Why won't the Vehicle Importer load any "more" objects?

Post by Skull Kid »

So... this is my problem... I got 3ds Max 5 installed on my desktop (Microsoft Windows 8 Pro 64-bit) and the Battlefield 1942 Mod Development Toolkit 2.0 installed (was included on my 4-disc Battlefield 1942 World War II Anthology), and lastly, the BattleGroup42 mod and the Forgotten Hope + Secret Weapons installed.

Now... the problem is something like this: I cannot seem to import (with the Vehicle Importer) any sort of vehicles that is more than one certain amount. Does anyone know why this occurs? :?

I think I know what you mean. I've run into a similar problem, and this is what I tried that has helped me:

- Try refreshing the mod list in the Import Vehicle window.

- Try deleting the files in the 3DS Max directory.

When the program "imports" a vehicle, it simply copies the files into one of the 3DS Max folders. Deleting them sometimes helps solve the problem. I have also solved it by simply refreshing the mod list when choosing what mod you want to import the vehicle from.

I also suggest getting the latest MDT version. That never hurts, as features have changed drastically from the 2.0 version. Just check the mod tools section in this forum.

I see. I am using the MDT 2.75 right now. 2.0 seems... well... obsolete, but it installs the shortcuts correctly on the start screen (I use Windows 8).
