Heroes M3 To Sc2 M3 Converter
This is an small tool which will allow you to downgrade Heroes of the Storm M3 models to the version used by Starcraft 2.
It works in most models but not all (haven't found an exception for lastest version).
How to use: 1 drag m3 files into the program. A window will pop up with all the strings inside the m3 file. Use that info to find the correct textures you need.
Other method: run on command line. Use the ' -c' option to avoid pausing.
- Fixed for lastest patch
NOTE! Use this tool with CASC View or any other updated CASC extractor. I've recieved reports of people having troubles because they extracted corrupted models.
NOTE 2! I've heard reports of the tool failing on some "models" that were extracted with some of these programs. If you try version 1.06 and no strings were printed then that means that your model is corrupted. It's most probably an error on configuring CASC View to extract your models.
1.02: Now works with lastest patch! Tested on Azmodan, Anub arak, Nova, Barbarian and Nexus Charger. Note: Heroes with cloth physics won't animate correctly.
1.03: Fixed some bugs on 1.02. Stiches is now converted correctly.
1.04: Fixed Illidan. Updated compiler. The tool should now work with newer versions of windows.
1.05: Another try on fixing for Windows 8.
1.06: Tested and fixed on windows 8.
Note: make sure to add it in a folder where any tool can save files without permission (Example: My Documents/Mis Documentos/Meinen Dokumenten).

Posted Oct 13, 2015Those this mean you will be posting soon a working mod? Please keep us update. Thank you and GL.
I've been able to do it but using 2 mods instead of 1.
The idea is to create an empty mod that only depends on Sc2:Core. Afterwards use casc view to extract all the assets in storm:heroes:assets:base. Now use an MPQ Editor to extract the files from the sc2mod you made on the same folder where you extracted the assets files. All files except (attributes) and (listfile), then use the MPQ Editor to reconstruct an MPQ from that folder and save it over your mod. This will generate the proper mod file. You can also extract enUS files of the mod and insert them into the Sc2 enus folder (they use a different setup)
For data editor same process but when creating the mod, add a dependency to HeroesAssets.

Which makes me wonder if Blizzard will release an easy way to export all these to the editor anyways, but as long as you're using the Galaxy Editor it should work. Which models are you looking for?

It depends on the model. So far the only Zeratul one that works is his ultimate (master) skin. His base or his others do not. With that being said. All the newer models seem to work. Kael'Thas. Crusader. Sylvanas. Jaina. I haven't tried the Lost Vikings, but Chen works. These are their base skins. I haven't had time to transfer them all. Trying to fix their animations as I go one at a time. I'll check the models you're looking for and tell you if I get them or not.

All models work except the original ones. Test Kael'Thas or the Crusader. If those don't work for you then you aren't extracting them correctly. Do their base first. I know all of Abathur's skins work as well.

Are you talking about the attacks of Hero of the Storm heroes? And also are you referring to death animations for the heroes as well?
To my knowledge (correct me if I am wrong), but Heroes of the Storm have different animation properties than what Starcraft 2 actors are used to - reasons you get a stop and go animation for each attack. It's an easy fix and you are still able to have it randomly select an attack (in example Jaina has around 7 different attacks).
As for death animations I'm pretty sure they do not have any - I haven't found or seen anything on it. You have to give them their Ragdoll death.
