@@Circa -- oops... looks like I forgot to add the PHYSIQUE.LIB to the Max8, Max9 plugins... will need to recompile them.

Update: I've recompiled and uploaded the 3ds Max 9 (Win32) dotXSI 3.0 Exporter... it's awaiting approval. Currently working to update the 64-bit version (which should remain offline until I get it updated with the latest code changes). @@Psyk0Sith -- will you be able to test out the Max9 64-bit version for me?

Like @@katanamaru said... I would like to see it where you can give orders to NPC's-- much like how SOCOM Navy Seals works.

Of the handful of people who have downloaded this plugin-- has anyone tested it in-game yet? I'm still waiting on @@Szico VII for his test map...

@@Circa... how about a as well?

So how many polys will your LOD0 mesh be? How many LODs are you planning to have? What's your workflow for creating LODs?

@@DT85 -- I have an Autodesk subscription for maintenance, etc. on my 2014 license. So I just created a tech support case.

Autodesk has provided me a download link for the 3ds Max 2009 SDK and Visual Studio Integrated SDK Help for 3ds Max 2009.

You should post a brief tutorial.

@@eezstreet -- is it not a coordinate transformation just like I posted in my "...fixing the dotXSI exporter" thread? Softimage is Y up... so shouldn't be a problem for Softimage. Max is Z up.

I believe its lower case b

No that's not quite right... the Skelton in 3ds max uses the prefix "bolt_" and carcass converts that to *

In the 3D Apps shouldn't tags be properly named: bolt_<whatever> ??? Just asking.

@@Caelum -- It works now!

@@Caelum -- why is this happening? It wasn't doing this the other day...

No, I still cannot upload. It appears to upload... the upload progress bar gets full and then it just times out. I switched to the old style upload and that is where I get confirmation the session timed out.

Nope, it loads... the bar is full and then times out.

So how does this look? I suck at Photoshop...

Standby... I'm going to update the about logo per @@minilogoguy18 's suggestion.

Compare to COD...

Rather then green rectangles... try making menu text letters glow with green border.

Better Squad tactics: Did you ever play Rebellion's Sniper Elite or Sniper Elite V2? The AI was really, really good... the AI squads would use real military tactics-- some would hold your attention directly in front of you (they'd seek cover when you shoot at them-- run crouched down minimizing their bounding box, crawl, lay prone, etc. And when they found cover that would shoot back at you: either prone, crouched behind rubble, or standing behind broken walls... then-- they'd try and hold your attention while other members of the squad would stealthily move to flank you. Some would throw grenades from cover. They would provide cover fire while their team moved to flank you. And the AI snipers were really tough... moving positions after taking a shot.

Some AI Improvements that I would like to see are: (1) better squad tactics, (2) Seek and shoot from cover (rather than stand out in the open)

Where were you a few days ago? Well, it's still called "Softimage" and the extension is still "XSI"... so I think it still works-- plus I've already submitted it.
