Quote:

ok, im starting to model on GMAX , and ok i learned how to animate, kinda
texture, model and wel wateva, and i am never able to load sumthing on WE,

wat im thinking is its da mdl stuff, but i dunt kno!!!!
-i edit the mdl, remove the first 3-4 lines and "export successful,
-and it converts successfully to mdx,
-i load it to WE, my small basic model is like 18kb or wateva on the importer, and ---wen i restart WE it just has the unit's shadow...
-in War3 Viewer i see the model is all red, but in WE or WC its invisible, the hel!!!
at least it could show up in WE,

WAT AM I DOING WRONG, .. argh...im planning to make lots of models but i cant even finish one of them...

simple:

Code:

 
		  Bitmap {
					   Image "",
					   ReplaceableId 1,----------> remove this line
		   }

Code:

 
		  Bitmap {
					   Image "(set here the texture path remenber to finish with .blp or .tga)",
		   }

Example:

Code:

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

the eyelids are a oval hemisphere, how do i move it down? if so does it mean i gotta create a ovalhemisphere during the animation?, is dat possible?

ElvinArcher123	im also wondering if theres a way to reset to the 0 position. What he means for more clarification, is that you can insert a keyframe that is exactly the same as the zero keyframe, or do you have to manually do it. Im not sure but mabye you can copy the keyframe, look in the motion editor (this is my guess aas gmax isnt working right now)

thats exactly what i mean, bugt you cant copy keyframes, let alone paste it...if i do it manually it will get messed up though...
