Creating Equipment/Items

Ok so i create the image of the sword i want to add to my server... But how do i make a ELU file for it....

Also can anyone tell me how to edit the size of my weapons..?

first open blender
go to view
then go to options

you'll see a button click on it then press start and shut down your computer

erm.... I don't understand how this helps me...? and i cant find options inside of view

naab go to tut section

Got to love the RZ community.

Anyway, to export the ELU from blender, select your model in Object Mode, then go to File>Export and look for the ELU option. If you dont have it, install the script found in the development section.

As for resizing your objects, select what you want to resize and hit the S key. You can then move your mouse around to resize it.

Is this in the wrong section or wa?

You Sir, are cool.... The rest of you nubs are not o.O..

I got it working through what you posted, I have one final question though... Clearly there is no DDS import/export script, is there? Anyways my point is... Say I am creating an entirely new weapon I have the DDS made through Photoshop CS4, but I would still need a ELU formatted file, how would I go around creating that file...?

If you can help me with that last bit, you will be the most helpful person I have met on Rage Zone thus far :)

your trying to re-color the already made weapon. just use the original elu there.
Now Blender is for making .elu files and totally new weapons.

Um theres a tut on having background images in blender so you can *trace* the image, Styx modelling tutorial, tutorials section

Ok, but if I were to make a new weapon what then...?

if you trying to make a new weapon.
Use Blender to make and export the elu file then make the dds file for it with photoshop.

Oh... I would have to create the entire image myself then.... Guess i need to find someone to do that, cuz i suck at creating good looking images.

Thanks for the helps guys.

P.S Wess, if you are feeling extra helpful take a look at the MPOG page... My post on last page.
