I'm just a casual 3dsmax user Don't expect too much.

About plugin - I've just copied two files to the plugins folder. That's all. This plugin works with 3dsmax 8 only. Try if it works with original imd game files.
I'll send you the converted files in an hour or so.

Prometheus and fighter.

[TrashMan]

I did that too..Got 3D Max 8 and put the files in hte plugin folder...3D Max reports an error when loading those plugins?

B.t.w. - the fighter was there to show orientation and scale - it doesn't need converting


EDIT:
Hmm..which plugin folder? stdplugs? plugin?


EDI2:

The Prometheus is scaled prett ymuhc OK. But all hte normals are inverted .Lol.

[Goblin Wizard]

I'm really sorry. I've forgot about needed dlls. All dlls go to windows\system32.
Full download.

[TrashMan]

Thank you. Now I won't have to bug you to convert things

[TrashMan]

Well, the plugin works now...but when I export the ship it ends up inverted...its outsides are in and insides our out.

Flipping normals before exporting does nothing...WTF???

If one could only import/export just the collision spheres from and into IMD's!

[Goblin Wizard]

What is inverted? Texture, model? I remember that I had some problems with importing ships from eve-online too but nothing that flipping axis can't fix (Y 180o IIRC).

[TrashMan]

Looks like the model is inverted. All the faces. The ships I export are inside-out


B.t.w. - do you know what the difference between recharge and rate of fire is?

Recharge seems to be time between shots..but RoF? time between shots in a burst? I don't get it...
