deleyt 0 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 You probably haven't installed the .rsb plugins and the mapeditor-plugin. Do that first. Read HERE and read the level-builder.pdf. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Biro 0 Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 I recommend going through some tutorials and learn the basic before you try to use Max for modding GR, sound like you lacks a bit on that stuff there. Personally I went trough most of them, then I tryed to make some own self made objects, and then the time had come for GR. Took a couple of months to do it...but it pays off.

What is exactly your problem? Opening a file or exporting it? Both are different as they are a different format. Opening a file would normally have to be a .max-file. Exporting your work would require the .rsb plugin and it would export it in the .map format. And as a pointer when you post on a forum: use punctuations and a new line for each sentence. It's much easier to read for us and help you in turn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SST_Sparky 0 Posted March 13, 2004 Author Share Posted March 13, 2004 well what i wanted to do is to open original gr maps and woepons and such and to have a look to see how there are made and then edit them to play around with and eventually create my own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dekela 0 Posted March 13, 2004 Share Posted March 13, 2004 well what i wanted to do is to open original gr maps and woepons and such and to have a look to see how there are made and then edit them to play around with and eventually create my own. as posted by IF_GRT, you can't open the file's that come with GR, they need to be max or 3ds. the chr file's are available for download from piggyson's site ( i think) as well as some of the wep's cheers......

Dannik 43 Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 If you don't want people telling you what you can't do, stop asking a question where the only answer is 'you can't'. Creating maps is a one way process. Author creates map, then exports it to GR. There is no way to go backwards, unless you already have the 3dsmax source. Like it or not, once a map, weapon or character is exported from 3dsmax, into a format that can be used in Ghost Recon, you cannot take that file and import it back into 3dsmax. Don't like to hear the word can't? Fine. Here's how to open the original GR maps/weapons/characters in 3dsmax: 1. Phone Red Storm Entertainment. 2. Tell them you really, really want the original 3dsmax files. 3. After they say no, obtain blueprints for the RSE headquarters. 4. Break in late at night, and locate a computer that has the original Max files on it. 5. Steal `em. 6. Escape unnoticed into the night. Clear enough? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
