Exactly ware is teh model tag refrence string im soposed to be counting the letter's of. and what would be the #for this be "cust_cust_custom.render_model" ? 16 ? im tryin to use custom scenary but in sapien everythag I try is invisable.
Please excuse me I did'nt relize I was double posting.

Hold on a second while I go get my 7 year old cousin to help translate what you just typed, Jack. Ah ok. The "cust_cust_custom.render_model" string properly placed in the tag would be just "cust_cust_custom" as the reference string. Yes the count is 16 just for that string. But if it was in a directory such as "objects/shaders/cust_cust_custom", the string length would be 32, which should be placed in the tag. Anyways, I would suggest just waiting until an unlocked Guerrilla is released unless your experienced enough with a hex editor, and impatient.

Try to stay on topic, Jack. This thread is solely for the Beta of his GBXModel Upgrader...

And, it seems like you're trying to advertise yourself, just help figure out the problems and/or main goal of this thread.

Hey Jahrain, thanks for sharing this. Brilliant idea to use gbx models.

I'm at work 40+ a week and in a band as well so my free time is limited, though i do find 30 mins here and there to sit down at my computer.

I've managed to get my bloody butcher knife model working, with only a couple speed bumps. I still have to try to get the fp model to appear in-game. Also I've tried several times to get these faces flipped properly, but nothing has worked. Every time i convert gbx to render, ALL the faces are flipped. I've tried the geometry options in your app, and also tried to export the model with the normals flipped in 3dsmax but still the same result.


Any ideas? I'll keep trying... later on I'd love to get some more complex models in-game. Is your ultimate goal to eventually be able to convert bipeds as well?

Thanks again!

[jahrain]

If you flipped the faces in 3ds max, and its not flipped ingame, your doing something wrong. Try making the surfaces double sided.

Your spelling makes me cry inside.

I want to see someone get the Bulldog in game as a piece of scenery or something to that effect, but that's just me.
