MaxScript MDX Importer/Exporter

I just wanted to let KmK know wthat his Impoter/extopter works great and I cant wait Till he make a version that inports and exports anmation and alows deleteing and adding vertexts.
keep up th good work.

even though i didnt download or try your mdx, you probably forgot some things.

heres an easy way to make a box and get it in game: Make the box. Then go to Modifyers, and convert it to editably mesh. Then apply a UVW map modifier. Chose whatever one you want, then Collapse all modifiers. Then go to the export and before you export, hit F11 and tye in what KMK said:

Open the Maxscript Listener (F11 should do it)
type the following:


code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------notes = NoteTrack "Sequences"--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Press enter and you should get some writing, then type the following:

code:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------addNoteTrack trackViewNodes notes--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Press enter and you should get some writing, this should fix the problem.

then export. Convert it to mdl if you want a different texture location modify that, then convert back in put it and its texture back in game! this should work, cuz its what I do and I have some things in game that are totally custom made.

well im not sure what is going on, but yer fix for the undefined to type: integer doesnt work, and i get it alot! im using 5.0 if that tells u anything

In the UVW Mapping Parameters, what do I use for Mapping, Channel, and Alignment. Do I leave it as default?

Only the test version (2.0.1?), which is only available to a few people, you'll find the undefined to type integer problem is not fixed. If you got hold of that and are using it then it's most likely a seperate error.
Any requests for the test version will be ignored and deleted.

4d5e6f?:
Any settings should work fine, choose the one that suits your needs.

KMK, in your next public release of your exporter/importer, can you make it able to export particle emitters?

Ok. I think im missing a step here. I still cant make a simple box. I must be stupid cause thats how I feel right now. I cant even make a box.

Using 3DS MAX 5.
1. Created box.
2. Right-clicked on the model, chose "Convert to Editable Mesh"
3. Clicked on "Modify Tab". In the "Modifier List", I chose "UVW Map". Then left the settings on default.
4. (I didnt do this part before) Collapsed the modifiers. I only have one from UVW Mapping.
5. Loaded the script. Pressed F11 then typed in the codes.
6. Selected the model and exported it.
7. Converted to MDL and chose a texture by editing the MDL.
8. Converted it back to MDX.
9. Loaded into the game....and nothing.

Any help would be great.


UPDATE: Nevermind, its working now. I dont know what I did wrong but those are the steps I did and now its working.

KMK, I found a really annoying big problem. I made my time machine, uvw mapped it, unwrapped it, had everything done, and exported it. It exported fine. I got it in game and it showed up, BUT SIDEWAYS!!! The basics of the model was a torus shape. So image a torus standing up, like a portal. then u export and its flat on the ground, like a donut... This is really pissing me off, please help me.

ok, I fixed that, but now the model appears halfway into the ground. This isnt a real problem, it can be fixed with height, but its still a problem.

Why not just translate it properly in MAX? Use the X-Form modifier

Im using gmax and whenever i try to run the script nothing happens :abomHUH?: pleaze help

gmax cant export.

it seems that it cant import either

why even tell people you can use gmax to edit models when you cant even export them from the program

I agree
