mdx image editor thing

can neone help me understand how to work this object editor thing that just came out, i went in the prog how do i edit, i cant find obj files

:(

Here's a few instructions that might help...

1) Extract a .mdx model of your choice from the .mpq file, I'd recomend using the BigMPQSpecificExtractor.

2) Execute the MdxTextEditor program.

3) Press the 'Load MDX' button, it should be located in the bottom of the dialog box.

4) Open the .mdx that you extracted.

5) Go to 'File' in the menu, and select 'Export'.

6) Choose a filename to export the vertex data to. The data will be exported to a file as type .obj

7) Use a modeling program(like Milkshape3D, which you can download at http://www.swissquake.ch/chumbalum-soft ) to edit the vertices (you'll first need to 'import' the vertices into the vertices into Milkshape3d, you can do this by going to 'File', 'Import', and then to 'Wavefront OBJ', note that you can only edit the current vertices, not remove or add any.

8) Export the vertices from Milkshape3D once you have finished editing them (same proccess as importing them, but instead of going to import, go to export).

9) Go back to the MdxTextEditor program, and make sure that you have the model that you previously exported vertices from loaded, and go to 'File', then to 'Import'.

10) Load the vertices that were exported by the modeling program.

11) You can check to see the changes done to the model in the model by pushing the button 'View Model'.

12) You can then proceed to saving the .mdx to whatever filename you want, and importing it into the game.

13) Have fun with the edited model in whatever map your making. :)

Hope that cleared some of your questions up...

Umm... where can I get this editor, please?

You can download the MdxTextEditor in the wc3campaigns.com downloads folder.
