[Guide] Complete Guide To Custom Models

[V1cinity]

Glitchy, I first would like to say that you did a very nice job on the race to race app and the weapon/armor swap app. They rock!

I've heard that you have a ingame model editing app that you are testing... :O

Could I try it out? I would love to criticize and help out on the development of it.

great guild but could you give an explanation on how to convert an M2 file to a Max file?

And if you did have it in there could you point out where it was because I couldn't see it.

[Hazshadow]

Sorry if this seems stupid but how do you get the MPQ into the game? I can't even get other peoples models to work ingame, I'm not sure where to put it

This guide does not convert m2 to 3ds or m2 to max as that is the complete opposite of what this guide would be trying to accomplish. I don't have the link on me but there is a 3d max script that converts m2 to 3ds files just use the search feature on the site it is here some where.

That is what i did and not working:
Extract *.m2 from common.mpq (huF, neF, and beF from expansion.mpq), with MWCS .10
save it in D:
run modelinjector from D:\modelinjector\
open m2, select *.m2 file, M2 to OBJ
wait to two times 100% and done
open 3DSMax
import the new created *-model.obj file with all fields cleared (unchecked), cloning your screenshot
it appears a log window (i think) which says
-Object import stats
--commands
----unknown commands 0
----unsupported commands 0
--geometry
----identical vertex index in face 0
----identical points in face 4919 (a big number always)


and it appears a thing like this http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7563/naamloosxg9.jpg

i have installed software
3DSMax8 and 3DSMax2008 trial,
J2SE RE 5
.NET 1.1 and 2.0
XNA
SDK
ATI Omega
Ageia PhysX 7

what is the bad point?

[pepepacu]

great, it is only needed to change your system language to English (USA) and the injector works properly

I already made my first modif

Hey Glitchy love your guide it's great, I'll be sure to credit you once I've gotten completly started with custom models. Now if you don't mind I got abit of a problem. I followed your guide but skipped the UV mapping part (I'm broke at the moment :P ), but for some reason the model doesn't show ingame, would this be because it doesn't have a UV map at all? Would appreciate it if you could help me out, thanks man.

Glitchy, on my item there seems to be a texture on it already, just a basic default colouring(when I click on material editor and browse from active slot it says 01- Default Standard), how can i get rid of this?

[Sprackle]

It seems to happen as whenever I export my model to .3ds, it creates a texture automatically for it (TEXTURENAME.bmp)
