Stupid mdls.

Hey, i am just begining to make models for war III (using milkshape), and I have run into a few problems:
First, when ever I try to convert a mdl to a mdx using Yobo... uh... what ever his name is's file converter, I get this:
Error reading model file:

Error(line 1): Unexpected token "1(or maybe its a |?)1/2"

Any help?

im just starting out too, and i have milkshape, but i cant get yobguls converter to load at all. and what did u d o for the animation, how did u make a walk and attack animation?

Well, lets see if I, in my utter n00bness, can help- do you have a mdl exporter for Milkshape? There's one in the dl section. If you can load files now, tell me if you get the same problem, ok?

An unexpected token error means you have a problem in the MDL file. It would be hard to guess the problem without you posting it here, however.

Ok, here's the mdl. :

Oh, one other thing- does anyone know of any good MDL editing tutorials? I need a lot of help with them, and, who knows, it could also solve my problem.

They have them in the stickied posts. and i have the same problem

i just got yobguls converter to start and then when i tried to convert it said the same thing. :(

the problem with converting after making a model in milkshape is there is some text in the file that throws off the converter i guess, because by deleting some of the text i was able to convert, i just deleted to much and then the world editor crashed.

Well what did you delete? Tell us so we can figure this thing out!
edit: Oh, we crashed? nm then.

you have a wrong header
change this part

with this

Sequences 1 {
Anim "Stand - 1" {
Interval { 83, 2000 },
MinimumExtent { -89.1712, -93.5207, -72.6385 },
MaximumExtent { 67.3421, 94.2175, 28.4372 },
BoundsRadius 106.769,
}
}
Textures 2 {
Bitmap {
Image "place your texture link here (for exp. = textures\door.blp ",
}
Bitmap {
Image "",
ReplaceableId 1,
}
}
Materials 2 {
Material {
Layer {
FilterMode Transparent,
static TextureID 0,
}
}
Material {
Layer {
FilterMode None,
Unshaded,
static TextureID 1,
}
Layer {
FilterMode Blend,
static TextureID 0,
}
}
}

in the interval part of the sequence is equal to frame 2 - 48

you should read the milkshape exporter readme
for more details

Yeah, i did read it right after I posted my last reply. Oops.

Ok, now I have another question, if you care to answer it:
After the sequences, there are two more lines: Minnimum and maximum extent. How do I find these? What do they mean? Am I driving you crazy with my constant questions yet?

just leave this part as they are
it is the min and max coordinates that the unit has in the animation
but IMHO it has no effect in wc3
