I moved on to 3DS 2014, but I think it's giving me fake open edge errors... I'm using the JMS model exporter.

Anyone know a good method of getting a 3ds 2014 file into MAX 8?...
Edited by Jesse on Nov 1, 2013 at 12:06 AM

if you find anything please let me know as I am having the same issue!

wait, how did you get max 8 working then, i have been toiling over it for ages....

Collada exporter, use 32bit for max 8 and 64 bit for 2014. .dae

Max 8 installed and runs fine on my 64bit, no tricks involved.

I prefer using Max 8, but I was forced to use 2014 because my Max 8 kept corrupting my model file. I didn't know what to do, so I loaded it in 2014 and continued my work that way.

Now, I've done a little too much work on a new file for me to start off from the pre-corrupted file.

My 3ds max has always worked, except for when it doesn't. Even when I had my Windows 8.

so no update

I've been working on sealing the map, but 3ds max 2014 appears to give me tons of fake open edge errors when compiling through tool. I'll keep working on it, as some of the open edges are real.

I've also been working on some CMT stuff.

that look good

Jesse, if you catch me on xfire, I'll can try to export the map in 2010/2012 for you.

Maybe if we can load it in 2010 - 2012, we can then save as an FBX that max 8 will recognize :0

What's your xfire? Better yet, mine is: azjesse

I concur. Showing up on motion tracker while crouching walking? No ricocheting sniper bullets? No golf club?

1.8/10 would wipe with.

I already have you added >.>

I already said that collada is the best format for getting max files back to 8.
Dae ftw , use 32 bit for max8 and 64bit for newer.

I'm just gonna ignore ftsshot.

I tried messing with the motion sensor range and sensitivity, but I had porked it once and never wanted to edit it again. I probably didn't use the decimal value correctly.

Maniac and M16, I'll hit you guys up on xfire when I get home.

update pleez

There are about 30 - 50 open edges on the map, once I get those sorted out, I will compile it ingame and fix the rest of the buildings. I've already finished the really complex structures, so Alls I need are to proportion the basic buildings and add more detail. Ingame pics should come soon, but they'd come sooner if someone was willing to fix the open edges for me :P

Is The Pit still a primary project of yours? Just worried that CMT's work start taking precedence.

i thought dratt was mostly just one of the beta testers (wish masters could let dratt slip us a teaser, since masters has been doing... nobody knows actually). but i doubt he'd drop the project at this point.

I've worked too hard on this project to let it die, so don't worry about that. The CMT work I have is easy, so it's not like I'm overloaded or anything, but I have been spending time on studying for an exam that I have today, and that's been eating up my time.

Moot, I'll send you the map sometime soon, probably PM the files to you around 11:00 PM California time. I'm spending ALL day at school studying for an exam I have today :(

Jeese's CMT contributions right now are limited to A10 refinements and ingaming a few assets bob hasn't had the time to work on (marines keep him busy). There will be a CMT SPV3 progress report tonight, but this thread is for discussion of the pit. Any CMT discussion should be taken to the CMT thread.

Well said :)

this isn't kirby btw buys, check the sig, "One day I will be you are President." kirby knows how to grammar.

and i s'pose is shouldn't have discussed CMT here, my bad dratt.

And the join date. DERP

Kirby knows how to spell, at least decently.

Why can't I vote for myself?

Please take your foolishlness elsewhere. Go plague the other threads.

There is a high FOV

No, but I may.

I have OS installed, which by default enables some bloom, hence the exposure.

And of course, thanks to Moot for helping me resolve some errors.

Very nice. What's next on the list?

Well I'm still not done modeling it yet, but I plan to fix up the in-game shaders and finish all the modeling, and once the modeling is done, I'll duplicate the other half.

Where's the SMG?

Hiding with the Mauler.

shaders are NOT final
