This is a very simple tut on how to set up multi-sub material on a simple pyramid, some objects are way more intricate than a simple pyramid shape and it might require some quick UVM mapping which i will explain if you guys want in a future tut..

This tut was requested by: _Charger_



PART 1




Step one: Make your object




Step 2: Open your material editor (press M on your keyboard)





Step 3: Click on your material browser






Step 4: Select "Multi-Sub-Object"





Step 5: Discard your old material (Always do this for any object that had previous texture mapping or you will get multi/sub error from max)





Step 6: 1- Assign your material
2- Edit material id 1






Step 7: Open your maps for the matid and place it on bitmap and browse for your textures(s) (Red circled maps are usable with script and blue is new map that is now usable)

PART 2



Step 8: Make sure your object is placed on editable poly if not convert it





Step 9: Select the faces of your objects you wish to texture in editable poly






Step 10: Set the matid for the faces you just selected (and click-in show map in viewport)






Step 11: Go back to your multi-material





Step 12: Select your second matid





Step 13: Select your second set of faces and set their matid's in this case its id-2





Step 14: This pyramid is now fully textured with multi sub and ready to export, now place your object in center of your scene (first steps in red, last finishing steps in green utilities being absolute last)





Object centered



Last Export Step: When centered, export your model as it ready to go (In yellow, place your object grey so it can be ready to be used later for wbd collisions)

Exporting


Successful wdr export with multi-sub

How to create WBD? Should I export the same model (that is exported as WDR) ? Or I have to make it low-poly.. please reply!

[_Charger_]

you should export the wdr-object as wbd, but if it's to highpoly it maybe doesn't work right ingame.

EDIT: OMG thanks. i got it working with your tut for a conversion. no error hope it will work ingame

I have a problem, i got it to work now with Shadow-mapper, but theres a problem, i just cant see my model ingame, but in shadow mapper it is placed and i can see it, and if i save it i also see the model if i restart shadowmapper (so it does save a 100%!) there must be another problem... i just cant see it ingame, but its saved and im standing right on the position where i placed it in shadowmapper

[_Charger_]

there seems tio be a problem with the modelname in wpl, use shadowmapper to place and another one to edit the name of the model in wpl (i use dagerons placement tool)

[BWARazor]

still got the same problem, no objects ingame, but in shadowmapper

[Shadow-Link]

Make sure a wtd is assigned, if not make the WTD name "null" in the ide entry.

[BWARazor]

didn´t fix it, maybe this will help: i can see the model, when i replace it with an existing one, wit textures, but i changed the origin and its still the original ingame, but not in the wpl

[BWARazor]

Would someone please upload the original nj_liberty.wpl and nj_liberty.ide i would be VERY thankful, coz i modded them, and they work no more, problem is i thought i made a backup, but didnt

how does the import of IV wdr with textures work? when i import a IV wdr the textures are not loaded (only multi/sub but no diffuse map)

PS importung of IV models in 3DS Max not into the game.

Have the textures saved as png's in the same folder as the wdr.

@BWARazor: Depends what version u use. If you're using 0.3.0 you need to change the name inside max to the name of the wdr.

I have 0.3.0 and well the collision doesn't work ingame and I can't export WDR from 0.3.0 is there anyway I can have the 0.2.3 version? which really worked for me pretty well (COL Wise)

[Luten]
