Hi!
I'm making my very first map with WE. It's a Hero Defense map.
Here is the problem:
After attempting to create my picture-based model on 3ds, and get no results, I went looking through a bunch of models to see if I could find what I needed. Basically I need about 20 custom models fitting my wishes, but once again, I failed on that too.
So, my last resource, I picked a basic model with a blp texture so I could edit it. I edit model with Vertex Mod and texture with PS CS3, which I feel more confortable with.
As I want to use the same base model for every Hero in my map, my problem is that I don't know how to deal with the models name. Since the base model is a custom model I've downloaded, I don't know how to import it and use it multiple times, slighty edited for every Hero (I suppose changing models names doesn't work).
Is there any solution to this ? Withouth picking several models.



My second question, for a future situation, can I code a Spell to require a Hero to hold an item on inventory in order to cast it ?



Thanks in advance, I'm basing all the map on this forum's tutorials and they're very great. As you may see, english is not my mother language so excuse me if I made some mistakes. And excuse me again if there were a thread with the info I needed, as I didn't know how to search for it.



Bruno.

can someone help me please ? i'm stuck here.

where can i tell the model the skin it should use ?
I have my custommod1.mdx, i want to copy it to custommod2.mdx, but i want each of those to have a different texture, and then import each to a different hero, but i don't know how can i change the 'references' they uses.
sorry if i didn't get you the first time


i mean, my custommod1.mdx already has custommod1.blp as skin, which i modified, but then i want to use AGAIN the same model, with a different texture (and i am editing the models too with Vertex Modify, so basically i don't want to search for 20 similar models and edit them, just want to make all from one only)

try converting the custommod2.mdx to .mdl and open it in notepad. look for custommod1.blp and change it to whatever, like custommod2.blp

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    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.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    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
