I got a bunch of MODELS from a HALF LIFE MOD website and I am trying to convert these to WC3 compatible models, do you know if this is possible and if so how do I do it.

Explain better.

Which filetype? What 3d program do you use? That kind of stuff.

They are all in MDL format, but I'm not sure how to import them correctly into WC3, I tried using the import manager but it wont work.

Yeah coz this really belongs in the models gallery, I believe there are programs that convert the file type but I dont know where, and this is for that map Tribute isnt it?

Actually it's called converting, but yes. Youbguls Converter could do the work. Different thing is that does it work.. and you should also find a skin for it.

Anyways, it would be hard, but not impossible.

(Here's a link to the converter. Use it to convert the .mdl files to .mdx.)

I did try using the file converter but it states that it's an unknown file type, which is odd considering it IS an MDL file...and the reader is supposed to read MDL files..here is one of the files I'm trying to convert, maybe you can help.

albiino: typo mistake and i didnt feel like editing.
ssaiyan12: i get error reading file and unespected token. it happened to me once, i never got it to work. but this is a really weird mdl file. it doesnt make sense if you open it.

Duh.. the mdl in HL is obviously not the same as the wc3 mdl format.

duh.. i know that, did you hear me say it wasnt? i only said that this one is very weird and it doesnt make sense. even for a other type of mdl.

Please.. Don't turn this into a flame-war.

And yes, I thought the converter would say something like that, because as RightField stated before, Half-Life's .mdl files are very different from wc3's ones. Sorry, but I can't help you anymore with this.. you should ask someone who has worked with .mdl files for a long time.. like Oinkerwinkle.

why you guys give me bad rep! albino you said that i gave you bad rep, but i didnt. and i have 2 bad rep with your name albino. this is really low. you dont even know it was me...man cant i even have a oppinion. what the hell did i say to get bad rep! if you dont believe that i didnt give you bad rep, i can still give you rep to prove it! and then the other guy that is using albino's name. you are sad and a lamer. sjeeez..i cant believe this crap.

EDIT: albiino, i have been thinking. i dont think this was your fault. someone else gave you bad rep and me to with your name. i will now give you green rep to prove it wasnt me. even if you dont reply or give me some rep back later, i dont care, because i know that i didnt do it.

Yes.. I am so deeply sorry, Windrunner.. I really am.

I'm sure I haven't gave you bad reputation ever before! Until this. I thought that you gave me that "Heh funny" rep. Until I saw your reputation and that there were already one with my name. Someone has been messing with your reputation and with my name.

I can't say anything else than that I'm deeply sorry. I will give you good reputation as soon as possible.

No problem, but I'd really like to know who sent you the bad reputation points with my name on them.. I'll PM a moderator about this thing.
