CMP Import/export dll
-
At P1P3r : I’ve tested the importer, nice work, I like the merge option and all the others! But the exporter needs to be more flexible… It could be good to tick boxes than choose in menus, it could be more intuitiv, if you see what I say. Though I didn’t try more than a minute, I will try the exporter more this evening. Like that I would see the things you could change if it is really difficult. If you don’t want, could you make a fast tutorial?

Please could you tell me how doing LODs? I don’t know how!!
-
1. Export Model for the High Detail LOD.
2. Don’t change the filename.
3. In Milkshape, I use the DirectX Mesh Tools. to reduce the poly count.
4. Go back to export dialog. In the Export Menu, put a check mark on LOD. or click on the multi doc icon. If you want to add WireData click on the far left icon.
5. click export.Just repeat steps 2 to 5 for more LODs

Thank you, it works! In fact don’t change anythings! That was the only thing I didn’t understand. I’m sorry to have argue you… That was a mistake. -_-’

Hi P1p3r,
I’ve tried the importer and, for whatever reason, it does not pick up the .mat file within the folder regardless of it trying to find automatically or not. I’m unable to select it manually. Would it have to do with the version of my MS? It’s 1.8.2.
Unfortunately, this causes a fatal error within the importer and it MS crashes. Your older version works just fine, though.

HI Sushi,
Could you upload the cmp and mat files so as I could take a look at them?
Off the bat, there’s only two times it would not pick up the textures, and that would be- they already exist in the textures folder. and
- the hash numbers don’t match. However, there might be something else going on with your files.

I tested with new exporter :
- model is shown good in hard cmp & UTFeditor and exports both cmp and mat file.
- the model is exporting with a little higher value of Y axis (up), and a little negative value to X (to the left at front projection) compared to normal.
- when selecting wmesh wire exporting included, ms3d crash (tested on version 1.8.5 beta1).

I think I figured it out. It has to do with the way the 3ds Max exporter exports the files, my bad. Hardcmp doesn’t read them correctly, either as we add tangential data to the model for normal/specular mapping.

Is this still a difference between the 2 versions Sushi?

The older one can import the models but it does so incorrectly. The latest cannot import at all. I believe W0d is one day going to work on a 3ds Max importer when he get a chance

OK if its fixable then P1p3r will try?

Hi again,When you say it imports the model incorectly, do you mean the mesh is messed up? or is it the textures that are messed up?
If your model is working in game, I’m sure I could figure out why it’s not importing them, however, I would need the model in order to duplicate the problem. I’ve been able to import most models from the game and most player made models that I’ve tried importing. There were a couple of models with unfinished hardpoints that didn’t want to load, but even those should load now.

try running the model cleaner tool before exporting and let me know what happens. -
More the mesh. The importers don’t understand the binomial data.
Here’s one of our models.
-
The model you sent me had an incomplete node, which was causing the plugin to crash.
Also as far as I know Milkshape only supports one set of texture coordinates. Please correct me if I’m wrong so as I could add the rest of the texture coordinates to Milkshape.
I’m uploading newer versions of both plugins You should now be able to load your model.

Is it all ok now?
