Yes always access the plugins through that menu on the right:

screenshot?

what plugin build are you trying? it might be a bad one. have you tried another?

yay wikipedia!

Issue is with the unwrap it seems. If I am correct, it can be solved by moving the pieces on the template around to match, or modifying the model file and the unwrap on it. If you compare Ricardo's texture file with the stock one, do they align?

As far as I know, it will continue to use the new .EDM format

timing is still unknown. My guess would be after an EDGE product has been released, but I could be wrong

Do you have TrackIR or anything else? I know F8 in trackir does something and will take priority over DCS inputs. If not, unplug everything (pedals, throttle, stick, etc) and try it

If anyone notices other things that have issues or has ideas, PM me, maybe I can help like this

It also has a fixed LOD3 model. The original was too blocky for my tastes

When a change comes around I will update the first post. However there are no real differences in the builds so far

When its ready ;)

Try exporting using file -> export. Then select EDM. Upload your file as well please, but save in the Max 2010 format. I know someone who uses German Max 2011 (I think) and it works.

Basic tutorial/ QA is the first post of this thread. That error means that you have a material assigned that does not have ED's custom assignments to it. It might not appear in the material editor depending how you created your model, but using the sucker tool in the material editor, select your mesh if you know which one is bad and it will appear. A1: To correct textures: Textures need to have a special material type assigned to them. This is done by opening the Material Editor (M key). Select your texture slot. Then click on Utilities, EDModelTool, then click "Make Cool". If you do not see EDModelTool, Click 'More' in the Utilities tab and select it. Back in the Material Editor, you will now see a new category called "Material Attributes". For most items, use "Default" in the pull down section. Do this for each material slot and export normally.

Normally when it as for username and password that means that there are too many people connected to the FTP at once. 3) I have a 32bit system. Why am I unable to run it? A) The standalone version of Modelviewer only contains 64bit binaries. Indeed the wisdom of mustang is correct. Judging by your wallpaper you are running Windows XP, which is about 99% of the time 32 bit. There was a 64 bit version of Windows XP but it was so rare I'm guessing you don't have it. The standalone Modelviewer will not work on 32 bit machines.

Updated first post with information on standalone Modelviewer

Trailer video: Im not sure if anyone ever played Mechassault on the original xbox, but I know I logged a HUGE amount of hours on that game. After about 10 years, the company is making another one and beta signups opened today. You can sign up using this link and, if you want, put my name as the referrer. (same username): http://www.reignofthunder.com/forums/register.php?referrerid=140 Since some of the people on the Dev team are ones who made Mechwarrior, I am very curious how they incorporate some simulation aspects into a game that will have a mostly arcade feel to it. Also, does anyone know what ever became of that Mechwarrior-3015 teaser a bit ago? I have heard nothing since.

opps. typo. thanks!

Make sure textures are different and not the same. It should be completely different. IE, one should not affect the other

I will verify this tomorrow. I thought I copied from max user defined correctly I am confused on what is working vs not working. does glass work? what animations are missed. Landing gear collision should be normally made. I mostly work with structures and not buildings, so several parts of damage models I do not know a lot about

Ells, see updated first post

That is the change :) by default it ignores alpha channel Opps sorry grand! Yes, glass is more than just checking the checkbox. You must assign alpha texture, and select custom material.

what version of max. PM me the model

what is the model? check it in modelviewer and what happens?

Step 2a) In the the new EDM tool plugin on the far right, select your textures, then click "Make Cool". then assign your material properties in the new options that appear in the material rollout. Usually selecting "Default" is fine.
