The mdt object generator

I’ve tried using this to create weapons or other items for a mod but when using it and following the steps on the bfsp site for weapons, nothing works. I either get an empty set of soldier hands or the game crashes when loading with that faction. Any ideas of what’s going wrong? My primary interest ...

Re: bc42 for xpacks

Thanks. I'll try it out and reach back if any issues come up.
One question for the extracting, is that so I can pull all the sm/rs files and other required things? OR am I missing it entirely?

Re: Create "holes" in the Heightmap for tunnels?

On the topic of the eagle nest tunnel, how did you get it working? I can’t ever manage it. Or any other custom/ported object either.

Re: assets from expansions for map creating

Anyone have any ideas on why objects are appearing in bc42 but not in game. I have manually set the init to have run objects/objects from the decompressed rfa and repacked it. More complex items like the eagle nest tunnel and top snow don’t show, but even simple buildings like the Italy tower from t...

bc42 for xpacks

Hi, is it possible to set bc42 to read the xpacks as target locations for static objects, factions, etc? Specifically to make a mod for say, secret weapons in the secret weapons mod folder?

Then how do we get it to appear in our maps? I’m new to this and terrible at it too. Can’t ever get custom objects or stuff from the xpacks to work.

Need a structure or static object made

Has anyone had luck making a static object that looks like terrain or something similar? I’m looking to make a map with some underground base areas and I cannot get 3dsmax or gmax to run on my system. The object should be flat in some area before curving into a steep mountain that can be placed a fe...

Is that an easy way to get objects to be placeable and visible?
Or what are you talking about exactly?

Re: assets from expansions for map creating

For specific objects like the tunnel from eagles nest, how do we go about grabbing and adding all the needed files? I’ve tried it twice now and it’ll never show up textured right in bc42 and nothing loads in game. Please advise.
