Armada Fleet Command

The first game i modded for was armada. Then i found Star wars battlefront 2 and wanted to try that too. Then i found Star Trek Bridge commander that i wanted to try too. Now recently someone has showed me garrys mod which i gant wait getting my hands on and make stuff for. Top of that theres a pile...

Sleek. What do you need help with? Modeling? Texturing? Game-prepping (hierarchy, odf's, referencing)?

I have been following the texturing guide in wbbom using one of my models instead. I have arrive at the step where i apply an uvw unwrap modifier and edits that. For some reason my texture does not appear when i click on the edit button. The coordinate editor appears along with the mesh, i can move ...

Okay, allow me to rephrase then. Is there a max sod importer?

Darn, i needed to do some joint rotation. Thing is it seems i have to retexture it too, cause that isnt preserved either. I actually do my models in blender and prep them in ms, but since you can select faces from the 3d view in max it will be easier there.

Thank you for the help though!

I recently acquired 3d max 5 and intend to retool to that instead of milkshape. Now, i dont feel like redoing the node hierarchies for my models, so i wonder if there is a file format that i can export to in milkshape that includes the joints and is imported correctly into max.

I just got the sod exporter for 3d max and found that there was no sod entry under import. Have i done something wrong? It is the exporter for max 4 and i have max 5.

Well, since its this screwed up i recommend a clean install. This sort of behaviour COULD occur due to some really weird incompatibility between different mods (happens when you have many mods). It could be something you did wrong when you installed this mod, or something earlier that for some reaso...

1. Did you restore any changes to the gui_global and similar?

Link to the mod, i can check it.

Have anyone successfully exported a model originally made in blender to armada? I have tried exporting as .obj, import to ms3d, set up node hierarchy, groups and textures and then export to .sod but its sod of in the storm 3d viewer. Is there any other technique that anyone has tried and works?

I could find that myself, though i really dont think we should be talking about such things in a public forum...

Could you post a link to the mod in question? Il take a look at it. It is possible that you installed it incorrectly.

Undo? If thats too late then no, i dont know an easy way. Hide as much of the rest of the mesh as possible so that you dont accidentally select other faces and try to select the right faces and put them into new groups, one by one. If they are facing different directions then you can just use ignore...

Textures: Well im not very good with textures, but if you have a high-res texture then you could quite possibly do it. Just try to paint something that looks convincing. Modelling: Select the faces you want to put armour on. If you want, you can move vertexes around a bit. Select the faces on which ...

Armada 1 has some errors that doesnt affect the game, but you will doubtless encounter as a modder, like the weapon colour variable that doesnt work. My guess is that from the beginning the officers quarters were supposed to be destroyable pods like the research pods, but they decided to remove it, ...
