export custom dota 2 items into the game- wrong scale

Confrontation

hello,
i use autodesk Maya 2015. i created a helmet, bracer and a totem for earthshaker and wanted to Import the meshes into the game. For this step i used fbx. I deleted the history and freezes the transform and moved the Pivot to 0.0.0.
i skinned the mesh to the bones i had from the .ma file from steam. it worked all ok in Maya but than i exported it as a fbx-file into Dota.
n dota 2 was the mesh too big and scaled in the y axis.
Can someone help me pls?
How u Export ur models into dota 2?

Have you tried exporting into the game by .smd file format instead?

i dont have the Option to Export my models with smd and i should work with fbx. Do you know a plugin( that actually works) for Maya 2015 that allows smd Import and export?

Sorry I don't work with Maya

The files for Earthshaker that are on the website are like 20% smaller than the actual in-game model. You'll either have to decompile the actual files from the game or just scale everything up a little in your Maya file.

be sure to check the scale its 1 when importing the earthshaker model. if its not, change the unit when importing the fbx. Also some models valve provided on the workshop requirements page are outdated, you should decompile the ingame models and use their smd. Crowbar its great for decompiling stuff.

ty you all for your replies
i will try to decompile the gamemodels with crowbar.
and yes i checked the scale. i tryed to Export the model like 20 times.
Do you guys know a good smd plugin for Maya 2015?

Also make sure that every time you import your item, change the name of the imported file to something different to the previous ones.
