odol explorer doesn't work with the new p3d?

odol explorer doesn't work with the new p3d?

of course not m8... that's a shame... but... BIS released all the models in MLOD format

[Mateck]

Hi, I'm working on a new M1A1 Abrams (My first addon) and I'm having problems with lights textures and clan logo texture.



I'm using BIS sample models and I didn't change anything in lights models or lights textures. I've created model.cfg based on a BIS model.cfg. I've added "L svetlo" and "P svetlo" to the sections so they need to be turned on to show up, but they still appears black. Also there are some problems with transparency on clan logo in multiplayer.

I will be very grateful for any suggestions.

[Linker Split]

hmm, did you check if the quad you use for the lights got the proper RVMAT?

[Mateck]

It uses default_flash_2pass.rvmat from Ca.pbo so I'm guessing it is proper RVMAT.

then it seems to me it's a binarizing problem.
Once you've created the model.cfg, have you binarized the model with that model.cfg?

[Mateck]

Yes, I have binarized the model with model.cfg.

That model.cfg is based on original m1_abrams model.cfg but maybe I did something wrong. Here is my model.cfg if You want to check it out. I will be very grateful.

is your model named ch_m1abrams.p3d?
Or ch_m1abrams2.p3d

[Mateck]

I'm using 2 models for 2 different versions of M1A1. First is named ch_m1abrams.p3d and second is named ch_m1abrams2.p3d. Both have the same issue.

looking at your model.cfg, it seems that when you wrote the cfgModels you added the P svetlo and L svetlo section to the cfgModels class. Try remove them, don't use, cause the tankbase class has these sections hardcoded.
Just be sure that the memory points are at their places and name of sections are the same used by the BI abram

Problem is that when I don't add L svetlo, P svetlo and zasleh, this sections will be visible every time. Even if the lights are turned off or mg is not firing.

But finally it's started to work properly
I have just reinstalled Oxygen, added all needed data, like extracted tracked.pbo, to P:\CA directory and it works



Sorry for making any troubles and thank You for interesting in my problem.

[Eddie]

Unwrap the model to get a mapping of it then you should know where everything is.

Try this.

I looked but does this have a p3d plugin or do you need to convert it to something else?

always use the 3DS extension, to easily import and export models

[Eddie]

Does O2 import 3dS?

if not what is the conversion process?

[Rellikki]

Does O2 import 3dS?

if not what is the conversion process?

It does. From the top bar, go to File -> Import and there you'll find it.

oops my mistake does it impoer p3d...... and if not whats the process

[Linker Split]

oops my mistake does it impoer p3d...... and if not whats the process

Lol O2 is used to create p3d models...

[Eddie]

WOW did i type that wrong or what!!!

i know O2 is for p3d lol

i want to know how to import a p3d into the unwrap program thats in the link posted abve.

LMAO sorry for the confusion

You should export the P3D model into 3DS format, then import into the unwrap program...

Ok so here is the coding for my Ferdinand/Elefant addon. It doesn't give any error messages but when I go into the editor it doesn't appear anywhere? what is wrong? If there is a problem but no error message will it not appear in the editor? Also please comment if you see anything wrong with any of the scripts.. kk thanks

this is the Config.cpp
