Custom object bf1942

First of all sorry for my English.
Well my question is how do I spend my 3dmax models to the game. Anyone have a good tutorial? thanks
Martin.

That is what the MDT does. It has a converter. Make each independent object one mesh, and make sure they all have the correct collisions and LODs. A tutorial is here;

Welcome to the site.
The original 3dsmax tools were designed for versions up to Max 7. Senshi here has made an updated version of these tools which support the newer versions of max. you can find a link for this in the modding tool section of this forum.
shout if you have problems.

I'm just gonna take a shot. You don't have the names BF1942 likes. That is all I can muster, because I'm not going to work with models till I know how to texture them.

PS; sorry about my last comment. It wasn't very friendly or helpful. It didn't show my mood correctly.

PS; sorry about my last comment.

It's okay, I've done the same thing before, later realizing how much of an asshole comment it was.

I agree, a lot of problems can come up if the objects aren't named properly.

bbox_objectName
COL01_objectName
COL02_objectName
LOD01_objectName-1

.. or if the object is named "objectName_m1" ...

bbox_objectName_m1
COL01_objectName_m1
COL02_objectName_m1
LOD01_objectName_m1-1

Basically,
"bbox" is the bounding box. This is important for the game, but I'm not sure why. Someone here knows why, but not me.
"COL01" is a collision mesh, used for ground/object collisions.
"COL02" is a collision mesh, used for projectile and player collisions.
"LOD01" is a level-of-detail mesh, the visible mesh that players can see.

"COLO2" is what responds to infantry and projectiles, there aren't 2 COLO1s.

Sorry, it was a typo. Thanks for catching that though!
