Need Tutorial on editing vehicles in 3ds Max

Post by cain532 »

Well I have this mod I'm trying to do for a movie where I am putting the main driver view from the longsword inside the cockpit so you can view t hings as though you were actually sitting at the controls. I've found out that I have to import the gbx model using the runscript command in 3dsMax, and I found the node that I have to move.

Thats as far as I've gotten, I don't know how to export it, I've added the exporter plugin and everything, it just doesn't want ot export. If someone can help me I would appreciate it.

i think you're just not taking the exported data from your listener window and saving it

when you export the file it goes to your listener window and you must copy it to notepad or some other plaintext text editor and save it

When I export it, there is an error message that says "No geometry selected" and then "Export failed"

I installed the BlitzKreig exporter for 3dsMax 7, it gives me the option to export the model as a .jms file, but it just won't go through with it! at first I thought it was because I used a script to import a .gbx model, so I found another script that would export a .gbx model as a .jms, that script was called JMS_Exporter_V1-0-1. I'm afraid I don't recall where I downloaded that one but it says it is used for 3dsMax >.<

i was just curious because i've not gotten that error ever, Crypticfarm

there, i spelled your name right, that wasn't so hard was it?

edit: this is really bothering me.

there aren't exactly mobs of halo ce modders willing to troubleshoot problems all day, so i find it a little disturbing that you'd say something like that, which really discourages people from trying to help others. i'm not experienced with modding, but i thought the general idea here was that this is a community where people help eachother if they ask for it.

Well, you could have at least don't some research before you made that decision. That answer was in the HEK tutorial. Im sure if you looked it up before, it would save him the trouble of trying tons of exporters if I didn't correct you.

i never told him to try other exporters, i asked him what exporter he was using.

please don't assume i'm one of the people who comes to forums just to get what he or she wants. i download many tutorials and have spent hours searching forums (it's actually possible here due to the better than average spelling) i've read the hek tutorial though i confess only certain parts multiple times.
