Hi
Im just found blizzard  Warcraft III Art Tools here http://classic.battle.net/war3/files/  described by the Blizzard: Comprising a set of plugins for Discreet®'s 3ds max®, these tools allow advanced users to create, modify, and quickly preview models and animations, including particle and ribbon effects, that can be used in custom maps created with Warcraft III's World Editor, im bit curious of this tool but 3ds max 4.26 is required. Already found plain 4.00 3ds max installer, but can't find update to 4.26. Gogle says says that update is free but cant find it anywhere, also checked autodesk website. So asking here, does anybody of you guys have this update ?

I know it is for w3 mdx but  models could be used to wow modding after conversion to m2.

Stan

Because i always wanted use some m2's from lk into tbc or classic clients i decided  write tool in C which can convert simply models to TBC 0x0401 m2 version.
still in early version supports:
simple animation supported
collision supported

to do:
external .anim files ( for character models)
multiple .skin files
light effects(particles- already done in separated converter, ribbons) .

could be useful for tbc moders who want use some doodad from LK, or cata/mop/wod m2's which are converted to lk version before.

to proper worh  2 parameters are required at  start: m2_filename and skin_filename.

step by step:
-extract desired LK m2 and skin files to new directory
-copy lk2bc.exe there too
-run console
-cd to directory with files
- type: lk2bc m2_filename.m2 m2_filename.skin

new file will be given on output.

Hi

Because i'd like to use  deadmines enterance as separate building i decided to cut all tunnels and use barn and silo. After blender work i converted obj to wmo, and recevied 2 files, root and part wmo. It works in game, then time has come for adding the doodads. I've opened it with wmoeditr, flagged part wmo - HAS DOODADS and added some inside. But doodads not showing after saving and reloading. Tthey appears on the list but not showing. Is there any solutin for this?

If not i think to add all doodads in blender and make them as part of wmo while conversion in mirror_machine


found solution on the board, search option is sometimes useful

Hi
i have problem with some spells which id like to add in my vanilla project.
for example i need add spell #30835, which summons an infernal at prince malchezar in karazhan.
the sd2 explanation says that SPELL_INFERNAL_RELAY_SUMMON = 30835,                    // triggers 30836, which summons an infernal. So i added to spell.dbc both spells 30835 and 30836, also core spelleffect.cpp has those lines:

  case 30835: // Infernal Relay
                {
                    if (!unitTarget)
                        return;

                    unitTarget->CastSpell(unitTarget, 30836, true, NULL, NULL, m_caster->GetObjectGuid());
                    break;

but in prince malhezzar fight infernals are not spawning. After casting those spells by command .cast 30835 - nothing happen, but .cast 30836 spawns infernals ok. Does anybody have idea whats is going on ?

 logs gives no errors with that, core and sd2 compiles smoothly...

same situation is with shade of aran's cirular blizzard.

need those spells worked to my vanilla karazhan raid, which is almost done.

thanks for help Stan

I have problem with placing holes on map at place choosen by me.  For example, must have hole 4x4 tiles at chunk 10.1, beacuse there is bulding with cellar. At 1st time used Tigrius CreateHoles.exe  at chunk 161 - hole was created but on first tile chunk 161. Tried <value> parameter but always hole was created on 1 tile of chunk.
 my cmd was: createholes.exe azeroth_30_51.adt 161 8

Then i tried Tallis, checkboxed hole tiles on chunk -> saved adt but with no success, there was no holes in game.

what am doing wrong, i would be grateful for any suggestion.
