Title: [QUESTION]  MDX to M2
Post by: Arid on January 18, 2013, 03:59:30 pm

I've gotta ask because I WANT to pratice this, What's the best program to edit MDL's in their text format and copy everything I need to null model?

I personally prefer Notepad++, but obviously, you can edit mdls with everything you want.

Okay. So I'm converting it and it stops at bones and crashes. I' tried editing them and then it crashed on an animation. Because I'm trying to figure out how Vel does this.  Is there anything the Bones should NOT have when converting a model?

EDIT: I'd also like to request an unedited Northrend model I can pratice converting on. As I do not have 3dsmax at the moment

You should ask Vaanel if you want to have the .m2 for his models, Arid.

MDX to M2 is really unstable and it will be even harder with Cata, since they changed model structures.

Dude, Vaanel does not even have M2 versions of his models. That was totally unrelevant, he exports WoW M2s into MDLVIS and MILKSHAPE and edits their model and texture and use it in his WARCRAFT III MACHINIMA. I don't want to see any post about Vaanel's "Modding".

Still, one has to admit that his work is impressive, result wise.

One, Close this.
Two: I don't want his models.

Sure, sure, then how come I knew you wanted them?
There are hundreds of .mdx files on Hiveworkshop and wc3c.

How come I was told so :)

I want to learn how he does models like he does. Luke is a liar. Now get off my case.
