i been throughly in a month now finding solutuions on how to fix my wc3 model editor....

it starts like this
1. download zip file of wc3 model editor
2. extract it on my folder(not warcraft)
3. open it and an error says : a missing .DLL is not found d3d9.DLL
4. well i have downloaded one and placing the dll inside the folder of wc3 model editor
5. after, i restart my computer and try to test it again. then an error saying again: a link export from d3d9.dll is not found DDRAW.DLL ....second error saying: a file from C:\Desktop\my file\wc3 model editor is not functioning
6. then ive got DDRAW.DLL at the system and copying it and placing it again at the folder of the model editor.
7. try to restart the computer
8. try again...and....f***:banghead: the error is still there

then thats the last of it
my wc3 TFT and ROC are not installed at my computer, i just copied it from my friend....maybe thats the problem

On your keyboard, open WE and press "Print Screen" on your keyboard, the abreviation is probably "Prt Scr"... Go to your WarIII directary and open the Screenshots folder, it should be created... Make sure after you take your screenshot, it says "Screen Captured.." Open the file up with Ifranview or something like that and save it as JPEG or JPG or whatever you want to reduce the file size... Then save it and then you can attach it as a thumbnail to this site... :D

for the love of god use Google, yahoo, ask jeeves, something. I swear i know its a Microsoft program but i don't keep tabs on where to download stuff. I literally typed in direct "x download" on Google and it was right there on about 2.9million pages!!

Gl with the modeling though. Ive never used that program so im no help.

It suspect it is because your RoC/TFT aren't installed.
Click to expand...
ahh....so thats the system requirements.......
is there another way to open the model editor even if i didnt installed ROC and TFT?
do you have DirectX installed?

i installed it from now, but still didnt work

what does DEXPORT does?
i downloaded one but it is not a program, and it chooses another program to open it

how can i open mdx files from GMAX, or any warcraft models that can be opened at GMAX?

I think it was something with your drivers..... D3D9 affects your drivers....

Try searching for Direct X9............ or maybe updating your video card drivers

mdx cant be directly imported. Now dexport is a export script for gmax. There is a tutorial on this sight right in the margin. It says Warcraft 3 Tutorials - modeling. That should give u info on dexport and gmax. Getting it into gmax, theres a process but i don't remember what it is sry. You might be able to use the same script but you may need a different one.

You wont be able to import directly as i said. What you will need is the converter (check the tutorial) that goes from .mdx to .mdl or .mdl to .mdx (it also does .blp and .tga i think). Then as a .mdl you can find a way to get it into gmax.

Try doing this Right Click My Computer -->> Properties... A menu will pop up... Click Hardware -->> Device Manager... Another Menu will pop up.. Now click on Display adapter and see if it has exclamation marks sign....

Another is by Looking at DXDIAG...
Click Start -->> Run... Enter DXDIAG..... A menu will pop up... Click to Direct X files and see if it has problems... If not.. click to Display and see if all DirectX features are enabled....

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
