Need to convert 3d files to .MDL or .MDX

I used milkshape and u can pretty much export it to any file but .MDL or .MDX. for example

.OBJ
.LWO
.MD2



there is a mdl but i get this error-

"Warning: no control script found!"

thanx in advance!

-Bboyknockout

and the milkshape file extention is .ms3d

Export to OBJ, import to 3dsMAX, export to MDX.

Export to OBJ, import to GMAX, export to MDX.

Either way you need MAX or know someone who has 3dsMAX5.

i imported a .mdx using the script and wen i select all of it and click this-
Export selected to .MDX

this pops up-

wat should i do?

thanx in advance!

and the Open Lister way,(MDL) doesnt work either.

That export script is very VERY outdated and does not work generally. I think Dex would work better then that one, but even Dex is unstable. The best thing is Max5.1 with ArtTools.

do u know where i could get max 5.1?

just made this real fast. notice that i didnt even edit/change anything.

why r all the animations messed up wen i didnt even edit it.

do u think that error box/message wen i close FileConverter have to do anything?

thanx in advance!

That video does not seem to work for me. It remains at the 'Windows Media' logo. I will PM you my e-mail, send it to me.

yea i sent it to u. please reply on this thread and not on my email.
thanx!

I have not received the E-mail. Check that it was sent, and check that you spelled my E-mail correctly.

I got past wat was happening on my video, on my video this is wat i did.

.1 i opened WCmodelveiwer and extracted a model

2. converted it to an mdl and converted it STRAIGHT back to an mdx WITHOUT editing it.

-and the animations were all messed up-

im like 99% sure that WC model veiwer is a BAD extracter, cuz wen i use WinMPQ and did the same thing, its fine. this is where i am now-

it shows the list of animations but wen i choose one he doesnt move.

do i have to copy the vericals or bones or anything from to MDL thats NOT edited to the MDL that IS edited?

thanx in advance!!!

-would U like to see my NON-edited and Edited-MDL?
(wen i mean edited, i mean the edited model converted to the an MDL.

"Warcraft 3 Viewer.exe" That is the viewer you are refering to, correct? It is not a bad extractor at all, in fact it is the best way without winMPQ at the moment.

What are you using to convert from MDL to MDX?

What is that screenshot in? It is not 3dsMAX. (Unless it's MAX7 with Dex?)

yes i used "Warcraft 3 Viewer.exe". to extract the MDX file. but now i use WinMPQ.

but the screenshot is from "War3ModelEditor.exe".

and i am using "War3FileConverter.exe" to convert the files.

but that doesnt matter anymore cuz im not gettin the WERID animations anymore, i think because im using WinMPQ now.

i am currently using "War3ModelEditor.exe" to edit my models and they work, but its a hard program to model with.

if i can get 3d studio max that would be GREAT! and does the DEX script work for 3d Studio max 7?

thanx in advance!

I have no experience with that new model editor, as I have no need to use it. In my opinion, your best bet is 3dsMAx5.1.

Dex works for 7, but it is very unstable. I suggest 5.1 or at least 4.2.

i know that 3d studio max 5.1 is best, or even 4.2.

do u have it?

do u know how i can get it? or is this kinda download stuff not allowed on this forum?

thanx!

and if i get 3d studio max 7, and the dex script messes up or sumtin, cant i just try it again until it works?

:edit:

i got 3d studio max 7 and this showed up during the setup-

and and wen i open 3dstudio max and do stuff it starts lookinh like like this-

Dex is unstable in the sence that it only works for certain models. Not in a sence that if you try it 10 times it works 2 times.

I do not know what that error is, as I have said, I only work in Max 4 and 5. You can get Max5 on p2p software such as DC++ and KaZaA, however that is illegal. You could get it from a friend at work, however that is illegal. Neverthless, there are ways to get it without paying.

yea, ok man thanx!

and i was lookin at ur sig and one that says-
Blood Gulch FPS. U a halo fan?

I am!
