I'm working on an ESPO walker vehicle, and its supposed to have a translucent cockpit thingy. But since im using the walker class, the driver doesnt want to sit down, it just 'sticks' with the last animation used, if you jump and enter, you see a guy...  [Read More]

Well, first of all, those models have insane amounts of polygons/detail. So to get them ingame you'd spend alot of time just trying to get the detail down. Second, you'd need permission from the guy who made the models. Third: some modelers dont li...  [Read More]

What about guns ? wouldnt that give people perfect aim ? Its sounds neat, but in a saber fight i always try to get to the other guy's blind side. And with this system that would be pretty much impossible. Cant we just move around manually like we're...  [Read More]

I'd say dont restrict the speed at all, just make it cost lots of stamina. That way, you COULD run/strafe like a madman, but you'd get tired soon and any adversary would finish you off really fast....  [Read More]

This problem usualy occurs when you mirror certain objects. Im not familiar with max 5, but i suppose its not that different from 4.2 Anyhow, try selecting an object that you know will 'float around' Go to your utilities tab, and click 'reset xform'...  [Read More]

Sounds good, i've always been a fan of Instagib mods. An idea i've been walking around with might be cool too. You could have one of the two fire modes not do any damage, but have a huge throwback force instead. It'd be cool to use this firingmode t...  [Read More]

There are several plugins for 3dmax to export/import md3s. But i havent heard of any plugins to import glms, so yeah, i'd say milkshape is the only program that can import glms... (maybe softimage can do it though, i have no expirience with that one)...  [Read More]

I'm not sure about using 'tag_something' i always use 'bolt_something' but i guess they both work fine. A flying vehicle usualy needs bolt_muzzle1, to be be placed at the end of the gun(s). (just create muzzle2, muzzle3 etc if you needs multiple gun...  [Read More]

Replacing body parts can only be done by importing the entire mesh, and re-weighing all the pieces. Wich would be ALOT of work, and would border the insane if you wanted to include the lods....  [Read More]

The glm's you create with milkshape and md3view are only good for map objects or weapons, anything static really. Player models, however, cant be exported using milkshape. You'll need 3dmax 4 or higher (wich is the expensive program you mentioned) t...  [Read More]

There is Gmax, but i heard that you cant use that to export player models either. So i guess you'll need to find someone to export it for you, or get 3dmax yourself. Not very good choices, but its all the JA/JO community has. (we REALLY need a good e...  [Read More]

Hmm, what did you use to get it ingame ? Im not sure if its possible, but i have the strange suspicion that you exported it with milkshape and turned it into a glm using md3view. If this is the case, you cant export a player model that way. You'll ne...  [Read More]

To include things like hilts and player models would indeed be wrong. But vehicles are more like tiny additions. If there werent some sort of pack, maps would have to include every custom npc its using, wich wouldnt be very good for file sizes. At...  [Read More]
