Using Max instead of MilkShake in Emaga6

by Kayley · in Torque Game Engine · 01/21/2005 (8:51 am) · 5 replies

I've built a character in MAX7 which I have tested and inserted into the Torque engine FPS example game.. and the character inserts fine.

However, when I insert the max exported .dts into Emaga6
data->avatar->human, it crashes upon loading!

Why is this? Did Ken make Emaga6 such that other .dts characters can't be inserted into the game?!?!

I've tried loading other working avatars (that all got inserted into the sample FPS game fine) into Emaga6.. the same thing, it crashes....

I'm using MAX7 though instead of MilkShape (the recommended tool from the book)... is this the problem?!?!

Thanks

What errors does the console.log give when the application crashes? That would go a long way in regards to helping you resolve this issue.

Hmmm, there's nothing particularly special about tge.exe on the CD, except that it's a 1.2 build from around New Year's 2003/2004.
