Spring RTS Engine

hi guys !

i have a problam with the s3o exporter plugin, i cant install or simple dont work with my 3d max 9 .
- i have an error massege if i start run the max.
--DLL <C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max\ Plugins\s3oexporter.dle> failed initialize.
--Error 127 - The specified procedura could not be found
im simple copyted the file in the max-/ plugins- folder.

so i just can export into 3ds, but this is more many work. couse i use many piece of object in my unit. a simple unit is have 28

(edit)

Hi, Toulus. Just export your models as .3DS files.

Yes. UpSpring can load 3ds. Good luck.

oh, i know. and i confused. i thinked about 3ds. not 3do... and write bad.

but if i export to 3ds and import or load my model i lost the childrens and the pivots right cordinates.

and sure i can work in upspring but many work.. re move for good place the elements and pivots.

Ahhh, quite a nuisance, can't help you there

np, i just thinked somebody is have or know a newer exporter or i instaled bad the plugin.

No, it's just Upspring. It does that

PS. Don't pre-pose models in upspring. It breaks stuff.

Yeah, do it by script.

no,no that is not perfect, in script if want nice and clean work i need correct model. but i have time s this is a just a little problam.

and i dont understand why u guys talking about the upsring

my problam.. the the s3o exporter plugin (dl) and max9.

When he said "do it in script", he meant pre-posing (ie pre-posing an infantryman's model so that he holds his gun)

The s3o export script only works with MAX v8 and earlier AFAIK.

easiest way is just export as *.3ds and import into upspring, and set the object origins. i do the same thing from Wings, takes me anout 10 minutes to do the whole thing.

I never correct anything in upspring, reimporting and setting origins up doesn't take so long.

I kinda understood that you wanted to pose the model, hence I suggested doing it by script, because your model shouldn't be posed at all.

10.
-make the new sounds
11.
-name, test , balance , show here

What do you mean by pre-pose? Setting the origins is a necessary step, but rotating pieces to pose the unit for a default stance for example is what you should avoid doing in upspring and do by script instead.

Maybe I misunderstood what you were on about...

the "pre-posing" world that used Guessmyname ,
and what i wanted say
if i importing in upspring a 3ds file i lose the pivot orgional position (where i wanted in max9) . and i need move to the right place.
so why? more shorten ,nice and clean srcipts. bu im new here.. and i have many question...

rotating moving posing in upsring ,why? move the right place the object is posing?

but u are not answered my question.
(if u want certainly)

rotating moving posing in upsring ,why? move the right place the object is posing?

No, that's positioning.

About the s3o-exporter, I think it was for max7 or some lower version.
