Warshape Source Code Hunt

[DesKaladA]

Ok i'm looking for the souce code to WarShape by Oinkerwinkle. i like the tool and i am a really good java programer (ok i'm good with UI and such not wirting file import scripts thats why i need the source). I use it and i have a few ideas on how to improve it but since its discontuined Oinkerwinkle wont add them. i jsut need the source code and i bet i can update it my self to give it the fetures it needs to become a good war3 tool.

Many thanks DeskK

Try private messaging the author of it, since we can hardly pull the source for it out of a hat can we. No one but the orignal author can provide you with the source, so asking for it is probably the best idea.

Is Oink even active anymore?

 

[Guessed]

If you want to make a new modeling tool in Java I've already sort of started. It is a huge task to read/write the entire MDX and MDL formats, so having another person working on it would be good.

http://peter.d.reid.googlepages.com/WarSpy.html <-- some of the MDX reading code in action. (It is a 3d footman rendered in Java. Right click for options.)

 

[DesKaladA]

hm... ok
i'll look at it gessed

also i dont thik orwink has a account on the site

Update: Guessed That looks good send me the source and lets see where it gosse form there

now rember i'm a lot better at UI's, also i have a webhositng server if you wnat to work with me i can get a website set up

 

[Guessed]

I sent you the source. Do you have MSN on something? Some things will probably need explaining.

 

[Jacek]

oinkerwinkle retired some time before the `new` wc3c

 

[DesKaladA]

No i dont

the best way to contact me is PMs
or the hive workshop chat room

well russians are kinda way ahead of the more "english speaking" community

in the site of which many knows but cannot speak(or link to) because of certain illegal rips, they have some tool which is kinda a mixture of warshape and vertex modifier and a lot of other shizzle, the only drawback is its in russian

ps:
sorry for offtopic

 

[Mechanical Man]

You probably mean Mdlvis.

 

[DesKaladA]

You probably mean Mdlvis.

could you plese explain

 

[wugiboy]

yeh that mdlvis shizzle thing

 

[Jacek]

I don't see what's wrong with linking to other warcraft 3 site

http://xgm.ru/

 

[donut3.5]

Because it has a lot of rips from WoW and stolen models (like from General Frank) both of which we do not support.

[Jacek]

I'm just giving a link to a site about warcraft 3 modding, I don't link to models

 

[DesKaladA]

Also i found the tool(mdlvis) source and removed .m2 importing
i should have it translated by Friday

 

[Jacek]

lol dude

have you asked permission from original authors to translate mdlvis AND more importantly remove one of its main features?

 

[Mechanical Man]

Hmm, I wonder how good is going to be your translation. I hope that your spelling will be fixed there.

And is posting xgm links are against the rules? If I remember correctly, it does not contain any pornographic, nazi, hateful and illegal stuff. Just because they took some model of the people, which are actually moderators here, this does not mean it is heretic to post them. If they would have stolen some models from regular users, I guess that nothing would happen.

 

[DesKaladA]

lol dude

have you asked permission from original authors to translate mdlvis AND more importantly remove one of its main features?

1. Yes i have there permission (OSM licencing)
   No i dnd't take it out

 

[Jacek]

and removed .m2 importing

you did

anyway this tool is used only for wow model conversion, so ppl won't use your version anyway

 

[Guessed]

Is that program the thing that wugiboy described as a "mixture of warshape and vertex modifier and a lot of other shizzle"? It seems very limited.

 

[Mechanical Man]

Dunno, but they made quite nice animations for their models at xgm

 

[Guessed]

Do you have a reason to think that they used that program? I could not find any way to animate, except apparently it can make existing animations linear to save space.

 

[DesKaladA]

ya mdlvis's anamation mone scuks same with UV

 

[Mechanical Man]

This is what told me rober artua.

 

[Dojo]

??? Did you finish the translation?
