Gimme a model and its texture and I'll try to create normal and specular maps. Sometimes it's pretty easy. Also, what's in alpha channel of d3 textures?
I had an issue with one my female human when I started doing more hair styles. For some reason it just decided that it no longer wanted to allow certain meshes to be shown or hidden.
At first I couldn't get it to even let me preview it in the editor. I went down the list and found that there was something wrong with your Hide Hair 1.dds. After changing that everything seems to work for me. I was able to preview it and commit to a mod. Let me know if it's still not working after checking out that texture.
I switched your Hide Hair 1.dds, to my version of it.
Other than that I saw nothing else wrong with the file.
I've been doing the WoW model conversions that allow near full Wow customization within sc2. Panderans are on my to do list. They will be more complicated than just a simple model as you will need to attach weapons shoulders and helmets in game though. Although you can have 100s of combos with texture swaps too.
I only see one attachment point in your screen shot. The rest might not have exported with it, so you may have to do that again. You can always try just linking it to the bones instead.
It can be done quite easily. The annoying part is creating the footprint in SC2 so they don't walk through the wall. I couldn't get it to work with this model for some reason so I gave up on it.
Congrats on getting exposure on your mod. I guess from now on I'm posting stuff on teamliquid...shit, 120k views almost already?
Filesize is a huge issue with your mod though. I would seriously suggest finding ways to reduce the size. Converting sounds to .ogg and using .dds textures rather than .tga.
Add team colors to models by editing textures. The team glow is painful on non-heroes. I even have a guide on how to do it.
Structure team colors are quite bright. Tone down the specularity and download my roof textures.
Wireframes could be improved. Middle row that is white are an example of what can be done.
Overall, I like the idea and get all of the hard work you've put into this. There's still quite a lot you can do. However, my biggest attraction were the spells you have. The models to me feel like they were just hastily thrown together.
The texture is correct but you only need one material for each mesh. You dont need a show and hide in 3ds max, just a show OR hide. You swap the texture in starcraft.
I can't view the model right now but the Stand Ready animation should be working. Unless I made a spelling mistake. I didn't put a stormstrike animation on the model either, you might be mistaking it for the deathstrike one.
Ready is group applied/removed whenever any weapon starts/stops attacking. This is already on most actors I've seen, if it is not, it will NEVER use the ready animation. It looks like this.

There is a dyeing system in D3 that lets you change the colors of your armor. I assume it uses the alpha channel to do it.

Likely used to do dying like SC2's team colors.

I'll check it out when I get time.

Got the importer to work. Got what looks like all the bones, helpers, and mesh.
You have the animations part in the works?

What he said. 7.0.6 crashes 100% of the time on .m3 export.

Pretty cool, might want to do this with WoW models if I can figure it out.

I would suggest using the actors tab in the data editor to play animations, not triggers.
