w3d- many problems

RatAss · 08-20-2003, 03:48 PM

I know a lot of people have been having trouble converting w3d to gmax using the w3d.ms...

Im on 56k and downloading RenX (23mb) is like unblocking a toilet with a pair of false teeth... need I say more?

Does anyone on this forum... out of the thousands of you proffesionals here have any idea whatsoever on how to get w3d.ms working properly (or any other download that isnt too taxing on a 56k modem)?????????

is it flybys importer? if so, you need to load max script, then click on the tools tab (the hammer) then scroll to the bottom, select the importer from the list, and you are ready to go

... now in english

Yes, I belive he released a new version that does do anims, if that's what you were asking. Maybe it was someone else, but I know its out there

Im having the same trouble, maybe when I get a full nights sleep Ill see the problem and go DOH =/

Its in the readme

To run the script:
--Copy "w3d.ms" to your "gmax\gamepacks\Westwood\RenX\scripts\startup" directory
--Load RenX
--Click the "Utilites" button on the right-side bar (top right of the screen, looks like a hammer)
--Click "MAXScript" in the rollout that appears
--Select "W3D -> gmax Importer" from the drop down list of Utilities
--Scroll down to see the W3D Importer tools

..ugh.

Keep trying to open it, for some reason it doesn't always open first try ( or second, or third, or forth, you get the picture ) but it does open eventually I'd give up after about 10 tries

you know, kuja got it right, so follow him. I also got it right, but no one noticed

If you follow kujas advice, you will get it to work every time
