3ds max help!

[Grinch_]

hey i just wantd to port a part of vc map to sa but i keep getting this error

But the thing is i loaded all the vc ide files and when i check missing txds there are none.So why this msg appears again and again?

 

Edit:I also tried finding the objet using this code

 

 

obj = getNodeByName "lamppost2"
select obj

 

 

 

and set its txd to dynsings.txd which is its txd file but still same error.

Why do you still use 3ds Max for that? Convert DFFs to SA (aap's converter), shift IDE and IPL IDs and convert IPL to SA format.

I have some simple python 3.6 scripts for such occasion.

This shifts IDs (save as "ID.py"):

import sysif len(sys.argv) is 2:    f = open(sys.argv[1], "r")    while True:        line = f.readline()        if not line:            break        line = line.split(',')        try:           int(line[0])        except ValueError:            pass        else:            line[0] = int(line[0])            line[0] += 6000 #CHANGE '6000' TO ANY VALUE YOU WANT BEFORE RUNNING!            line[0] = str(line[0])        line = ','.join(line)        print(line, end="")    f.close()

And this converts VC IPL to SA format (save as "IPL.py"):

import sysif len(sys.argv) is 2:    f = open(sys.argv[1], "r")    while True:        line = f.readline()        if not line:            break        line = line.split(',')        try:           int(line[0])        except ValueError:            pass        else:            del line[6]            del line[6]            del line[6]            line[-1] = line[-1].strip("\n")            line.append(" -1\n")        line = ','.join(line)        print(line, end = "")    f.close()

In cmd you type:

cd YOUR_DESKTOPPATH_TO_PYTHON_EXE DRAG_N_DROP_THE_PY_FILE DRAG_N_DROP_THE_FILE >> boo.txt

boo.txt is the output. Rename to IDE/IPL whatever and enjoy

Can you sent e the link to src or compiled aap's converter?

ok so another question.How do i use aap's converter to convert multiple dffs at once?

[guard3]

Make a folder called "in" in the same place as convdff.exe and put your dffs in there
Then open notepad and paste this:

@echo offmd outFOR %%i IN (".\in\*.dff") DO (start convdff YOUR_ARGUMENTS_HERE .\in\%%~ni.dff .\out\%%~ni.dff)

Save as "convert.bat" in the same place as convdff. So in the folder you have:

\in\ (with all your dffs)

convdff.exe

convert.bat

Double click "convert.bat" and grab what you want from the folder "out" it creates
