A ---compiling plugins---
1. open lunaplus source code. anmexp, maxexp and Mtlexp are plugin for 3DSmax. YOU SHOULD HAVE INSTALED 3DSmax SDK. versi 8 is recomended.
2. open maxexp folder. open maxexp.sln with vs2003
3. right click and select property. sorry my vs2003 is spanish but I am sure have same feature with other.
4. go to C/C++ > General. add/change 3dsmax8sdk(include and lib) to your current installed 3dsmax8sdk folder. mine as seen in picture.
5. here is another box you must change.
6. close property and compile
7. same goes to anmexp and Mtlexp.
8. copy Mtlexp.dle, anmexp.dle and maxexp.dle to 3dsmax8 plugins folder.

7. now we need coloring it. press M and material editor will be appear. scrool down. expand "maps". open file explorer, find tif file, drag and drop to disfuse "none" box. (if you don't have tif file, you can convert png file with adobe photoshop. make sure you add alpha channel to tif)

2. copy mod and tif file to luna/data/3ddata/character. then open modlist_e_w.bin (I choose elf woman because my luna char). find OH_Sword001.MOD and rename it to your MOD file name. if you have "_DONOTUSEENGINEPACK" file in luna folder, you don't need to packing character folder.
