I'll check for that and if I can see it within Max. I'll fix it and rexport it. The handle is in the position that it was in when I got the rifle. I made the assumption that the pieces and parts were where they needed to be. I try not to move too much around, unless it is just obvious that something is amiss.

It can also sometimes be very difficult to see some issues, due to the dark textures. In game lighting sometimes also does not bring out all the flaws. (The editor certainly doesn't) In anycase, I will see about getting that fixed. :mrgreen:

Yea that is the problem with exporting other peoples stuff :) no worries mate

Yea, bf2 lighting system can be wierd.

Might not be your problem, might be an unfortunate z-fighting related problem (depth buffer problem). I have always been against intersecting geometry, but in the cases with so common a weapon system as the AR-15 variants it is unavoidable with these modules.

Sent new files to Glimmerman. Let me know if it is right now or not.. Should there be just the edges of the locking rail visible or no edges?

Do you have any reference photo's showing the handle mounted on the top.. (Side views?) It would be good to see what it is supposed to look like. :mrgreen:

I also found after I sent the new files to Glimmerman, another uv error on the forestock. I'll fix it and send another set of mesh files. He also has my export scenes now as well..

Perhaps what should happen now, is someone take my export scene and do a quick fix of the uvmap for the various geoms. (Should only take an experienced UVMapper a half hour or so.)

Then you can rexport them from my scenes and it will be better. Just have the uvmapper select the polies that need the uv adjusted and apply an uv-unwrap. Move the faces as needed then collapse the stack. Then either send me the max scenes back, or just use the bf2 export tool and rexport them.

Whatever is easiest for you guys works for me. :-D

Yes, we know in the photo's that the handguard is offset and sitting low on top of the rifle. Unfortunatly, I did not notice it in the max scene before I exported it. (The dark textures and lighting on it, masked it.)

In anycase, its been fixed and new scenes have been submitted that should fix the problem. :-o

If it still isn't right.. Then I will export it again until it is looking proper. ;-)

Looks great KP, :)

How far along do you think you are at this time?

It's pretty much done, I think. A few minor things at most.

Cool m8 :)
Now lets find us a UVmapper for the job.

Shouldn't be too hard. The GL is mostly the same as the PR AG36 from the SA80, but I've modified and tweaked it to fit with the one used on the C7A1 mount.
