Sandurr's SMD Converter!

Err... should that read:-

how to convert to an .smd ?

If so the answer is

• Make sure there is no .smd of the same name available to the client.(This will force the client to read the .ase)
• Run the client. (Game.exe)

Then the client will "compile" (telatoros' descriptive, but I like it) the .ase into an .smd for quicker loading next time. ^_^

.smd converter .ase .
edit it with 3dmax7 , how to convert .smd ?

Just place the ase in the same folder as the smd, Delete the smd.
Pristontale reads the ase and automatically converts it to smd.

I already downloaded 3DS Max 6 but I cant use the plugins, they all show error when I am loading them! Can someone please make a guide of how to use this tool?

 

[Vormav]

asciiimp.dli need to be in plugins directory
asciiexp.dle need to be in stdplugs directory

I have never used 3d max 6 (never managed to find a DL for it), I only use 3ds max 7 and 8.
What errors do you get when the plugins are loading?

asciiimp.dli need to be in plugins directory
asciiexp.dle need to be in stdplugs directory

lol STD plugs. Sounds liken the worst porno ever.

But holy crap. Chucking asciiexp.dle into the 'stdplugs' directory instead of the 'plugins' makes my 3ds max stop giving errors on startup saying

Class <AsciiExp> from <asciiexp.dli has duplicate class ID: not loading
This may be due to a duplicate pug-in path.
Continue showing this warning for other duplicates?

Thanks mate!

The plugins where built from the Max 7 SDK, and need VCPP7 debug dlls installed on the machine as well. IINM.

I don't remember if I got them to work on Max 6 but I could only get hold of Max 6 and Max 8, so have never been able to rebuild the plugins without the VS dependency.

That's showing your age SunnyZ. We call them STIs now.

Can you believe how this girl treats me like a king?
she took more than she gave to me
i gave her love, i got an STD
when she comes home i hope that she'll marry me​

STD = Sexually Transmitted Disease.
STI = Sexually Transmitted Infection.
IDK why infections have become more "politically correct" than diseases.

Anyone had much success with this with maps?
I converted battle town etc back to ase as it was causing client to crash, let the game turn them into SMD's but now it has no colouring, only a few of the textures made it across (ie. the tree's have colour)

is the texture folder the same as the map SMD folder? or am I way off base :/

 

[SunnyZ]

Open then re-save your texture files. 24bit BMP

You are giving game.exe error. The screenshot is in Portuguese

@diroba it will error if there is no SMD nor ASE file to build off, during login it checks the files and if they arent there it will crash.

Use the SMD converter to build the ASE off the original SMD,
Remove the SMD from the field folder and put the ASE in its place.
Then open the game and go to that field. it will then build the SMD from the ase (first load may drop you into an abyss, second load should be fine)

iiNet
Yeah I host myself NOW.
But this post was from like 8 years ago. SO files were on my ISP's free website.
I called em up initially, they had duck all idea what I was on about, I guess no one used it?
So they thought they could save money and phase it out? NOPE! Not on my books!
Host ISP is like we dunno why ur website doesn't work.
Cant access anything on it now via http, how ever can still upload via ftp... :?:

punt's fucked mate
Not just individual files, whole thing is le fucked.

Waiting for a "permission reset". lets see how it goes... Long weekeend, I dont have my hope up lol. Either way when links die, ill put em on my website and my others for mirrors, just takes time :sneaky2:

ever since iinet got bought by tpg their service went downhill :/
loving my aussie broadband, except they block a bunch of ports by default, but an email asking them to unblock ports had them open it within a few hours.

Place smd model into a folder path which has no spaces in it.

C:/SMDConversion/test.smd = Good Path
C:/SMD Conversion/test.smd = Bad Path
