Ok so i want to add a second sword (one in the left hand) for the Blademaster model. So I opened the .mdl in Oinkerwinkles Vertex Modifier. Then i deleted all of the geosets except for the one containing the sword. I saved this Geoset as "sword.mdl". I then opened Oinkerwinkle's Geomerger, set the base model as Heroblademaster.mdl the geoset as Sword.mdl. The Output was called "DuelBlades.mdl" I set the textures to the Textures\HeroBlademaster.blp and kept the type as Transparent (I didnt know what it did, so i didnt change it). I then merged it to the bone "Bone_Hand_L" (without quotations). I then opened it in the War 3 Viewer and made the unit Stand. The sword was there but didnt move with the model. I then went back into the Vertex Modifier and moved the sword into position the position of the hand and tried again. Once again, no good. Does anyone know what i am doing wrong? |

Did the sword move at all, or just not how you wanted? It sounds like you've done everything perfectly. If you upload the model, I will probably be able to see what's wrong. |

I'm not sure why, but forever reason it just didn't attach it to the bone you wanted. Here is a version in which I fixed that. |

Many thanks! Just out of curiosity, how did you fix it? |

Ok i have come across problem two. I gave him the DH attack animations, so that it would fit with the two swords, Now the sword moves, but is way out of position. I could keep it as the BM attacks, but if there is a way to fix this id like to know. EDIT: Ok now i tried to replace the BM (using your working Duel Swords) head, with an arthas head. I removed the pole on his back, his samurai hip plates, his bamboo flag stick, and part of his head. I saved it, looked in viewer, now the sword wont move... |

I fixed it by changing to following section of the last geoset: Code:
}
}
[b]Groups 1 1 {
Matrices { [u]13[/u] },
}[/b]
MinimumExtent { -168.03, -178.09, 9.33408 },
MaximumExtent { 205.773, 171.715, 291.987 },I changed 0 to 13 in that underlined bit, 13 being the number for the left hand that I looked up further down in the MDL. I can't think of why deleting stuff would make the sword stop moving. Could you jus post your MDL again? |
