[NTSTR]

I`m a 3dmax user, so I use GUI for tazpn's Command Line Tools, first get a FBX file, then convert to DAO`s file formats. After all this, I put all mesh files and texture files in my "F:\\\\Program Files\\\\Dragon Age\\\\packages\\\\core\\\\override", like this:



I ran my toolset to see it, but finally found out like this:



I hope someone can help me with...some experienced players can teach me how to deal with...all texture formats are obey this TUT http://social.biowar.../Textureformats

I set all textures fine in 3dmax before I export the FBX file, like this picture:



HELP ME PLZ!

they end up blue because they are unable to show the texture for some reason. I have a sneaking suspicion you are not aware you need a .mao file "between" your model and your texture?

Your model should reference the name found in the .mao (not the filename) and the mao should correctly reference the names of your texture files (.dds in a suitable format). Setting the maps in 3ds max will do precisely nothing unless you use chewy or eshme's scripts to generate the mao. Can I also suggest using eshme's tool, its much easier than the method you're using but probably wasnt available at the time that tutorial was written.

http://social.biowar...m/project/2336/

If you want to simply make the mao yourself, its not too hard. I suggest you open your toolset and use it to open Program Files\\\\Dragon Age\\\\packages\\\\core\\\\data\\\\materialobjects.erf and extract a material used for a weapon(ex.w_gsw_gs06a_0.mao). Copy and replace with the names of your dds files. Place with your other files in your override. Use the guide below to help you:

Let me know how you get on.

Thank you very much, man...so I fixed the mao file, and thing`s becoming nice...

but how I spawn my new weapon in game,, any debut code can be used in game just like NWN2?

[mikemike37]

the most elegant solution is probably make a new script which adds it to your inventory and call the script using debug console.

Thanks again, mikemike37! for guilding me all the way. 

I finally learned something today, and I made it to this



I am still working on it, if I have further questions, I`ll post here.... 

[mikemike37]

sure. and its looking very nice. well done

EDIT: oh and i see you're overriding the greatsword 6 variation to get your appearance in. it is possible to add it in a non-overriding way using 2da edits. this will ensure compatibility with other mods too. its mostly covered here:

[NTSTR]

I`ve already made a new greatsword 7 variation to get my new model in..Overriding the greatsword 6 was just a test run..



I`m gonna try the self-Illumination maps on this model, which was my favorite part when I was making NWN2 mod

[mikemike37]

ah ok. be aware that other modders might decide to name their files variation 7 and that you should use an ID in your variations sheet which hasnt been reserved here



http://social.biowar...tions_.28all.29



just so you know the emissive materials illuminate the texture only, they don't actually glow in any kind of fancy bloom way like they do in unreal engine or anything. you might like to play with crust VFX if you want that.

[NTSTR]

Problem`s still coming..
I want to use Eshme`s export tool to export my model(still a simple weapon model)..but I don`t know what`s this thing


"Available Game Object" has nothing to select, and failed to export without select one..

Modifié par NTSTR, 17 juin 2010 - 10:47 .

[Eshme]

Ohh max 7, im wondering if it works there ^^ Check the readme yet?

Your root object must be named GOB, GOB1, GOBwhatever. This is made to allow certain detections and calculations.

After that it should appear as a selectable Game object.

You can have many root objects appear in the exporter like that.



BTW i just saw u should update to version 5 if u can.

[NTSTR]

Now I have a root named GOB, then I guess I can get it...but everytime I export the model, it keep jumping out a window telling me "runtime error: replace end out of range: 28"??

[Eshme]

Unknown error. If possible can you tell how soon this error happens, ie as soon you hit the button, or how far in the progress is and what the progress sais if anything.



And maxscript may print the errorlog in the max listener, can you copy paste this to me in some form? And it also may open some script and mark the line ,can you show this line to me in some way?

[Eshme]

Hm i am wondering how the 28 could even happen. 28 letters?. You called it GOB withnothing else? What did you enter in the filename field? Something long?

[NTSTR]

I found the reason why it went wrong. I realized root name must not be "GOB", it have to be "GOB" add something like "GOB-111"...

so I exported model out, but I found no .mao file but a .met file? Does that mean if I`m using your v5 tool, I have to make a .mao file manually?

Modifié par NTSTR, 18 juin 2010 - 12:43 .

[Eshme]

Oh weird, it should work as GOB of course. I will look into it. Regardless, it works just as good like you did.

MAO export, you need up date to Version5. You have Version2.10
BUT, weapon material is not yet supported, i just uploaded Version5 give me abreak. Thus you may either write your own MAO or rewrite one.

MET file is metadata, required by the toolset.


Because of the error... would you sent me the information i asked for above. Listener log, and line in the script?

Modifié par Eshme, 18 juin 2010 - 07:23 .

[Eshme]

Well NTSTR? I cannot fix this error if you dont help me here lol

[NTSTR]

Here you go....full listener log when this error occured...

Oooh hehe that is the script not the listener. But the thickened line up there is helpful too.



I need the listener dump. This is opened by pressing F11 or by going (Menu mAxscript/Maxscript listener) or in the lower left corner right click. Can you still post this, this would help. It should meantion the error in red letters, and some big info about the error.
