Sketchup to Game...

The tutorial covers, modeling in sketchup, texturing in sketchup, importing / exporting the dff, col file in 3DS Max and Gmax, creating TXDS, and using MEd.

I am going to be making an html version avaible shortly, but at the moment, its in PDF.

@Gangsta Killa This is really good, Im gonna give this a try.


EDIT: Need Help.

I add my col, dff and txd to the archive then rebuild it, open up MED and it loads 95% of map files then quits out.
Now when there not in the archive it dont quit out.
Any ideas, how to fix this ?

nope, free sketchup cant export gmax files.
neither can sketchup pro but it can export in .3ds format and gmax can read that

Why I can't export *.3Ds files with Gmax?

[Kiragatash]

I got a little prob using MEd v0.32

1) The black screen stays black
2) I don't see scroll bar, tick box, ...

See screen, I think it because of my System

I followed this tutorial and it helped me out a lot!
The only problem is, my model DOES show up in MEd.
But it DOES NOT show up in the game.

I'm making a simple house model for GTA III.
I figured out that the COL file can't be in the image.
The collision file shows up in the game, I ran into it >.<
But I don't see the house.

Why is this?

[E_vilestro]

Can this process work with VC?

Sorry for the bump but my Google sketchup can't export in 3ds for some reason.

Im Gonna try out this tutorial , I have all the tools and a knowlege of how to use them but it will be my first attempt at modding gta, I was just wondering if there have been any major changes to the tutorial process decribed in the PDF? (as this post is over a year old now - Jun 1 2007), Thnx

AGGGGHHH , wished i'd looked into Gmax a little further because Gmax

Doesnt export 3DS files! and the Tutorial suggests either '3DSmax' or 'Gmax' !

So for anyone else following this tutorial ...


DONT USE GMAX !

There is no Export/Import Script ..as far as im aware


Anyhoo.. I completed the process with 3DSmax
(The only other flaw I found in the tutorial is at the end it says 'choose your IPL and click install. And go to file -> save install. And that’s it, you’ve done'

It should be 'Click Save' (also I dont get why his end picture shows the bus ontop of the obect he created and not in it?)

Apart from that its an awesome tutorial for the dumbest of newbie wannabie monkey brain modders.

Here was my result , a storm drain tunnel
