REQUEST: Tutorial for converting Gmax to Wc3 Models

I'd love a Tutorial for converting Gmax models into wc3 models (.mdx)

EDIT: Rep points for whoever makes one that works for me

1. Get 'DeX Script (search the forums for it).

2. Put it in the Scripts folder of gmax's directory.

3. Open gmax.

4. Click the hammer icon on the side toolbar.

5. Click MAX Script.

6. Run 'DeX Script (only Print to Listener works).

7. Copy and paste the MDL into a blank text document.

8. Enter the path you want the skin for your model to have under Textures.

9. Save the document as an MDL file (.mdl).

10. Convet it to MDX with War3FileConverter (download at wc3sear.ch).

NOTE: Make sure before you export the model that it's only one mesh, its converted to editable mesh or poly, and that it's selected or you will end up with a blabk document.

Thanks you VERY MUCH!!!

Just one question... How do I save it as a MDL file... :\

EDIT: Have done everything correctly until step 9 where you have to save it as MDL file... what program can you do that in? :(

No1 knows?

No1 knows?

EDIT: I'm kind of confused... This is my first time modelling in Gmax... but I dont really get what you mean... I have opened listener and there the "text" for .mdl file is... but what I dont get is how can you save it as a mdl file...

Omg create a new text file rename it to (name).mdl press ctra in the listener then ctrx in the mdl then in the listener ctra untill everything is cutted and pasted in the mdl -_-
