Warcraft III Reforged Art Tools for 3D Studio Max (Binary)

Hi @Taylor Mouse, I am trying to export a model using your tool and I am running into the error pictured below:

BooleanError.PNG


I have reinstalled the plugin, reinstalled 3Ds Max, and generally exhausted all of my limited capabilities and the knowledge I could glean from google searches trying to fix this issue. Can you help me? I used to be able to run your plugin but the new release, while much improved and I can tell superior to the previous iteration, has absolutely stopped me from progressing. Please help! I'm attaching my Max file and textures below, hopefully that helps. You can find me on Retera's discord if you would like to discuss in that forum or shoot me a DM if you prefer. I am also on the hive regularly.

Hey, this is in the tools section now! Will we finally end Retera's Reign of Terror when people start to realize that certain parts of the Retera Model Studio UI was directly inspired by the old 2000's War3ArtTools stuff, and that stuff was a 3ds max plugin?

(I will probably always keep using my code because of the sunk cost fallacy and that kind of thing, but it's fun to joke about this because I know a lot of people wish that my, uhh, "tech support" (or lack thereof), was better funded, haha)

TO be honest, I am a little jealous of the tool you made :p
but, since I've been doing max since the DOS version ( yes I am that old ) I never abandoned it

And yeah, I did to use the old art tools as a reference ( mixed with what SC2 Art Tools gives you )

I'm having issues getting textures to load. I've unpacked the CASC somewhere and named the toplevel folder "Assets", yet it does not load in any textures. The shared textures path is "C:\Users\User\Desktop\WC3 1.32 CASC\Assets\textures\".

Hi MrBrown,

The Reforged model format was updated one month ago in the new patch that also added Ladder to the Reforged. Because all models in the game are now in a different format, the 3dx max tool will need a software change to open models from the new version of Reforged. @Taylor Mouse
