Nice lamp sluggs! :thumb:
- angrypenguin, you need to go to "object-->export" and convert the an8 file to a .3ds Then from there, you use 3ds2bin. ;)

Converting requires a few applications. N3ds2e and BSP to turn .an8 into .bin.
You can actually convert a .an8 file? :confused:
-I gots a question for y'all. How do I import skins from thief? (like instead of using just a color from the materials editor?) :confused:

Just extract OBJ.CRF from the RES folder in your main T2 directory. You'll find them all in there.
You can't convert an .an8 file. It needs to be a .3ds file.
Thanks for all your comments Taffers' and thanks for using my objects. I'll be gone tomorrow.
I'll be baaaaaack! :sly: :thumb:

I'm confused... :confused: I should have specified, I was talking about importing skins into dromed.

Ahhh! :rolleyes: :laff:
Create a folder in your main T2 directory called "Obj" and in that create one called "Txt16" Pop your object in the Obj folder and your textures in the Obj/Txt16 folder
BTW, if you use any of the original T2 textures on your objects, then there's no need to create a Txt16 folder.

Oh i get it. You are saying to convert my 3ds to a bin file and then put it in my obj folder, and then the textures I want put into txt16...... ;)
So I'm guessing once in dromed, I would have to figure out how to connect those textures with my bin file. A sad bit o' news though. I tried to convert my eggplant_final.3ds to eggplant_final.bin with NV's version of 3ds2bin, and it failes to convert. :confused: Could it be the name, too many polygons as I was told about, or something missing? :confused:

Poly's dude. Waaaaay too many poly's! :eek:

Eh?
Nah! Your model should be fine in Dromed if everything's in it's correct place.
Before converting to a .bin file, you'll want to edit the .e file first...
Example1:
This was in the .e file when i converted my last model, the Lantern...
MATERIALS{
1,"material04",,TMAP "iron.gif",0,TRANSP 0;
2,"material03",,TMAP "red.gif",0,TRANSP 0;
3,"material02",,TMAP "white.gif",0,TRANSP 0;
4,"material01",,TMAP "WINPAIN.GIF",0,TRANSP 50;
Example2:
After editing...
MATERIALS{
1,"material04",PHONG,TMAP "iron.gif",0,TRANSP 0,DBL;
2,"material03",PHONG,TMAP "red.gif",0,TRANSP 0,DBL;
3,"material02",PHONG,TMAP "white.gif",0,TRANSP 0;
4,"material01",PHONG,TMAP "WINPAIN.GIF",0,TRANSP 50,DBL;
You'll want to add "PHONG" to your lines, insert it in-between the two comma's in each line. This makes the model look smoother in-game.
Looks daunting doesn't it? :sly:

Aha, I knew I was missing something here. I just had .3ds to .bin, nothing about a .e file

I'll try to give you that .an8 file as soon as I can. :thumb:

sluggs: There's no need Gort thankyou. It was just a suggestion for you. I'd like to see a new cart so i'll be making one myself. (I'll be basing it on a cart model from the game "Rune") You carry on making your own models.
:erm: Oh, I see. Well, I've got them done anyway. Who wants 'em? There are three types. (Well, two actually. Just that one is in the same position as that old cart model.)
GORT on 29/11/2004 at 16:04
Hmmm... Do you still want me to make some kind of compass model? I'll see what I can do. :)
