3ds to Dif - is it possible?

#1 Uh... Max2map works... if you are able to deal with the pain. direct 3ds-> map however... might be difficult.

#2 You can't convert them because Diff's require specific mesh requirements. 3DS files have a lot of stuff not allowed in Diff's. Now if you created an object in max and created a script that cleans up that extra stuff yea you can. It would however be best to have an exporter created. Most do not realize it but you can create a script to handle exports as long as you understand the file format specs.

I am no programmer but I have been looking into these things for a while.

Hope this helps a bit.

#3 I compiled max2map exporter that included in TGE SDK Tools, but seem to me it 3Dstudio exporter I mean it is not separate max2map.exe file :(
map2maxExporter.dle - Is already compiled.

#4 Game Level Builder (or is it just Game Builder) works well if you use its .map exporter to then drop in the new map2dif... I've tested it some, works like a charm

#5 Is that GLB3 you speak of or 2.2 I have 3 but have yet to use it.

#6 Think I ran it on version 2.2 (since I don't own 3), though I would "assume" it would work on version 3... i just tried making some quick rooms, hallways, and doors... then threw it in Quark to cut out the doors ( could've probably done it it max from what I know now) and texture it then popped it into Torque just fine

#7 Doesn't GLB3 have a sort of "brushify" script?

#8 Yes, I've seen that on the webpage.
