[HELP] BF2 Models

[Chanvlan]

Hey fallas how do i import bf2 models into 3DS Max 2009 so i can put the mounted PKM onto my Boston Whaler? thnx

[master of the templars]

there are bf2 tools for 3dsmax here's a link
POE_MAX_BF2_TOOLS.zip - FileFront.com

even though it only says version 9 i think they work with the later 3ds max also

My advice is don't add it into 3dsmax. No use reinventing the wheel.

The PKM has already been created so add it through the editor (or by 'hand') once your model is complete.

Look at the .tweak file of the RIB boat and it will show you what needs to be done.

This shows how they added the M249, the ammo for it and the 1st person camera. There's other code you would need to add, but it gives you a general sense.

Code: Select all

ObjectTemplate.activeSafe RotationalBundle BOAT_RIB_mount
ObjectTemplate.modifiedByUser ljo
ObjectTemplate.setNetworkableInfo BasicInfo
ObjectTemplate.floaterMod 0
ObjectTemplate.hasMobilePhysics 0

na im just creating the model im not going to put it in BF2 ill leave that to someone else. But if they can stick the gun on themselves thats all ok then.

[EOD_Security-2252]

Yeah, you need to make make a pintel (gun stand/mount) for the PKM, but the PKM itself will be added when you import the vehicle and mess with it in the BFeditor (or just the tweaker).

[Chanvlan]

ok so do i add a stand? and how do i know how big it should be do i just guess?

[Drav]

if you want to import the pkm to help judge scale, use the poe tools mesh importer to bring it into your scene, then adjust your model to fit....use h key a lot to select and get rid of all the unnecessary lods (level of detail) contained in the bf2 import....


sorry, bit pissed, hope that makes sense!!

ok i found the insergent PKM KIT .con file and i click open but it doesnt do anything? how do i import it now? like i went to the BF2 tab clicked ustilites then imported mesh - inspkmkit and then it does nothing

ok yeh and im trying to import the PR version of it do i need to use the BF2 version?

You've extracted the wrong file.

In both objects_client.zip and objects_server.zip, choose the weapon you want to import in /weapons/handheld/ and extract it's folders to the same directory.

ie.: @ objects_server.zip/weapons/handheld/: extract folder rulmg_pkm to C:/unzip and
@ objects_client.zip/weapons/handheld/: extract folder rulmg_pkm to C:/unzip

Cheers!

NVM ALL problem soleved took me a while to understand what it meant!

Sorry to bump such an old thread But how can i open the kit geometries on 3dsMax9? I have the BF2 tools, but when i click the BF2 tab -> utilities -> mesh importer and try to open a kit, for example US_Assault.con. Nothing happens, what am i doing wrong? Thanks

[J.F.Leusch69]

try the us_kits.con

[Hulabi]

Thanks, seems like you cant open individual kits, but you have to open the factions kits.con file Got it working now.
