MGM12188 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I just started with the Gta Sa moddeling. I have read many tut's so far and have one question for ALL of the tut's. I have a car model in 3DSMax used in VC... really nice! Anyway, before getting ahead of myself., I have to learn the CoL.'s for the models. QUESTION> Starting with the model, Why are they always made in "Sketchup", then exported to "3DMax". "3DMax" can do the same... can't it? Most tut's start of in "Sketchup". Then the VARIOUS ways of making the CoL.'s! For BASIC Collisions, which method should I use? Steve-M's CoL. Editor 2 (CE2)... Kam's MAXScript tools., ex. COL_IO_2B. >>>My Collision question is 'EXTREMELY' important b/c in my 3DSMax test model (a box)... There is NO Collision 2 begin with. Thank you for any... Help., I'll take what I can get.

Suction Testicle Man Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Bit confused as to what you mean here. SA has collision data for cars included in the dff model, therefore only buildings require their own col files. Your tutorials mention SketchUp as a lot of buildings are made in that program - whereas your car in Max will need a new object made for it should you be converting it. If at first you don't succeed, you fail, and the test will be terminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGM12188 Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 Hmm... Ok, After reading the various CoL.'s tut's I'm sure you can see the confusion I have with the Building and Car CoL.'s... So the car I have from VC only has the ".dff" for models & (i think) the ".txd" file for textures... UPDATE... Lol. I feel kind of embaressed. The car model is your Mercedes Benz S600 V12... I was so impressed with your moddel, by the way. But I wanted to put it in Gta Sa (Personal Use ONLY). I realized that the two games VC & SA are quite diff., So I was thinking of using the bare model and start from there., then creating the CoL.'s for san andreas and using diff. dummies -- Which if I understand correctly... The collisions and dummies are diff. in SA then in VC? Also, Assuming from what I read about various topics... i figured that your Mercedes Benz S600 V12 didn't come with a CoL. file., which is needed for VC? And didn't see any CoL.'s already in the .dff, so i assumed you didn't have one? Sorry about the confusion, I only wanted the model for personal use... seeing as how it will be a while til' I can create one up to par. And am trying to put it in Gta Sa --- If applicable... And if you will let me of course... Thank you... If you see any big details showing I'm going about this the wrong way., Would you mind pointing me in the right direction. Thanks.
