- If Start in directory is the DCS game folder, copy BMP to DCS/Bazar/TempTextures

Yeah, done it. I just used Cadaver.bmp from there.

Thats what DCS log said

Excellent !

Use plugin v62806 :)

[BR55Sevas]

Damn! You are right bro ;)

62806 is magic number today for me. All works!

Thank you very much!

Same problem here with the latest as of today's date. Try 62806.

Unusable EDMplugin released...

Be patient please, I am working on it

Self illumation texture sample in the EDMplugin

 

 

Click on Empty (LOL) button on your EDM Export Toolbar,

and go to bottom of webpage. Check 2nd attachement image.

Mirror question:

 

Create a mirror texture in 3ds max. Example: mir

Use this texture for your mirror meshes.

And create this line in your liveries description lua:

 

livery =

{

{"mir", 0 ,"mirrors",true};--mirrors texture replacement with runtime rendered one

}

Can everyone agree that build 62806 works fine?

[59th Ducky]

+1 :thumbup:

[luckybob9]

Everyone use build 62806 and do not update until further notice. The newer builds are preparing for future changes. That is all I can say on the subject for now.

[59th Ducky]

We would like to support new EDM plugins the 3ds Max Bones feature for animated pilot arms, legs, etc.

Is it possible ?

I think Cockpit-P-51.edm using it.

[Blaze]

EDM already supports bones and skeletal animations AFAIK. Used already on P-51 pilot and a few other things.

62806 is still considered working?

Because if yes then it must be me and I won't bother you guys.

I just downdows the last plugin of edm, But I have a problem, the last Plugin that I used I maked cool all textures, And worked fine, But when I installed the las plugin when I export to edm format, in dcs is transparence, no cockpit no external model, and the texture are "cool" and the .edm format is about 4MB both of models, what is the problem??

The consensus seems that it works perfectly. What issue are you having?

As Ducky said, read post 165, or better yet, always read the first post of a thread. All relative information is there

[Weltensegler]

Well I work 15h+ usually and fall asleep while scripting or animating privately after work so I hesitate a bit to bother you with something that's probably stupid.

 

I tried it with an older max version last n8 (2010) created just a box, converted it to editable mesh (just in case the export has a problem with the standard primitive header) created a simple material with bitmap texture (to be save I took it from the bazar/temp... in DCSA10C where I start the model viewer), created the custom attributes (make cool) etc exported, export log looks good, viewer opens but stays empty and nowhere else on my harddrives is any *.edm (besides the plugin file itself); where does it export to?

 

win7x64bit, latest C+, max version 64bit etc.

Don't use in-game ModelViewer.

Donwload this standalone ModelViewer: ftp://ftp1.files.eagle.ru/mods/model_viewer/

All version correct and usable !!!
