R* RW IO for max

The problem you mentioned have not really to do with normals, but index order in a triangle. So are you shure the models you importing have corect index order for all triangles?

I have no idea honestly and wouldn't know since I don't have that much knowledge in all that geometry index stuff.

I'll let you know if I get different results with same model using RW.

Hey @cj2000 I apologise for the late news. had too much on my hands.

 

I have captured a comparison of Kam's vanilla scripts import versus The Hero's RW import. 

(Kams and RW respectively)

 

 

 

 

In viewport they appear just about the same strange enough. What I did to the Kam's after import was welding verts at .001 threshold to get rid of overlapping verts (problem with kam's) and reset its smoothing groups (it imports with 1 group). Welding the vertices did not cause the wrong materials to be applied to the faces, they were already applied that way before I did anything. It's worth noting that Goldfish's DFF importer has the same issue (and thus, the same issue when importing IPL with his modified MAP IO)

 

Would it be somehow possible for you to modify Kam's MAP IO script to rather than use Kam's DFF importer for the IPL import, it uses The Hero's (or yours) RW importer instead? This would solve a thousand issues (literally) because many of these material and black face issues must be fixed manually.

I was thinking you meaning that f... up textures, but was not shure. In this case it´ll be more helpful to see how the textures looking in max itself, but I gues they are already f... up there. From what you explained I am more then 90% shure the problem was when imported. You should use nonstandard import option of my script and see if the textures are still f... up.

What you mean by create a lod models? My script is just for importing and exporting, creating models is something max internal.

After taking a look at the picture you posted, your question seems to be about ipl export. So if you was asking how to export ipl line of a model with LOD, then you need to have both the model itself and its LOD, then use that LOD buton to select the LOD for the model.

Also ipl export could be dangerous, if ipl file already exist, it´ll be overwriten.

This tool is excellent. It compliments with The Hero/aap's 3ds max plugin perfectly.

This and the hero/aap's plugin are the tools to (almost) replace kam's super buggy script.

I bumped for this.

Nobody ignoring you, just wasn´t here for a long time. Try to use nonstandard import option.

Started working on ifp IO

 

 

At the moment I can read and write animations from GTA ifp. Apply animations on skined models and add animations from models to ifp.

What that should be? Also since lod should be a model, this would refer to dff part of my scripts. However if you explain how this should work will see if can implement something like this.

Also triing to add suport for models defined in anim section of ide, Kams script seems also to have no real suport for them.

[cj2000]

So anim suport is implemented now

 

 

 

Also thinking of implementing suport for 2dfx type 3 pedatractor.

 

[cj2000]

Hve implemented suport for 2dfx type 9 as can be seen here. Also thinking of implementing suport for multiclump dff export, should be specially useful for Manhunt modding.

[cj2000]

PS2 Manhunt levels can now also be imported, to be more precise import of all RW bsp files should be posible now.

[cj2000]

Models using animations but no skin, like anim objects or some cutscene models, can now be imported and exported

[cj2000]

Just to show how easy to add 2dfx using my script, here a working fountain

 

Edited June 17 by cj2000

[cj2000]

Also working on 2dfx type 6 EnEx suport, so my script will finally suport all 2dfx types avaible in GTA SA.

[miclin]

Do you have a release to try that out somewhere? :)

No release at the moment, but some kind of Beta posibly, can tallk about on discord.

[cj2000]

So here how 2dfx EnEx looking

 

 

 

Wondering if Interior Number should be beter placed in the Exit part?

Edited July 2 by cj2000

[cj2000]

Some examples of import for models using 2dfx EnEx

 

 

 

The rectangle is the area of the enter while the cone is the position and direktion of exit. As can be seen on the pics 2dfx coverpoint is also bresent on both models.

 

[cj2000]

Multiclump dff can now also be exported

 

[cj2000]

So here how 2dfx Pedattractor looking

 

[cj2000]

Here an example of a model using 2dfx Pedattractor

 

 

Every of the 3 directions is using its own marker

Edited July 19 by cj2000

[SthefanoProm]

Would it be possible to add support for mass export?
