Another max2map problem

by Thales Ferreira · in Artist Corner · 11/21/2002 (6:59 am) · 5 replies

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to use the max2map exporter, but can't seem to export the objects, I followed everything in this tutorial http://holodeck.st.usm.edu/vrcomputing/vrc_t/tutorials/max2map/
that a lot of people in the forums used and which also had the files, but when I try to export I get an export module failure.
For the record, I'm using 3dmax5.
I would appreciate any ideas...
Thanks for the time and any help you could give.

How many polygons are in your scene (the export seems to puke if there are more than 18000 polygons to export)? Is everything textured? Is everything linked to detail_1?

Hi,
I'm trying to export a simple sphere, 32polygon, it is textured and linked to Detail_1, which is linked to Start and in turn to Base.

If you do not add the necessary values to the "file properties" the Map exporter will not export your objects to a Map file.

Here are the values you need to add to file properties...
name = wad
value = wadname

name = geometry_scale
value = 1

name = lighting_scale
value = 32

name = ambient_color
value = 0 0 0

name = emergency_ambient_color
value = 0 0 0

Hope this helps you out.

I already did that, so that's not it also... The file properties are set...
Any other ideas? :-)
Thanks for trying to help... :-)

The object also has to be named "Object1". Notice the number at the end. Also if the sphere won't go check it with a block or somthing simple if you haven't already.
I don't know where you got the exporter but try the one on this page: Torkdev downloads
It has been fixed to run in MAXr4 so maybe it will work for r5 also. It has worked fine for me in r4.

Hope that helps.
