when you export a model out of gmax, it is in ascii.mdl form, it is named "i_mask_001.mdl" or something after you export from gmax, but it should proably be named "i_mask_001-ascii.mdl". So in short, what you'll need to do is open...  [Read More]

well, the txt file that MDLops produces is just sort of a reference to tell you what textures are being used by the model. You don't really need that file at all, it's just a nice reference I suppose. What you will need is, if you apply "mytextu...  [Read More]

I'm pretty sure red text in KSE just means it's a custom item, I have severla red text items, but the best way to test if your model exported/replaced properly is to rename the .mdl and .mdx files w_lghtsbr_001.mdl/.mdx plop it in the override and wh...  [Read More]
