Stupid Firelord path :/

Dunno if anyone else has noticed, but the Firelord model path is "Units\Creeps\HeroFlameLord\HeroFlameLord.mdl" but when I try to find it in wc3 viewer, it don't show up, both in wc3.mpq and w3x.mpq. What the heck?

Firelord was added through a patch.
Tried patch.mpq?

Newp, thought the patch added the model to the w3x.mpq.. Gonna try it.

EDIT:

No luck, there aren't even any items in the mpq. In the tree view of wc3viewer, there should be some branches, but there aren't in war3patch.mpq. There are in war3 and w3x.mpq though.

Yub, had that problem when i wanted to skin the tinker. And the alchemist.

My guess is that you'd have to export the mdx with an mpq editor/opener thing of somesorts, and then browse to the file on your hard drive manually with vieuwer.

Here is the mdx...

When extracting from the MPQ, never search for mdl, always search for mdx. For some wild reason, WE changes it from mdx to mdl.

Always search for .mdx rather than .mdl!

I want to skin his ass, I'll try to export the blp.

@Alexander244 : Thanks for exporting the model though btw.

EDIT: Goddamnit, it ain't in any of the mpq's! >_<

Alexander244, where did you find the model? Can you also export the blp for me?

The firelord is in War3patch.mpq.

the MPQ is not empty, it only lacks a listfile. use MPQMaster, and when a listfile-selecting dialog opens whilst opening war3patch.mpq, select both RoC and TFT. This will then show you all the files that are also in the other MPQs, and a bunch of unknown entrys. (such as "File 000000013.blp")

Find out which one is the firelord or the firelords texture. (just extract em all and check em in magos' or something)

Anyone got the latest patch's listfile?

A few people have already said this, but I will reinforce it:

• Dl (if you don't have it already)
• Open War3Patch.mpq in your warcraft III folder with the TFT listfile
• For the model: .../Units/Creeps/HeroFlameLord
• For the blp: .../Textures

Uploaded the .blp for you, I presume it's the right one...

Well I don't have the latest patch listfile and things like "unknown\unknown8024" gibberish are displayed and I was too lazy to hunt for it.

Thanks for posting the blp, can't rep you yet, but I will once I spread it .
