Hello, I will try explain myselft with the better english than I can xD. My problem is the next: since I used the old Kams scripts I havent can convert .OBJ to .DFF directly, I need convert the .OBJ format to .3DS and then export as .DFF. And that is because whent I try convert .OBJ to .DFF directly happens this (not the color red of some parts):

Is like the UVS change when you export the file. I want be able to import .OBJ and directrly export it as .DFF becase if I export it as .3DS the smooth groups get lost and the model looks terrible. So I wonder if you can make something at future release of these scripts. Any way, I will get pics to explain myself better. I'll post it as replies.

Do you have the original model in obj format? Why do you need to export to 3ds? You can load obj into 3ds max and use the kam scripts to export to dff

no, it's are standard textures, they are extracted from the txd  for quick access to them, do not pay attention to it

No. Read readme, everything is written there

What does this prevent? Is the script crashing? Does not start? What exactly is the problem

Is this rollout on the side?

 

 

After pressing DFF IO, the does nothing? Open the listener (f 11) show me the contents of this window

after clicking on the DFF IO button

Look like the script only works on 3ds max 2009 , 2012 and 2017 .  I am using 3ds max 2014 whenever i import Gta sa DFF files and export them by bone/skin export . The skins mess up in the game even i do nothing to them

This script is probably only one which can correctly export opacity of textures(without using alpha texture) which can be displayed correctly without using SilentPatch, but I notice problem with mixing smoothing groups, or giving this same VC different polygons, so it's look like unity. You can see my problem in pic bellow.

I already know about the problem.
Before imposing the prelit on the model, you need to manually break all the vertices.
Later I will write a special script to automate and save the size of dff.

Break vertex before export help.

I notice second problem with too dark VC and NVC. My object already have VC and NVC set by Vertex Paint tool, and when I don't use Silent Patch, or play on MTA on my map, object exported by this tool are too dark. Object in picture is only sand around sandpit, rest of objects are exportet by Deniska's script.

I found option in SilentPatch which fix colors on KAM's model, but it's only in older version of SilentPatch.

You export the vertices alpha channel , try exporting through the kam  with this check mark

KAM's version of this object display Vertex Alpha correctly(without using Silent Patch). Problem with KAM's version of my object is only with little bit darknest VC and NVC, like on this comparison.

Are we going to ignore the fact that exporting skins no matter if you have changed anything on them messes them completely up in-game? Fix that. Deleting this version for now, useless.

The only issue I'm experiencing is the pivot being reset to the top of .y mesh, that's all - the version of his is very sustainable and makes adding particles etc. a job that anyone can do rather than having to use an external program such as rw editor. Be a bit grateful about people voluntarily releasing such useful tools sir.

 

Now for the skin issue, are you sure it isn't a problem with the rig or something alike? Can you show images of your max file and ingame? Is the result different using vanilla kams script?

[santosvagos]

even when i din't do any thing to the skins , the skins still messed up in game after exporting .

I've had a skin request, it was basically retexturing and a headswap of original SA skins. Everything was rigged correctly and I've exported the skin with the 2018 Kam's Max Script. Loaded it in-game the skin was standing horizontal, the skin wasn't responding to the movements at all. It was floating. I decided to import a vanilla skin and change nothing, simply import and export and had the same issue.

 

I thought it must be a issue with the new Kam's Max Script and decided to replace it with the vanilla script, everything worked fine then.

 

I must give huge props when it comes about importing buildings or general objects with NVC. No need to workaround and make my own vertex colors.

 

I'll stick to using the vanilla script for skins and the new one for buildings or objects.

In the near future I will try to solve this problem.

I'm using 2012 3dsmax with this script and I exported my skin, this happened, similar to the guy above.

The model doesn't move at all and it's just floating horizontally.

Look for lessons on the use of the script dexx tool, if you need to export light, then you can export through this kam script

Hello again. Can you fix this?
no uv pack: https://i.imgur.com/LlgpcYZ.png

uv pack: https://i.imgur.com/j71y69i.png

it's 100% fault of exporter, it's deattaching fragments of skin. It's possible, because GTA characters doesn't have that line on their faces:

 

//edit: I found kams with fixed uv's:

Looks like skin, bones or both were not exported. Have you used the charecter export?

You have to use vertex colors set to normals, otherwise your character won't have animations.

@gold_fish when exporting models without any modifiers stacked it exports 100%.

 

when exporting with vertex colors (illum+color) it outputs [Error] : write geometry and then the model exported is broken and can't be loaded into game. any idea how to solve this problem?

 

when collapsing the vertex color and illum modifiers, it exports well, but model still gets corrupted. thus i must go back to my backup .max file.

 

fixed by reopening the max file and reassigning vertex paint
