Battlefield Modding Tutorials BFMODS

I had that exact same problem! took me for ever to fix it, i had to search about a million google pages to get a working installation for it. Just search google, and if i find it i will put the link up here.

I know how you feel, but i will search and search to try and find it for you.

And Zaitsef, since you know a lot about this, I need some serious help unwrapping my model to create a texture for it. I have no clue where to start, i've been messing around with LithUnwrap and other tools but everytime i convert my model back into a standardmesh it takes away all the material edits. I need to know how to make one of those texture layouts that all objects have so i can color it like that.

Thanks

hmm, the texporter plug-in give a pretty good template of the uvw to draw on.

other than that 3ds max is pretty easy to use for unwrapping, just dont forget to collapse ur uvw before exporting into .sm

Ur Material effects will be lost, since battlefield only has one material =Battlefield RS, and the definitions made in 3ds are always lost during export, seems to be a bug in the battlefield tools plug-in or i am too stupid to install it correctly.
so the RS file needs to be tweaked anyway later on. it defines all the shader definitions. The texture .dds responds to it. gameengine provides the lightsource.

its not rocketscience, comes easy once u "grab" the basic mechanics.


U ll find out that everything timeconsuming was left out of process, come on , its EA GAMES, its gotta be cheap and simple.

behind this mask there is an idea, and ideas are bulletproof

well, part of it is the path for 3dsmax set up while installing ...

Default is C:/3dsMax , i changed it to c:/program files/3dsmax.

Then install MDT, and run them

In there just click install 3dsmax tools.

when u open 3dsmax now u should see the bf942 tools rider top right on screen.
