Why in the world?

Unread post by LionsBlood »

Why in the world do some custom models work in reign of chaos and others dont... I have seen a game called "Comic Book Heros" on roc it uses custom abilitys and has models! But for some reason when i am finished installing my models, and host the game. All the Custom models almost all anyway... Show up as shadows, making it impossible for people to see them! But i know they are there... I mean some work and some dont. Is there any way to fix this or any way to tell why this is happening so that i can import models that will work... Im having severe problems with this and have absolutely no clue what to do. Any suggestions?
All are very munch appreciated! :?

This tidbit of information was not helpful because i have no idea where to find war3.mpq on a specific model on the hiveworkshop.com so where would i look? Do i have to open the model in the editor to find war3.mpq? Or is it already in warcraft 3 directory? Still have no idea... googled alot and did some asking around hive but no one knows much.

Yeah that was pretty useless in itself. :) To my excuse, I was half asleep.

What I meant to say is maybe those custom models rely on TFT textures that don't exist on RoC. You can check if the textures those models use are actually in war3.mpq, which is an mpq archive that holds every texture, model, sound, etc that warcraft 3 uses. Use an mpq extractor for this task.
Or you simply imported the models wrong.

By the way the biggest model I ever created has a poly-count of 12 or so, therefore I might not be the best guy to answer your question. :D

No problem.

I like the hostbots, they don't affect me. Whenever I host one of my maps the game fills in seconds. Hostbots are great for many reasons, for example there is no delay in those games.

Lol? Why would they listen to one person? Besides, wc3 has no staff anymore. That game is over 10 years old and is being phased out. (Released: July 3, 2002)
