Hello! I want to enter a new custom planet (liv_m99ab.mod - Custom Planet#1)). Is there a rule of thump which picture is shown in the load-up screen? Can I influence which picture is shown somehow? Thanks for any help! I think you might have a loo...  [Read More]

Quanon, forgot to ask, how did you do the opening crawl effect? That was one of the main things I needed to know. Also, how did you do those camera transitions. Look very Starwarsy. :) That was done with the Windows Movie Maker *dodges rotten tomato...  [Read More]

BTW, how did you manage the glow coming out of the engines? Was that done in Max or was it done after? That was done in Max, it has sort mini AfterFX, to add all kinds of glow. It wasn't that hard to do, I think I might have even a link about that...  [Read More]

Ironically, I am on a course but they don't teach us anything. I learn more about game design from people in here than on the course. The mod I'm doing is for my final year project so I'm trying to throw in as many game design elements as possible to...  [Read More]

The other thing I was wondering was what does STRUCT ID:1 mean? What does STRUCT ID:3 mean? I think 3 stands for Traps ! 1 I would guess would be transitions aka warping. 2 I've no idea... been awhile since I edited the .git for triggers. Mostly...  [Read More]

Just a quick question for my Nar Shadaa mod. I opened a .git for one of my modules in K-GFF and extended the door list. One of the structs said LinkedToModule. Is there a way to use this to set up a transition? Or does it have to be a trigger? I...  [Read More]

Not entirely true. Discreet bought Maya, so since it was created by a different company it's bound to have some differences. Ah, yes , that's true ! :p Forgot about that part of history. The only thing I heard from my teachers of 3D Max is that :...  [Read More]

No it's not. Just because you haven't taken the time to learn how to use it properly doesn't automatically mean it's crap. It's actually a very good tool, especially given that it's free. It's more than acceptable as a stand-alone tool for game moddi...  [Read More]

Like DDD said you'll need the UVW-Map of a door. All 3D objects need a UVW to apply a texture correctly. But if your using the standard doors of Kotor , just use one of there textures, cause these reflect/ used the UVW-map. Ofcourse the textures do...  [Read More]

Hmmm... still screwed up. You don't need to edit the head with G-Max, that's just to have a quick preview of how it might look in the game. What you must do is HEX-Edit the .mdl file. You need to write down the orginal texture name. Then with a H...  [Read More]

Thanks for the screen Q. I'll experiment on this some more later! Also, the Aurora D lights are still not working! I even found one in a Kolto tank Placeable, and used all the same things as it, except for the radius. It's probably just Gmax. And, I'...  [Read More]

Kotor knows how to use reference nodes in its .mdl files. Sounds like they represent objects of type "reference" in Max. They should help populating a forest without having to model every single tree.... I actually used that a lot for the...  [Read More]

I have no clue how this is done in Max, though. Max gives you like three options when you start copying objects. It can be a copy ( a full new object on its own.) a reference ( keeps a very tight link with orginale, if you alter the orginale the r...  [Read More]
