to install the original "WarCraft Reign of Chaos" on your PS It is a bit expensive, but then you can do wonders.

 

[Misha]

Does This run on vista, or do i have to download it to my network drive and run the install on my XP, then run the actual program on the Vista OS?

I'm not sure that this runs on Vista. What's wrong with the good ol' XP?

 

[Discohydra]

Well, I cant use my XP computer, My mom has kidnapped it! And so, Im left here with my Vista Laptop, doomed to never try modeling.

[come_n_getme]

when i open it, it says:

Unable to open "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\War3x.mpq"!
Make sure that Warcraft 3 is installed and that the registry key
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III\InstallPath* exists!

wuts that mean?

 

[Discohydra]

Solution

when i open it, it says:

Unable to open "C:\Program Files\Warcraft III\War3x.mpq"!
Make sure that Warcraft 3 is installed and that the registry key
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Blizzard Entertainment\Warcraft III\InstallPath* exists!

wuts that mean?

Those of you who have this problem, (Its known as a registry conflict.) Take a look at post #91 (Top of page 7) For the solution.

IT says that because the path that the HK_CU is referring to is broken (It cant find the files) So. You either have to edit the registries (Hard and painful) Or Recreate the path that the file is looking for (What the top of page 7 says)

Good luck with your problems.

 

[de_squall]

Nice software...I will try it more

 

[Misha]

Hmm... Just wondering how to replace the MDX texture. For example, for the Jaina mdx model I imported my edited blp and removed the original one. But..didn't work. Any suggestions or even other programs to use?

What are you really doing i wonder, isn't the prgrm using the MDL files? Yo gotta find the converter

 

[Misha]

Well, I cant use my XP computer, My mom has kidnapped it! And so, Im left here with my Vista Laptop, doomed to never try modeling.

Really, what's the problem with Vista 0_o? too many bugs. ("and they say Blizzard games have bugs") (CryptLord speech, my favorite)

Anyway, you gotta try to negotiate the hostage release. (your comp. from your mom)lol

PS, rep me please

 

[Navan]

Okay so after 5 hours of this crap I finally was able to install it and get it stop saying it cant open. But now there is a new error message! Something aboot Splat Data. WTF is splat data. I'll tell you what it is. Its designed so that when you open the Art tools the file goes SPLAT. Sorry for the crappy joke its aboot 2:30 AM where I live right now and I just watched that guy who does the 7 words you cant say act like 50 times on youtube along with many other skits.
But I digress.
I need help and I need help badly. I want to how to get this thing up and running by at least next week. So if you can, please E-Mail me at (i made this when i was six, don't laugh) [email protected] and plz dont spam me.
OR you could just be cool and reply to this comment. So ehlp me nao or I will go to your house and beat you with a stick.

 

[Navan]

I'm talking to you Needles. About the help part not the beating part. Unless your into that.

 

[Conny_bengtsson]

To all of those who can't change an downloaded model

I discovered after many MANY tries that it's almost impossible to do if it says "can't find Textures\blahblah.blp" but if you change the file format to mdl instead of mdx you may change so that it doesn't use a downloaded texture, but instead as example arthas' texture (Textures\Arthas) then you save. you may then convert it back to mdx and change it all you wich. Then when you are done do the whole prosses backwards make it mdl change the texture name back to the downloaded one and convert it to mdx. You should now have your own modified downloaded model.
This is just what I wanted to say cause I had a huge problem with this my self.

Thanks for this wonderful Utility btw.

[Tails Clock]

Okay here's the REAL way to fix that C:warcraftIII\war3patch.mpq hkey_current_user\Blizzard entertainment\warcraft III\installpatch error.
I tired all previously said methods that did no good at all. Then tried taking all the sutff out of the "War3ModelEditor" folder and putting it into the main War3 folder. It now works with grey screen and all. I also loaded a model I just downloaded to test it and yeah nothing is wrong at all.

 

[forzamoto]

Ok, this is awesome! Downloaded it two more times and it worked after that.

This not work for me but if you can find a way plz tell ^_^

 

[varsaigen]

Ok, I have loved this program for 6 months now and ONLY NOW do I run into a problem. I can't save or open mdl files. >< Which means i can't use the VertexModifier made by OikerWrinkle either. :/ They both have the same problem, so I was wondering if it was linked. Changing the file location doesn't do anything to help either.
