Decay animation being stubborn..

02-12-2007, 06:20 AM

Converted from MDX with: MdlxConv
Edited with: vertexmodify and ultraedit(like notepad but can load huge files fast as hell)
Model used: A custom footman model that had his weapons and head removed.
Tried to fix by editing and resaving with: Magos' Editor

Hey. I have been through the tutorial that teaches you how to hide different meshes in animations and even though I looked through my MDL code a few times already, I can't find out why the footman texture shows up in the Decay Bone animation(last on list).
I managed to remove the shoulder pads from showing, but not the body.
Also something strange is that in Warcraft 3 Viewer V2.3c I see the body but in Magos' Editor it doesn't for some reason. I saved the file through Magos' editor and tried opening it in Wc3 Img Viewer again but I got the same problem again.
I have 3 geosets;
0 = Footman body
1 = Shoulder Pads
2 = Bones

I solved the problem but had to make a new model.
I'll be working on the new models now for a while and hopefully understand what I did wrong on this one by then. (I am not making models, even if I say so. I am mixing models and changing animations. Not custom made ones)
And I still need a good animation for polearm user footman
