"how to you make model packs? like tree linking variations etc, and linking stuff for wc3sear?

thats english!

linking through mdl, like wc3 trees, like how they have variation and stuff like that, scratch's head*, its hard to explain.
Or how you make model packs like at wc3sear so the uploader asks for the other linking models.

argh..too hard to explain, but im sure rdz will understand what i mean.

Tiki	No this is english. "How do you make model packs? How would I make a tree system among models?" And what do you even mean with this, "and linking stuff for wc3sear?". Do you mean how models are setup as so: Human Human/Knight/ Human/Footman/ Orc/Grunt/ Etc?

Werewulf	grr..argh...no, model packs. heres an example. like how rdz hosted more than one model by linking them via mdl data so the server would ask for the other models here is an example: http://www.wc3sear.ch/index.php?p=Mo...27cd15ddc2fe0c

Whitehorn	You don't link trees, they just share a similar name. Export some trees and observe the names of the models.

Werewulf	okay, cool, thanks, then how do i do the model pack thing?

Tiki	Look at the model name "The RDZ Industries Remix Pack Dummy Model", its a fake one.

Whitehorn	To link models, look at a naga building, it has a mdx attachment near the bottom. That's really all you do. Example (my spinners): Code: Attachment "Item" { ObjectId 1, Path "item_model.mdx", Parent 0, // "Bone_Center" }

Rao Dao Zao	Yeah, list of attachment points, with the "Path" property set to whatever. Apparently wc3sear.ch will check all the models for the needed textures, but I put them all in the dummy model file just to be safe. I know this is unrelated, but I've noticed a couple maps where people imported the dummy model too.

Nasrudin	I wonder, does 'search script ask for the textures needed by the linked models?

Metal_Sonic64	It does, I'm pretty sure.

Werewulf	ah..thanks...phew.. maybe you can make a tut or notice at wc3sear? im sick of people posting 8 or 10 models in a row. meh, im might do it.. thanks! (webpage saved)

Rao Dao Zao	I think N00byStance already did a model pack tutorial, to be honest. People flood anyway.
