3D Studio Max 9 Statistics: C:/Users/Rooxon/Documents/3dsMax/export/testob.MD3: Frames: 1 Tags: 0 Meshes: 1 Mesh< Cylinder01 >: 140 Triangles, 72 Vertexes ( +144 verts for SmoothGroups, +3 verts for UV map ) Geometry Total: 140 Triangles, 219 Vertexes As we discussed, 2016 and 9 versions work. 2017 tho is another story. I created an object real quick with a UV map, exported as md3. All went fine up to this point, this is the statistics: C:/Users/Rooxon/Documents/3dsMax/export/fountain.MD3: Frames: 1 Tags: 0 Meshes: 1 Mesh< Cylinder001 >: 284 Triangles, 144 Vertexes ( +144 verts for SmoothGroups, +15 verts for UV map ) Geometry Total: 284 Triangles, 303 Vertexes After which I saved my scene, clicked X to exit 3ds max 2017 and got this error: After this, 3DS closed. So it's just a wierd message I get. Testing out the md3, it seems to have worked fine. EDIT: Testing out the original md3 exporter for 2017. First of all, the error does not appear if I just open max, load the scene and close it. So it's certainly due to the exporter itself.

So... I think you've either made a mistake somewhere in the changes from this version to the final one... or maybe you need to compile it with vs2015 as you said. EDIT 2: I don't get what happened but I replaced the standard version exporter with the LargeAddressAware one and no error for 3 times straight. Suddenly, it vanished.

almost forgot to mention you Ramikad. Guess what I'm playing as on server these days. Da Pumpkin Vine Monstah! Good sportsmanship you got there tho, respect. We certainly are!

I love Psyk0's Jason.. I adore Circ's Last Night and the Zombie Trooper is the most unique mod out of all of these. To be perfectly honest? I downloaded all of these mods, I especially like playing with the Bat chat icon. It was very hard to choose what I wanna vote for. At last I decided for Vaeyor - simply cuz I know it's Art's first saber release. And mine wasn't nearly as nice! It's a shame noone give's Smoo a thumbs up. I liked the idea of a super fast NPC meant to be a ghost. If it was me creating it however, I'd make it blindingly fast (so you literary can't follow it), make it transparent and make the red thingies on the texture glow (maybe?).

@@Archangel35757 the new plugin works simply perfectly. This foolproofness for the slasehs is all it ever needed. I idiotically just applied textures as diffuse bitmaps to models, standard material, exported and shaders and everything works in every instance, md3 and glm and LOD files. If you really want, I can post you the statistics here but it works for 2016 for sure. Gonna check 2009 and 2017 tomorrow. Tho I expect the same result, unless as you said you've done a mistake somewhere.

We're all here every day. Just join!

I kept the UV boundaries, yeah and a saber doesn't really need LODs as far as I know (none of the vanilla ones got them). I've done this just as a test, but if you wish I can do it with the e11 where there's huge drops of verts between LODs.

I've quickly tested them in-game. Shaders appeared on the LODs, tags are on the separate LODs and everything (i've loaded them separately as map objects onto a test map)! So, it works like a charm! <3

You will make my life and so many others so much easier. When it's done, I'll update my saber tutorial and make it shorter thanks to that!

I've just tried out the 2.2 exporter on a skull map object for Circa's Haloween map. First I applied the texture with a standard material: To make sure, I also named the material as models/map_objects/lastnight/skull.png I exported to the same folder, so, models/map_objects/lastnight/ - I very much like the look of this now I'll be testing the LODs soon. Statistics: Everything seems to be in order, the texture later shows in md3view! Regarding those problems of mine with shaders not working, I've set my system's language to english by default and restarted; testing out now.

Holy mother of Kyle, this took a while to read. I'll check out some of the downloads but to answer your question; yes, every weapon is gonna get recreated by me. You could add DT's Kyle Reskin. I use it myself and I think that it's an improvement in every sense of the word.

Hohohohohoh. ^^ Already got the PERFECT idea! ^^ Soon, people are gonna fear you in JKA!
