[Guide]Item Model Making (Custom Items)

[InfinitPower]

nice nice!!!

Alright, well I've looked through these pages before, and I don't recall if the answer I need is in there or not, and I am very very tired, so could someone please help me out with a little issue I have?

How come, some of the items I try to replace with my models will not change? Such as itWS103 and itWS102?
I have tested with others, like WS204 works perfectly every time.

Thank you, and I apologize if I missed the answer in an earlier post.

hi jess, check if the item code exist in the game and the server, u know, normally the items are from 101 to 122 and some times to 124, the items and about the ws, from 101 to 122 are bows, from 201 to 225 are swords, so check if the code is correct, maybe u have a custom code remplacing the old one. In order to get the item working, u must have same item code in server (the complete table) and in the client, also the same name in the txt-zhoon file, with that, the item must work well.

This is very usefull.

Just wondering... Is it possible to create monsters too?

[bobsobol]

The short answer is... yes.

Of course it's not quite the same process.

K thx

Now i have a problem. I tryied to follow the guide to add a material to an armor posted some pages ago and the game logs in fine. But when i put the armor on i get DC. What I'm I doing wrong?

[SoyEdu]

its about how you edited the ase file, maybe you did something wrong, you should post the Ase to let me see what you did. Remember to put the bmp file in the right place also.
You dont need to upload the file, just open with the notepad and paste in a new reply.

[capital22]

I deleted the .ase file because i got mad when i didn't work

I'll try to add again later

Another question, where can i download the 3dwin5?

[unzubaru]

Google? And perhaps you didnt set the bone meshes or something like that?

[bobsobol]

I can't seem to use 3dWin5. But I suspect that's because it's reliant on that .com file, x64 OS stopped supporting 16-bit DOS applications. Maybe it would work under DOSBox. Or is the version I eventually found just really really old? lol

[SoyEdu]

i suggest to use 3D max studio, but if u cant or just dont want, and if u cant find that program, i suggest then Wings3d.
Want a free program?, really good?, an official-free-full working-powerfull program?, well go for Blender 3D, with that program u can do entire games it self with its Motor.

When i started to moddel my first items for PT, i did with wings 3D, is ez to find, u can get tons of tutorials around the net (or youtube) and in one day u can start to build ur items, in the next day u will lern how to texturize them.

[bobsobol]

Are these instead of 3dWin5 Soy? As in, do you actually not need 3dWin5 if you use 3D Studio Max, Wings 3D or Blender?

[SoyEdu]

it depends of wich format - mesh willyou open, 3d has a really big collection of plugins to import many mesh formats, same as Blender.
Wings 3d is a simple program to moddel, really ez to understand but cant manage alot of formats but with that you can export the mesh as an obj and use in any 3d program like max, blender, maya.

If you have a specific format to open then use the 3dwin, you can use this demo to test http://www.tb-software.com/download_1.html
(3dwin is not a 3d program, is something like a converter)

Does anyone know why I can not create custom items anymore?

I use to be able to do it just fine!

But, not any time I try to create a new item,
as soon as I log-in, i get a stupid game.exe, and it wont stop unless I remove the .ase file and put the old .smd back.

maybe the .ase file is too big? I don't know!

help?
