World Editor Problems...

[BizzyBoo69]

I need help with something really bad. I am going by these instructions on this page to put this model in my map.
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models.php?id=la4808&p=tutorial_import

I ran into this part where I have to import the file BlackhandRaider_Portrait.mdx into the Art Model File - Portrait, which looks like this.

On my World Editor I don't have Art Model File - Portrait. I only have Art Model File and Art Model File - Extra Versions. Not only that, but when I put the paths in a certain way my model has a 3-D red body with the helmet but no face. Can someone please give me some information on what I'm doing wrong?

Why is my model looking like this??? I went by the guidelines on how to import this model from this link...

Apparently when I put in the paths, I restart my Wc3 World Editor and it comes out to this-------------------------------------

did u open them on the viewer before importing? how did they look on there?

 

[BizzyBoo69]

ummm... I haven't seen them on the viewer, i'll check that. I put in the paths just like how it says on the guideline on how to import it.

 

[NoobMapmaker]

But if u use on WE it wont tell you if the paths are wrong or right, if u use viewer, it will display error if the paths aren't correct or skins are missing. Give it a try.

 

[BizzyBoo69]

How do I check to see if it's right in Wc3 viewer?

 

[NoobMapmaker]

If you can open then model and see it animate then the paths are correct, otherwise when u open it will display an error msg

 

[BizzyBoo69]

All animations seem correct... it must be the paths that have to be typed in maybe...?

 

[NoobMapmaker]

USe War3 Model editor to open your model then click on Windows>Textures manager then look at the paths, compare that to the ones you see in the Import window in WE see if they are correct. If not just change it yourself.

BTW you can get War3 Model Editor from the Tools section of this site i believe.

You don't need to change the model File to the portrait. All you need to do is import it in the IMPORT MANAGER>

 

[Dr Super Good]

Not a tutorial but WE question.

Moved to WE help zone.

 

[xXMephistoXx]

Give your model a "Portrait" Camera in Magos' Wc3 Model Editor adn import the model with the right texture paths and such.

Just import the model like you normally would without anything wierd. Set the custom paths to what they are, and set the model file to BlackhandRaider.mdx.

The reason it had all those extra steps was because the person running it was using a Mac OS.

Lol, silly Mac OS users.

 

[BizzyBoo69]

This is what the texture manager showed me...

Is that the path I have to type in?

Sigh...No one likes to do it old school anymore!

Read me BlackhandRaider
I made this up after seeing Urkdengi's Blackhand the Destroyer model. I believe Blackhand was a raider and so I geoset merged Urkdengi's model head to a raider body (hope it's alright with him I did this). I got a good skin from WC3Warehouse once again for this (they're down so I can't access who made it as I forgot the name, hope he doesn't mind). Paths are
Units\Orc\Wolfrider\BlackhandRaider.mdx
Units\Orc\Wolfrider\BlackhandRaider_Portrait.mdx
Units\Orc\Wolfrider\BlackhandRaider.blp
Units\Orc\Wolfrider\Blackhand.blp (for the helmet)

You guys seriously need to just take a gander at the model page sometimes >> It helps.

Those paths don't work... I keep getting the same thing...

Set the custom paths to what they were or in the readme?

this is what it turns out to be when i have the .mdx file with the name of warcraft3imported\....

The textures have the wrong path. It's using the Team color beneath the texture instead of the real texture. You need the right path.

I don't know the right path then, I downloaded it here.

[En_Fuego]

The real textures are the one's in the Readme.

In this case

"Units\Orc\Wolfrider\BlackhandRaider.mdx
Units\Orc\Wolfrider\BlackhandRaider_Portrait.mdx
Units\Orc\Wolfrider\BlackhandRaider.blp
Units\Orc\Wolfrider\Blackhand.blp (for the helmet)
"

Make sure you're using a back slash (\) and not a normal slash (/)

 

[NoobMapmaker]

Well it looks liek you open the wrong file.. try opening the .mdx file not the skin file

 

[BizzyBoo69]

They don't work...

You should contact the model creator then.

 

[NearbyHermit]

I reckon that the model is either damaged or God aint on your side.

 

[HappyTauren]

upload the model and I will fix it.

 

[En_Fuego]

I'm guessing it probably has something to do with World Editor Unlimited, now that I think about it.

Try using normal World Editor and import it.
