Compiling tools

by __._ · in Torque Game Engine · 10/04/2006 (5:18 am) · 6 replies

I'm trying to compile the exporter tools for 3DS Max 8, but without luck so far.

To compile the maxtomap exporter I have been able to build most libs required, but am stuck on "engine_DEBUG.lib". How do I get my hands on this library?

Building the maxtodts exporter for 3dsmax 8 gives me 13 errors that are claimed to be in include files from the 3dsmax8 SDK itself...

How can I build these tools for version 8, or are there precompiled versions around somewhere?

Edit: I found that the max2dts exporter for version 6 also works for 3dsmax8, which is linked in the online manual of Torque.

Thanks! But what about the exporter for map (or directly to dif?) from 3dsmax?

Not entirely what I meant, but thanks for replying ofcourse :)
I know how to go from .map to .dif, but I'd prefer to make my map-files with 3DS Max, instead of QuArK. But the source code for the max-exporter won't compile and I'm not sure why.

I make my pieces with GLB 3.0(pluggin) for 3ds max,
then I export a MAP file from GLB 3.

Then Import the Map in QuArk and export to diff.
Ive created over three hundred pieces this way.

Then inside the game engine, I use the world editor to put my pieces together.


All this until C O N S T R U C T O R is released

What's this constructor you speak of?

I downloaded version 2.22 of the plugin and seems I only need the export-script itself, not the other files? However it's limited to only a handfull of polygons.
