Hi, I only just started doing modelling the other day, and I spent ages seeking and downloading all the programs required to convert formats and such.

I am using MilkShape3D to make my models, and then using the plug-in to export them to War3 .mdl format.
Then I edit the .mdl in notepad, as is required, and add in the texture name and animation sequences (there actually arent any, its just a doodad/static building).

My problem arises when I try to use War3FileConverter to convert my .mdl to .mdx. There are two errors I have gotten, which are:





- and I'm hoping possibly the programs creator could help me out? or anyone who knows whats going on there, because I surely dont ^_^.

Those mean that you have problems with your MDL. It is not a problem with the exporter and the first error is not necessarily a problem in the textures or materials. Post your MDL and I'll look to see what's wrong. It gives very vauge errors, so just posting them doesn't help too much.

Its ok I fixed it now from reading the plug in's thread. It was because of a bad header and some "#IND" in the vertices. All better now :)

To ungroup taskbar items in XP:
Right click on the task bar and select properties
Uncheck the box "Group similar task bar items" :)
