I made my own model in Gmax (RenX) yesterday, and got the model ingame today. It is a replacement for the stealth fighter, and I only changed the graphics of the stealth fighter via .INI editing, and placing the converted w3d file into the art/w3d/ folder.

Now when i make a stealth fighter in game, The model shows up fine... But the textures I added to the model don't appear!? What format do the textures have to be in, and how do I make them show up ingame?

They have to be in the *.tga format, and you need to put them into the art/textures/ folder. You just need to assign them in gmax and then dump them there, and it should show ingame.

actually, .DDS format is preferable... lot smaller and smaller footprint...

Thanks, I had the textures in a .bmp and .jpg format, Ill have to convert them, I'll see if it works

[Rybolt]

Works all fine now

Yeah, but its best to use tgas for gmax, as it can only read tgas, if i am not mistaken.

yeah, just use tga's when youre skinning the model, once the model is exported, resave the skin file as a dds.

Even though the filename is still going to be a TGA, if the is a DDS of the same filename, then the generals engine will read that file first.

ya, i just use 3dsmax for my work usually, so it reads both..
