Modeling from Scratch with Milkshape

Well I just downloaded that plugin and started afresh in the pyraball thing, except activating the plugin just before doing the animations, it came up with a box saying the plugin was on, so I did the rest of the tutorial. But it's still not working, though I'm thinking:

Do you have to regester your copy of Milkshape in order to make the animations work? So you people who have got it working have you all regestered your copy? If you do then it would make sence for the wide-spread 'not working'

I'm back. I realize the eror, I forgot to add the part, I think it's the skin, I'll edit the tutorial. Sorry about this!

EDIT: I'm making a new thread, this one is too jam packed, can a moderator delete this after I'm done with the new one?

I know this might sound dumb but HOW THE HELL DO YOU PLACE JOINTS??? :( :( :( im soooo confused please help me, and how do i get into import manager? e-mailo me at [email protected]

Pls add link to this post when u are done with new post about milkshape modeling.I tried that plugin and it doesnt work(I mean I dont know where to paste heading or it doesnt work)

Ok I was trying this for the first time and I did everything you told me to.

But when I re-open my WC3 WE my model is just a shadow. Nothing but A shdow. Could anyone help me? Please? :(

that thing let you make skins? o.O

AHHH, man it says it cant load it... i reopen and reopen and reopen, after the 9th time i gave up... i followed the instructions to the letter, but it just wont load it... i dont know how it works... but i dont think im cut out for this modeling stuff after all...

Ok, the mass triangles in unwrapper dont go away when i select box 1, and sphere 1 doesnt show up at all when i select it. when i select box 1, only the box with a diagonal line through it highlights in red, the mass triangles remain there, in blue. When i select sphere 1, the whole thing is highlighted red, the box, the mass triangles. Also, there was an option that was in the tutorial to check when you saved the unwrapping procedure, i didnt have the option, what gives? please reply asap, thank you.

Lami, you must be some sort of Messiah, because that is the single command that has screwed me over for the past week. The original tutorial said "Save the File as <name>.3ds , so I assumed it meant you must export the File from Milkshape into Autodesk (.3ds).

Wahoo!

[edit]

I Know this sounds kinda redundant, but I also have problems with the File converter. I Try loading the file and it gives me the Error "Unknown file format" for whichever conversion type a try to do. Also, when I close the program, I get an Error message that says something like :
"The instruction at "0x00042402 referenced memory at 0x00022422"
this souns like a problem with my memory, but how does that fit in with anything?

From experience it is a good thing when it says 'cannot load' because this means that it has loaded successfully, and 9 times out of 10 it will load correctly in game or when you restart the editor.

All well and good, but milkshape is a pos. it sux. if this was medieval england the programmers would be burned at the stake for... werewolfery or something. anyways if u go to discreet.com you can find a free download of a program called 'GMAX'. its basically free 3dsmax that you cant make movies on. trust me on this one. you will thank me for it!!!

Excuse me ,'im new there and i try to know how to create models , i follow step by step and all works , except the last part : my war3fileconverter dont work!
It says : The ordinal 294 could not be located in the dynamic linc library storm.dll
or GAME.dll not found
And when i tried installing this program in the war3 folder , nothing work !!!
:'( TOO BAD

HELP ME!

Argh I cant get it to look like a pyramid! I do exactly what it says and it still looks like a box! :\ Any help?

Well, it sais to vertexise it, then move the top two dots at the top left and right windows. after that it should look like a pyramid.
Anyway why the model loses all animation after you unwrap/skin it?

1 prob, where can i download the tools, and if you mean the art tools, how can i install those, i dont have 3dsmax
