world editor missing functions?!

[kevinman4404]

I was trying to import a custom model for the first time when... I realized that when i went to file/, there was no import button. Hence there's no import editor in my version. Then I realized that there's nowhere to edit skills in this version.

I am SURE there's a LOT more i dont have but these are the most notable.

Is my version missing a MAJOR update or am I permanently devoid of these important functions?

Please help!

Isnt there this program starts with Win something... well anyway it allows you to import stuff into RoC

 

[lordloki]

WinMPQ

[The Helper]

So what did you get it fixed?

 

[Bartuc08]

i bought the battle chest dso i dont have this problem... w00t!

 

[kevinman4404]

I don't have Frozen Throne or the Batlle Chest and I won't have them in the immediate future

I'll look for that program tho.

 

[kevinman4404]

the program works but...

-how do i import .mdl model files into W3 WE (non-FT)
-how do i import spells/abils into W3 WE (non-FT)

i know its possible because DOTA uses new models and skills, and i doubt the models were .mpq

thank you

goin ta bed, will look tommorow

To reiterate, the makers of DotA probly have the frozen throne. And I'll bet they use WEU and stuff. I personally find importing a nightmare, so I save that for the very last step of my map.

you open your map up with mpq and import your files that way.

mdl/mdx is easy, just import and set the paths as you like.

importing spells and abilities is easy too, but making them in RoC is such a pain, you have to edit the slk data files. I'm not really sure its worth explaining, by the time I finished I would probably have a hernia.

nb: files need to be re-imported via winMPQ every time you save your map.
