Yes this is the validator checking. and it uses regex so the problem cannot be local formatting.

It worked for me? Did you do anything else to that model? I need more details to figure out why it didnt work for you
I Will check the regexes

Try testing with more models. Before uploading it I tested with multiple models and it worked fine.

EDIT: updated with changed regexes

(Version 1)
I got no error, but I also got a .MDL with no geosets at all when it converted.

(Post-patch)
It works!
If you try opening the .MDX the tool creates on it's own with MdlVis, you'll get an error, but there's an easy workaround:
Open the .MDX with War3ModelEditor and export the Geoset from there for use in other models (Tested)

Updating my rating now - 4/5
Quick work man, thanks!

MilkShape 3D already has the ability to convert from obj to mdl. If your tool were to support directly converting FBX to MDL, it would be very powerful.

1. Milkshake cannot save to mdl. It can only import mdx. Magos editor can import mikshape models. You meant open obj wth milkshape, save as milkshape and import with magos editor. I used to do that until I made this app, and it shortcuts the process.
2. Batch convert vs single convert.
3. Saying "Your tool is kinda useless because there are others that can do that" is kinda rude dont you think?

I don't know my Milkshape can export to mdl or mdx and even with animations if done right.
I have been using it for years now.
You can get it from this thread:

Oh, I'm sorry, man. Please forgive my "rude" reply. Because my MilkShape 3D 1.8.5 really has the function of directly importing/exporting mdx/mdl (maybe with some plugins attached), so I wonder why you would make a tool like this. Indeed, your batch function is a unique advantage, thank you for your gives.
Speaking of which, have you ever thought about converting models from FBX format? After all, usually converting animated character models is a troublesome task.

Thanks for your suggestion! The program is complete as it is, and I don't have plans to add FBX support. If you're looking for a tool that handles FBX, you might want to explore other options.

The new version correctly converts some test models. Simple but useful
