Hello, guys, I'm the leader of developers of this mod for Warcraft 3. Our mod is total replacement of wc3 models with using materials from WoW. We have replaced more than an half of the models in it. Now we want to convert our mod to SC2, but it to hard to convert one model from wc3 format to sc2, so we need your help, If someone can create a mdx-m3 convertor, we shall finish converting of our mod to sc2 soon. and of course it is a hard process to convert m2 files to mdx, if you'll help us with these two problems, it will be really cool. thanks for your attention

Hi,

your project is really amazing
Do you hve some site where we can find a little bit more informations ?

We haven't start yet any investigation for SC2 models support.

From what I saw during m personnal search, there is a libm3 project on google code, with a lot of explainations about this format...

How do you convert m2 to mdx files for now ? Do you do it manually or do you have some piece of code for that ?

[Escapist]

here is the information http://www.sc2mapste...t-it-on-sc2/#p1 there are links on other sites, but for the beginning go to this. If you can create a convertor, soon you'll have "Warcraft IV" on starcraft engine ) we use 3dsmax or mdlvis to convert old m2 format (wow classic, bc)

Well.. I think u mean , m2 to mdx ? ye ?

We got a community dunno if you're a member but I think so since the project is there aswell ? dunno if same but here u go :

I am a ripper also so I convert and animate wow models in warcraft

[Escapist]

I also mean about mdx to m3 convert. cause we want to make our mod on sc2 too. it is much more simple to click on the button "convert" than to do much work in 3ds max

Actually, WMV right now, has an WoW-To-Starcraft exporter. The M3 model exporter will convert a lot of awesomeness into a Starcraft 2 compatible file. chuangsing needs to fix it for attached items, like shoulders & weapons, but it seems to work!

[Escapist]

You don't understand, we have already adapted lots of WoW models to RTS style, added teamcolour, added many things that can not been founded in wow, so m2-m3 exporter can not help us. If you'll create a mdx-m3 convertor soon you will see Warcraft on new engine

[Jeromnimo]

We won't create such an exporter soon. mdx is an old format for blizzard game (in fact, ancestor for m2 and m3). We have a lot of work planed for next generation of WMV software, and, starting from v0.8.x versions, it should be easier to add any kind of exporter. Maybe someone will have time at this moment to develop a mdx exporter for WMV...

[Escapist]

I know, but if you'll do mdx-m3 converter soon you will see a kind of warcraft 4 on sc2 engine, and of course you will be first betatesters and your names will be in credits, I promise. Help us please, I think that you want new real good warcraft strategy game. At first we shall remake Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne. After that we shall create campaignes based on WoW storyline.

Sorry for necroposting, but i was wondering, can any of you guys make a mdx or mdl exporter for the Future WMV, this could be awesome, we are a lot of users who want to use WoW models for Warcraft 3, we even create awesome maps, movies and etc,

Here is some work of a friend of mine : http://www.youtube.com/user/Intaanis?feature=watch , he have created new awesome models using the wow models who are exported for the wc3 , all this models will be used for a machinima but, this are not enough, we want to rip/export more models from your awesome WMV, but we cant, because 3ds max sometimes export the models bugged, So, i beg you guys to create a mdl or mdx exporter, This Will help aaaa lot off users in our forum,

Thanks,
