If there are ready-made examples and descriptions of the structure, then there are no problems

You have a PM.

is still stable or may contan bugs?

may contain errors, but I correct them right away

A little bug there.Both are png type.I think one should be tga.

Correction of this script was done by another person. You can easily return the old script from the kams script.

 

By the way, I wrote my version of map io. It exports only IPL (inst) and IDE (objs), but is able to automatically locate and export the lods, so the script automatically assigns the ID to all objects

 

The interface of the script.

 

 

The script usage instructions are only available in Russian, but I think the interface is friendly and understandable.

Will it at some point support smoothing of import and export? It's something I've been missing a lot!

[Gmer]

I'm getting [Error]: write geometry, when im trying to export a model originally exported with older KAMS using this.

 

 

I made no changes in 3DS to the model, just this was my first test import & export with your updated KAMS version.

The old kams can do this same operation, right now, on the same model, without problems. After clicking away the error, the outputted .DFF is 2,07KB in size.

Any tips?

 

Edit: seems it doesn't error when i dont select the .DFF as collision like i tried. I used skip col and works, but still...

Edit2: even with skip col, altho the error is gone, the model outputted is corrupted , because GTA cannot load it.. and about 60kb less in size (like missing something)

 

maybe this can help you find out what is missing on export or what goes wrong, gold_fish:

Could you give this model or the max scene in PM?

Import can not be fixed, because the mesh of the model in dff is cut in parts, because of which the model does not smooth out in 3d max, as it would be desirable.

 

smoothing after export has already been fixed and depends on the smoothing groups. If you assign one smoothing group to all polygons, then in the game everything will also be smoothed by one group

Thanks for these tools!

 

I know about one pesky bug with Vice City ped models. If I want to use "IFP IO", the model doesn't show up. Is it possible to fix?

may be...

[Tut98]

It'd be sweet if a function to import/export particles was to be added to the script. I'm already using the light import/export, it's extremely convenient compared to exporting the data and adding it through RW analyze.

Finally

An update for this tool.

[MrVicho13]

It would be extremely useful if you add UV Animation support (Export and Import), is really painful to manually delete UV Anim sectors for each DFF.

Vertex alpha only

is vAlpha where you have white and black colors that you can paint onto your mesh to draw paths between a stone and a grass texture?

You know any model using it?

I don't , searched around and believe it's only compatible with GTA and not MTA. I can't confirm it however.

Alpha is written in the day and night prelit, if night is on

Can you add collision material like GTA COL Surface from Kam's script 2005?

Sorry, I forgot to add it to the kit. Simply you need to manually add the GTA_COLplugin.ms script to the startup folder

(You can find it in the old version of the kams script)

Edited June 23, 2018 by gold_fish

[MrDadosz]

Thank you. Now I can make models without crash every 3 minutes.

[MrDadosz]

There's another problem. If you export DFF, script will save model to 0,0,0 position but if you export COL, script will get current model collision instead of 0,0,0. Can you fix this?
