blender-mdl's Issues

Read material data

Implement a new handler for this.

Correctly setup materials

The data gathered from #4 should be use to correctly setup the materials in Blender.

Store additional data as properties

Store data gathered from #3 and #4 which can't be used in Blender as properties inside the .blend file. This way they won't get lost.

Import vertex normals

The vertex normals already are imported, but they aren't used yet. I'll have to experiment with Blender's API to find out how to set the normals manually.

Import UV coords

Well, the title is a bit missleading. In fact, the UV coords already are imported, but they need to be used in Blender.

Failed to import textures coordinates fully

Hi everyone. I used a tool to convert WC3's .MDX to .MDL:
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/tools-560/mdlx-converter-62991/

The textures is wrong (Please see the attachments)

I also tried to install the warblender addon but I failed many times.
I don't know why. I followed the instructions here:
https://gitorious.org/wc3lib/warblender/source/40339571c14ff1c047b9121b5fd0094341158dde:INSTALL

Could someone please help me to import WC3 models to blender?
I just need the mesh and textures.
Thank you.

Attachment:

1. The model opened in War3 Model Editor.
   
2. That model imported to Blender (I manually reapplied the textures in Blender (it contains 2 objects I assume)

Import error (partly?)

Warcraft 3 models load, but with this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

face[0]][1])
AttributeError: 'MeshTexturePoly' object has no attribute 'uv1'

Read the Model block

Read (and use) the information contained in the Model block.

Implement a new handler for this.

Mesh errors

I've imported a character 3d mesh and it turned out like this:

Any suggestions?

Error message when trying to import *.mdl file

I Installed the addon using "Install addon" button on the "User Preferences" window, then opened the *.py file for "Blender-MDL"

I enabled the addon on the "Addons" tab in the User Preferences Window. Now it shows the option "File>Import>WarCraft MDL (.mdl)"

I tried it using file "twilightsparkle.mdl" from "Garry's Mod" downloaded from http://www.equestriadaily.com/2011/07/garys-mod-ponies.html

But got Error output and I got nothing (no vertices, no faces) imported on my scene:

What am I doing wrong? Is there something missing on my Blender installation?

Thanks for your attention

P.S. my laptop config:
Dell Inspiron 15R N5110, intel core i7, 8GB RAM DDR3, Intel HD Graphics, HD 640GB, Linux Xubuntu 12.04 64bits.

BoundsRadius

Create a circle object from the 'BoundsRadius' key. Afaik determines this radius the small circle below a selected unit in WarCraft.

Restructure code for better readability

Give objects a proper name

The data gathered from issue #3 should be used to give the imported objects a proper name, e.g. ModelName0 instead of Geoset0.

Possibly import textures

The script probably should search the model file's directory for the textures referenced by the MDL, but in a formate known by Blender (e.g. texture.png instead of texture.blp). If there is such a texture file, the script should import it and load it into the correct materials.

error adding addon

I get the following errors when I try to enable addin on blender 2.68

Review code to improve performance

Does the rewrite branch work?
