MDX Format

A vertex is influenced by bones.
I can't find weight for each of bones.
Is there anyone that finds them?

Each vertex is influenced by a group. This group can contain 1 or more bones. Since I can't find any weighting my guess is that each bone has the same influence as any other in the group.

KMK as soon as you get animations working we will have the starcraft mod released in about 3 weeks. Warcraft modding needs a jolt and I really think animations would get more people back in it. We have several models with skins ready to go, they are just stiff as boards.

this might sound pretty anoying but do u guys have anything about animations? ive put my mod in hybernation becuz it takes a long time before i can see my work ingame.

do u guys know of another engine thats suitable for 3d RTS games?
ive looked around on the net but most engines are ment for FPS or can be coded wich i dont know anything about.

greetz and keep it up,

hello, i have question regarding the (nice) mdx-documentation:

BONE
long nbytes;
struct {
struct {
OBJ bobjs[naobs];
long GeosetAnimID;
long GeosetID; (96:multiple(0x00010000))
} bones[nbons];
} gbones[ngbns];


where do i get the counts ngbns,nbons and naobs from ?

thanx.

hey blunted if you are writing a mdx exporter i would be glad to help you. i wrote one for milkshape but it obviously cant have many features. i suggest you export to the ascii version of the mdx format (*.mdl) because unless you are planning on adding every single feature (and there are a lot) then they needed to be converter to the ascii format for editing anyway. come by irc and ill help you out. #wc3campaigns on irc.irc-chat.net

yep i want to write an mdx exporter, but first the importer :) it will be for an open source 3d editor which is downloadable from my website. it currently lets you import/export quake3-md3-format and i want to add mdx support. yep ive red about yobguls mdx-mdl exporter but the executable doesnt works in my warcraft3 folder (error dlg: number 667 not found in dlll "war3.exe"). ive also red that there is sourcecode of this converter available in the net but didnt found it :( .
so help is appreciated :) sorry never used irc, i have an irc-client here (mozilla) but dont know how to configure..

Where can I get the document on the MDX file specs compiled so far? I'd like to mess around with editting them with other softwares.

Where can I find the MDX file specification so far?

Thx
