The Import Manager is not in the File menu. Hit F12 and you will get it but TFT required.

where do you attach the wings? do you type in body?

Chest, not body. It says that right when you download it on www.campaigncreations.org

o my bad,thx

ya, anyways, i got the angel sword and attached it to my admiral proudmoore, when i tested the game, the sword overlapped the unit,


how do you fix that? i got it offa campaigncreations

That would be a problem with the bones or something in the model... I don't know if you can fix it without 3DMax or something, but you can prolly find someone who will... post in the modelling section.

Uh So there is a TFT import manager, but not in ROC ya? if there is 1 in ROC where the hell is it ! I cant find it, and I only got ROC

There isn't one in RoC; you need to get a program that can open .mpq files (I suggest WinMPQ), then open the map with it and then import the file under whatever path file you want--for example, something like Items\Weapons\Swords\AngelSword.mdx Then just make sure you use that same file extention when editting stuff. You have to re-open the map wtih WinMPQ and re-import the file every time you save the map. I would definitely suggest getting TFT if you're doing anything more than something like melee maps.

Good job. I think I have what I need to go ahead with my project

hey how can i replace a weapon for example i make a sword and put it on a footman, how do i get rid of the footmans existing sword.:bgrun:

Alpha channels to make the weapon invisible or model edits. If you want something without the weapon, I'd ask in the requests.

How might one do alpha channel modifications?

As for me, the Blood Elf Sword works fine with the ability->item method, but the .mdx should be attached to Art - Target and Art - Effect (EDIT: revised after testing); I attached it to the left hand, but am assuming that assigning it Frostmourne's path would replace Frostmourne with it ...?

To do alpha channels, you have to convert the .blp into a .tga (or something similar) open a paint program (NOT MSPAINT or PS:Elements, you needs something like PS or PSP), then find the area where you select the different channels (Red, Blue, Green, Alpha). Go to the alpha channel; anything that's black is invisible, white is normal, in-bewtween is team color. It's on a greyscale, but it appears as red when you edit the alpha channel. Look it the tutorials section if that's not detailed enough for you.

i cant find the ability orc battle standard, can someone give me a hint which category is it under?
