Hi there, first i know how to convert mdx to mdl with a tool like magos war3editor or wc3fileconverter... so thats not my problem. my problem is that I want to script a tool that should make modifying *.mdl params more comfortable for the modelers (like the texturpath etc.) ... i dont know how to write a script that converts a mdx file into a mdl file but i thougt that some people might know such an dll with functions like that, because the wc3fileconverter by yob uses some war3 *.dlls ,too I'm scripting in Visual Basic.Net and got some basic knowledge about C but i think i can manage that... So is there anyone who can tell me the functions of the dlls i need for converting mdx and mdl or explain me how to write a script that can convert the files? |

My "Finaliser" program does some limited "comfortable" editing of header stuff in the MDL, but it's main purpose is finalising Milkshape exports. Written in VB6, though, so anything I can give you probably wouldn't help. |

He means changing in the .mdx directly so there is no need to annoyingly convert it to mdl every F***ING time you need to change something small. It would be good if someone wrote a "MDX NOTEPAD" or something. However I am pretty sure its hard if not impossible with VB and u're better off using C, which is where my knowledge ends (correct me if im wrong tho, if its possible I'd truely like to know how in VB) |

All I can say is that Magos' editor shouldn't lock down the texture path; that's its single most annoying feature. Perhaps somebody should track him down and shout at him? |

I am sure that Yobgul's uses the dlls. My hidden dream was to actually find out a way to contact yobgul so he could release the source or actually tell me how he made that program |

Im really curious how he found out the functions of the war3 dll files... o.o I cant believe that somebody would intepret the absolute code... o.O I could need every hint you can give me =) I downloaded the sourcecode of Mago's but i cant get startet with it, im a newbie in programming and i cant "speak" c++ ^^ Im even glad that i understood the basics of oop :> |

btw... I found some old tool on my hard drive downloaded from wc3c centuries ago, is this any useful? |

Lol I also have that :O),.. but I doubt if it's useful for this situation. |
