Eliminating Footprints

I am trying to get rid of the footprints. Shrinking down the size of units doesn't change the size of their footprints and to solve my problem I think I'd rather eliminate the footprints altogether. So I was wondering what I could do that would solve that problem. I have tried importing an edited SplatData.slk file only to have War3 crash every time it tries to load my file with the SplatData.slk file replaced (giving it the directory it would need to have to replace it in the MPQ file). So, if someone knows a good way to fix this, I'd appreciate help with that.

There is a texture file with all the footprints. Just make it black and alpha alpha alpha..

ReplaceableTextures\Splats\Splat01Mature.blp

You have to remove the footprints from the models.

I have looked into this and as others before me have discovered, the footprints aren't part of the model at all. They are part of a separate file that Uberplayer points out.

So then, with the texture file, I don't know how to wipe it. I'm not familiar with model programs and editing them. Plus I don't understand your directions.

I'll do it. Import this and change the path to "ReplaceableTextures\Splats\Splat01Mature.blp".

That's a 17 kb file, just use an empty text file and change the path to "ReplaceableTextures\Splats\Splat01Mature.blp". It'll be 0.1 (or somewhere around there) kb instead of 17.

I use text files for eliminating pinging and warcraft 3 doesn't crash... It might be different with footprints, not sure. Testing.

E: Okay, yeah, don't use what I said. It gives a 'game not found' error, not sure what's so different about footprints and pinging that does this.

Does Uberplayer's method eliminate the footprints of all units? Cause I don't want that for my map. I also have no idea how to follow his instructions...

Is there any unit that doesn't leave footprints? Then I could just base my custom unit on that unit. If not, does anyone know which unit has the least conspicuous footprints?

If you want to specific footprints I suggest you read a tutorial on how to use alpha layers to create transparency. There's plenty of skinning tutorials and it's essentially the same thing.

    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
