    Compiling help

    in GR - Weapon Modding

    Posted

    Nice advertising harry ;D

    Anyways, I'm in dire need of help once again, so the kind souls that helped me the first time around would be mighty welcome to come around a second time :P

    My first issue is with the AN94. I was able to get the model ingame, but even though I have the texture properly named and in the right place, it always shows pure white/textureless ingame. I'm afraid it has something to do with the fact the default model also has a Gp25 in the texture flat due to the variant with a grenade launcher.

    Secondly, I've compiled the makarov, put the model and texture in the right places, yet it's still the vanilla model ingame. Is there a diferent proceadure for sidearms?

    And last but not least, is it possible to alter the amount of texture maps for models? Mostly for that An94 I mentioned and other weapons(such as the socom m4), we were planning to do the texture for these attachments in seperate flats.

    If you need me to develop on anything please tell me, if you think you can help me out please do post your thoughts. Thanks! ;D

    PS- Following harry's example, more eye candy of what I've managed to get ingame, all of these are complete :D

    it worked :D

    I did scale my model to a model I downloaded from this website, and it was supposedly vanilla's model, but now that you sent me the actual ak model I'm not shure it wasn't. What that caused was to have me do the scaling all wrong, and after re-scaling to yours I realized that the model itself was getting ingame, only it was a microscopic size. Many thanks for the help everyone, especially you Thales. :thumbsup:

    Thanks for the pointers tinker, I reset the system unit wich was in inches by default. However, that still didn't fix it. :(

    And while I truly appreciate your offer to compile yourself, we have lots of work ahead of us so it's preferable I'd learn myself instead of annoying you each time I wanted something ingame. To see if I can get out of this jam, could you give me an idea of your "workflow" to get a weapon model ingame? I'm somewhat fearfull it has something with the fact I'm using max5 while the author of the tutorial I referenciated to used an older version wich could have some variations in relation to 3dsm5

    I'm shure of it, but now that I think of it I'm not shure I have max's units to centimeters(in the actual unit setup for max, not in the export), I read a tut that mentioned that it should be set to meters(under metric ofcourse) rather than centimeters, but following logic I'm guessing I should use centimeters in max too? D: I'll give a go as of now

    Hello there totally rad people, my first post here and who'd guess, it's to ###### and moan rather contribute :P

    Ever since I started playing GR again recently, I decided that it's the perfect game to mod for, it has a great comunity and lots of stuff to fiddle with. Due to this I bunched with a few other modelers and texture artists I know and decided to give a start to my modding ideas. This project would be no more than a major face lift to the game's models and textures, however, I soon found a bump in the road.

    Before we began some more serious work, I decided to conduct some tests to kickstart the whole thing. I created a simple ground texture and put it in game, with sucessful results. Thus far everything was good, but when it came to working with models, with modelling itself being something unkown to me(the "team" consists of 2 texture artists including me, and 4 modelers, with 2 of them also doing textures.), and so I had to do some research to find out the in's and out's of compiling. I had to obtain 3DSmax5(I already own max9, but that wouldn't sufice), got the level exporter from the IT disk, but however, I missed the necessary plug-ins for importing/exporting models into and out of GR, since pretty much every link I found was dead.

    tl;dr

    Cutting to the chase, I'd like to know if anyone can spare me a link to the necessary plugins/files for 3dsm5, and if possible, some clarification as to how to compile replacements to the default weapons' models, rather than just adding new weapons.

    for the sake of human glutony and to peek the interest of the more cynical ones, here's a couple renders of the models we're working on.
