Never exported a vehicle in there, but that's probably what you need yes.

And what I need to do in 3ds Max?

 

How to convert a model car for GTA SA?

I have a problem with a textures. When I created model, I save it from google sketchup to .3ds file.

 

Then, I import it to 3DS MAX, I do all these stuff and export him.

 

Then I make a colission file, and save it. Now how to make textures? What I should need to do?

 

Where do I know for textures? Some help? alien.gif

You'll need TXD Workshop, create a new TXD and keep adding your textures in there, give them the same name they have on the file.

Found that Gmax doesn't export to .3ds format. I wanna put an SA car in Sketchup and make sure that I have my object to scale, but I can't! Advice?

I followed the steps exactly as described in the tutorial however the building i have put in the game does not appear. I have scaled it down to size, hell I made it too small!! but still visible but in the game it does not a appear and i am wondering why. it appears in the mapper but not in the game.

I cant get this to work at all. I'm trying to do it with a simple block but it just wont work. It does not show in MED and GTA just crashs at half way loading if i add the entries to gta.dat. I'm so annoyed that this wont work. Ive spent like the last 5 hours messing with this trying all different things but nothings working. HELP!

Wondering if someone can help me but this is vague at best. Exported from Sketchup, imported to 3DSMAX, vertex prelighitng down, exported to DFF and COL, built the TXD. Rebuild GTA3.IMG with IMG Tool. The Imported to IPL/IDE thingy with MEd. Fired up San Andreas, works as normal, travel to object location, I can see it all perfectly etc, but then as I get closer the game crashes...thoughts anyone?!

How many polys does the object has?

I got it working uNi but the issue now is invisible walls. Seems a common problem though :v:

Make sure before exporting in Sketchup you don't have purple surfaces, that's likely to be your problem.

Yeah I've made sure of that one too, it's certainly this invisible surface issue that plagues SketchUp.

Objemin içine girmek istediğimde beni birşeyin engellediğini farkediyorum ama orada hiç bir şey yok ama kapıdan gemiyor

 

Nesneye girmek istediğimde bir şeyin beni engellediğinin farkındayım, ama orada hiçbir şey yok
