I decided to make a building birth for demons. Because the undead use demon magic in summoning, i decided to make it similar to the UBirth model. Because Dreadlord is a demon, and his aura is a purple UD summon rune, i decided to replace green with purple. So i did. Then i converted back to mdx, only to find that it wouldnt show in-game. So i looked in wc3veiwer to see if the textures were invalid, but it showed fine there. So why dont it work in-game?
:(

Your problem was that you were referencing a texture that didn't exist. I changed

Code:

	Bitmap {
		Image "Textures\Purple_Glow2.blp",
	}

Code:

	Bitmap {
		Image "Textures\Purple_Glow.blp",
	}

and it worked.

To make that inital thing around the edges be purple instead of green, I changed the color-controlling GeosetAnim lines to this:

Code:

	static Color { 1, .5, 1 },

Anyway, the fixed file is attached.

Oinkerwinkle	Yup, there are lots of things that will work in the viewer but not in game. You're welcome.

Guest	Two little things...1, i figured out how to make the thing work during the birth animation, 2 darn a whole thread because i got a texture wrong sure makes me look stupid. Heres my demon building. I looked through old threads and found one that was answered by duh the great Oinkerwinkle. So i made my little demon building and edited the attachments and it was done.
