Script's fully compatible with 3D MAX 2012.
Other versions after 9 SP 1 should work too, but they won't be supported by me.

Script needs OpenIV 1.0(or newer version) for openFormats<>Game_Resource conversion(ODR<>WDR, OBN<>WBN, etc... ).
Further information about openFormats's on the OpenIV website, or HERE.

Abilities:

QUOTE

+ IDE import/export + WPL import/export + Paths import/export + Water/Shorelines import/export + ODR/ODD import/export + OBN/OBD import/export

Script's starting from the "Utilities" tab.

+Added poly smoothing groups support for WDR exporter



Download from the header post.

Cool, we got Gims back and going over! cool!
so, this new WDR exporter means...a happily and cool export without expecting errors at Scriptlistener?

[pmillett]

Excellent. Any news on WFT?

[3Doomer]

GIMS won't support any other model resources than WDR, only openFormats.
WDR export also won't support any new shaders, because I can't understand the resources structure well, and Shadow's DLL don't support them

[pmillett]

ok that makes sense..... I guess.

+Fixed texture coordinates error in WDR exporter

[TheChopShop]

good to see GIMS get it's own thread

14.04.2011 0:22 UTC: after flippn all the materials into GTA4Mesh, and double checking that each poly material ID for each part ran in correct succession, there's still a lot not showing..
the tower, tower base and cables are finally visible.. but none of the tarmac, walls, bridge or any other parts are.. so am I correct in assuming that the wpl export is still a bit buggd?



or are there any significant updates in 15:4 that would cure this?

[3Doomer]

try to export models with only one texture and all poly material IDs set to 1

[goin-god]

Didn't know about this project. Looks very good.

[bammargera]

This sounds brilliant, any plans on the IV skeleton system in the future? Allowing custom ped's and player models?

[3Doomer]

Models with all features support'll be realized through the openFormats(see OpenIV thread)

yeah! that would nice if he planned..

[quechus13]

So how many polys can we export through the WDR exporter?

[3Doomer]

As many, as you want, there's no limit...but don't forget to resave models through the openFormats

doesn't that defeat the purpose? (tower base shows and it has 3 materials assigned (1 sub/multi))

guess I'll try again with 17-4 tho - btw, OFs saved wdr's crash Zm on import

[quechus13]

Well I couldn't export 20,000 Polys (WDR)

[3Doomer]

May be, it's Shadow's DLL error, or your mistake...why can't?

I've fixed smoothing groups export today, archive's updated.

[pmillett]

Question! Will the exporters for WFT and WDR eventually be OFT/ODR for openFormats? Since they (openFormats Team) can tell you the structure to export Shaders? Or am I over thinking this?

[3Doomer]

yes, mine WDR exporter(which uses Shadow's plugin) is a temprorarily solution.
there'll be openFormats ODR,OFT...
