Some Little Questions You'll Like To Answer To.

[Martz]

Hi guys !

As I said in the other thread, I haven't touched the WE for about 5-6 years, so, I'm pretty rusty...

So here's a few EASY questions I'd probably be able to find on tutorials or by searching on the forum, but I guess it won't take you long to answer, so, here we go !

1- How can u delete the glow under a hero ?

2- I'm making a hero in a form of a crow, but when I choose Medivh it comes in the human form. How can I switch to crow ?

3- hmm, thats it for now...

So thank you guys, have a great day !

1: This is only possible, if you edit the model.

2: Slip in the String "Alternate" in the animation spot.

3: Guess I'm done? #2 may need some tweaking.

1- So you mean I have to skin it ? I'm currently having problems to run my custom skins... I do exactly as the toturials (ex : http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/skinning.php) says, but when I restart WE it says : could not load ..........

2- Nice, thx !

Ne1 could help me with the skinny part

 

[Renendaru]

All you have to do is start up a model editor, open model found in the archive war3x I think, then remove the particle emitter for the glow.

 

[Martz]

Particle emiter ? I dont understand.

Are you referring at when Im skinning in PSD, or... ?

 

[Cheesy]

I think he's referring to the actual model, not the skin. To remove the glow I think you have to find a model editor and open up the models for Warcraft III and edit them there.

I thought I read somewhere that you could remove the glow with a function in JASS. I could've been wrong though.

 

[Martz]

Wow... not a simpler way anyone ?? ... it should be an option in the unit editor...

Or if someone has done it before, could you explain me ?

and also :

3- My hero has the crow form, but his face (the small screen where ppl talk) is still medivh's human form... how can I change that... Thx guys !

 

[Renendaru]

You can't I think, his transformation is to an alternate, not an actual model.

 

[Martz]

So its impossible to have a crow ? I cant beleive that ! would it work with DotT in crow form ??

 

[Renendaru]

The way they do it is probably having a custom model, made with the crow form only.

 

[Farplane]

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but if you just want a hero with the model of a crow, just go to unit editor, create a new unit based of a hero, and edit the game model to what you want.

 

[Renendaru]

He's talking about Medivh's crow form, you get to this by throwing in the alternate string in their animation area, as far as I know he's talking about how to transmit from it while showing his crow form, and not his face.

 

[Martz]

Yeah cause now I have a hero the shape of a crow (its what I want) but his face in the little screen is still medivh's (its not what I want).

 

[Fluffball]

1.) I'm sure there's a section in Gameplay Constants or Gameplay Interface for hero glow. I think the path is Hero Glow.mdx

2.) What bout using Night-Elf Druid of the Talon Storm Crow?

 

[Sirroelivan]

Check night elf raven form / bear form if it changes there?

 

[Martz]

Yeah it works with the DotT in storm crow, but the crow is not as cool (its purple instead of black) but I guess it'll do the job for now. Normally it would be very easy to skin it but I don't uderstand why I simply can't upload a new skin ! it says can't fin de skin for xxxxxx (whatever model)... I'm doing exactly whats written in the numerous tutorials, but it won't work !

For medivh, the fact is, we never see his "crow form little screen", its only used in cinematics. So I guess its why they didn't do his "crow form little screen"...

So, this problem is solved (altho i'd prefer to skin the crow cause purple sucks )

For the glow, could u be more specific on the gameplay constant/interface ? thx

 

[Martz]

Ok well, for the glow, I must edit the model, I've read some tutorials... but I failed to find a MPQ browser that works (or that I must not download VB4, etc etc...) so I just gave it up. I guess I'll keep the glow...

Thx guys ! watch out for my new series of questions !
