max2dtsExporter

Hey I am new here, and I was just wondering where I could find the max2dtsExporter for 3ds Max 2008, and I have tried some pages listed on these forums, but they seem to be down. How do I compile the plugin for use with 3ds Max 2008?

Thanks everyone.

I have been messing around with Torque and I was just wondering how is it possible to spawn characters? From the mission editor I have imported a castle I created in 3ds max, setup some collision, but character animation and weapons is hard to implement. How is it possible to implement such weapon as a sword? Also, how do I spawn other characters for which to fight? I have already tried the console command spawn bot, but I was just wondering if there is code or an in-mission item that spawns bots.

Thanks very much.

I have lots of stuff created in 3ds max, but it is rather difficult(at least for me now because I don't really know what I am doing) to implement it in Torque. Does anyone know of some really basic tutorials that start at the very basics and go into the full aspect of gaming design?

Thanks.

For AI opponents, try the Improved AI Guard resource by Twisted Jenius


For swords, you need to add the melee code, which involves C++ source code editing.

Have you done the basic gettingStarted.pdf tutorial?

Yes I have done that and I have gotten one of my characters that I created in 3ds max in game. I have a screenshot.

I put it on my avatar. Hope you like it. It's a knight. Now I am trying to implement a melee system, with bloom the game looks like Oblivion.

I am going to implement a grass rendering system as in Oblivion, as well as try to do my own version of Speedtree.

And a catapult system like in Medieval 2 Total War.

Also, I have been trying to find out how to spawn an NPC other than the character. How can this be accomplished?

Cheers for the link Inf, I've always wondered where the MAX test files were for exporting. Exporting an object is still quite the pain though and I honestly still have not figured it out. The documentation in the Wiki is so ancient that someone needs to update it.

Oh btw Justin, instead of typing a sentence every minute, please use the edit button.
