Hi just been mucking about with a stryker just for a bit of experimenting imported it changed some of the LOD0 and tried to export it went through the creating .dat and .mat but didn't create a .con file. NO error messages.

it had its complete hieracy

Is there anything special you need to do for exporting vehicles. any good tutorials to check out. for APC

Who's stryker? How'd you get it? Your own model, or one ripped backwards out from BF2? Does it have textures? Are you sure the hierarchy is right?

More information is needed to help you figure out why it isn't exporting. I've exported a ton of vehicles, weapons and other odds and ends into BF2. There are all kinds of reasons why you don't get an export.

Some are really obvious and some are not so obvious. However, in order to help, I need to know more about your vehicle.

PR's usapc_stryker . Imported into 3dsMax verison 9 using POE2 tools have assigned the textures on the LOD0

Hierarchy looks fine,

Do I have to use batch export or just the ordinary export.

try posting a screenshot of the hierarchy.

Other than that have you got a 3dmax vehicle that i could have a muck about with. One that works. on export, a tracked one would be good.

At first glance i cant really see anything wrong with it but i dont know as much on exporting vehicles as i do on exporting weapons... maybe trahn_lee can help more then me.. I mean he is a monster when it comes to exports lol

I think these lods should be linked under geom1

And here's a vast collection of hierarchies: 3ds/gmax Model Hierarchy Collection (56k Warning) - Official BF Editor Forums

you dont have any collision meshes. When you use the import tool it doesn't import the collisions as well.

Col's are located below LOD 0

All those are of the lower tree of Geom1 all ready

Do you have to export as batch export?

You shouldnt need to i donno about how batch exports work but i have exported some vehicles before and i all ways just used the normal exporter... Maybe try giving [R-DEV]Trahn_lee a pm or something to see if he can help.

Heres a screenie of my vehicles hierarchy may not be as detailed as the striker but see if it helps or not.
