Warcraft III Viewer

I just want to say thank you, first of all, for making such a great tool. I have version 2.3 and it works great. I have had 0 problems with it.

One minor thing you may have over looked though; It appears as though you forgot to update the "help me" file. Correct me if I'm wrong but, here is what I found when I went back to read it a second time.

Ctrl-A dousen't select archive. It's now Convert to TGA and reload textures.

Ctrl-L isn't listview. It's now find MPQ. Which is probably the same thing but, when you read it your like,emote_sweat listview???

Ctrl-S isn't save menu or select image. It's snapshot.

Just thought I'd be of help.
And another thing that I found of Blizzards. There is a type-O with the DoomGuard. Most people probably notice but I thought I'd say it pass on he info. The path is:
Units\Demon\DoomGuard\DoomGaurd.blp
The second "doomguard" is spelled wrong.

@J3lademaster : first of all, thanks for using my tool and appreciating it :) Yes, you are totally true : the help file is not up to date, and I know it : first, I hate making help files, and second I have not enough free time now to update it. So, if you want to do it, be sure that I give you all the rights you need to do so. And, yes, I had noticed the mistyping of blizzard too :ggani:

I am your eternal slave and would be happy to edit the "help me" file. I'll e-mail it to you when I'm finished. I'm sure it will be up to your standards.:hammer:

I have a wierd problem with this program... When i open tft mpq war3x.mpq there is noting in it. Its confusing do i need a different list file or someting?

First, the Warcraft 3 Viewer does not use any external list file.
Second, be sure to have the last version (currently 2.3, soon 2.3a).

When you load an MPQ : the w3v extracts a file named listfile.tmp in your temporary directory, fills its data, and then deletes it.
Check that you have not already a file named "listfile.tmp" in your temporary directory that cannot be overwritten.

umm, i have v 2.3.1.407, How exactly would i locate that temp file?

Typically :

If you have Windows 2000 or Windows XP :
c:\Documents and Settings\[Name of Your Account]\Local Settings\Temp

If you have Windows 95/98/ME :
c:\Windows\Temp

I got that far, and i loaded the file after i ran the program, and it was blank.

I don't understand what you are telling me...
When you load the War3x.mpq, isn't there the name of the MPQ that appears in the top of the TreeView window, with a "+" on the left of the name ?
Do you load the MPQ with either the "Open MPQ" button or "File -> Open MPQ", and not with "File -> Open" nor the "Open" button ?

I think it is a problem with my mpq. When tried to load it in winmpq, the list file said Unknown for everything. when i checked thetemp file that you told me about after loading the war3x.mpq, it was blank, nothing on it at all. I probably have to re install wc3 tft, becasue winmpq couldnt read it either.

EDIT: I used the Open MPQ button on the tool bar.

ok

I got it to work. Just wanted to thank u for a great tool, i've used it since it came out

A new version of the Warcraft 3 Viewer has been released - version 2.3a. Check the changes here : http://www.wc3campaigns.com/forums/s...threadid=18440

Hey I got a few questions.

I've been getting these problems and a number of other skinners. It seems like the skin gets simplfied. Got any idea why this happens?

Also any news about adding an mdl -> mdx and mdx -> mdl converter?

Yeah, Mock1-
I already pointed out to TheProphet the mdx converters that they have out. I suggested that he check out the programs that try to convert stuff to gmax. It would be nice to have someone working on better program to do any of that stuff.The mdl's, 3ds, and mdx converters; they all are not as good as they should be. If Prophet ever incorporated an mdx to mdl converter into his viewer I don't know what I would do with myself. Even if it was half ass.
PROPHET RULES!!!:dH:

I love your website by the way Mock1 I've been going there forever.
I've noticed the discoloration in my own skins as what you mentioned above and I never gave it any thought till you just mentioned it. It does seem to over-simplify or something. (He's talking about that rainbow effect I think. Those funny-colored circles and such.) Correct me if I'm wrong Mock.
