[Guide]Item Model Making (Custom Items)

[SiK]

Not a clue why it would still be all white, you must have skipped a stepped
and also, you should try to have the skin you try to graft onto the model in the same folder as the model.

Sorry, i wasnt very clear on texturing the items.

If your item is white:

Be sure the bitmap path to the texture is in the dropitem folder. If its in wrong folder, it appears to be white.

To export as smd:

Export as *.ase file (must be same name as item you replace) Delete old smd, and run the game. Game.exe converts it to smd.


When using multiple objects but they appear in different spots in the game:

You must set the pivots all to the same location. When you create seperate objects, but they are together in max, by default the new objects pivot is not the right position. The best way to do this is make a "Parent" model, usually this would be the handle or main peice of the item, set the pivot. After, when you add a seperate object, select it, and "attach" to the parent object. They will become one and share the same pivot. It will ask if you want to share the material IDs, do not alllow them to share or the newly attached object will change texture.

Post if you continue to have issues. Hope some of this helped.

You would have to wait for someone with the knowledge of that to post a guide (they do exist).

I know of two groups with properly working Importer/Exporter's for PT's texture files, but neither group will release their work.

How would you hex them in?

I use hex editor in game.exe client of rPT and i find WP301, i think they just change the Halberd code to WP301 which is Golden Sickle i try it and i also modify some hex code in itwp301.smd and it works now i can summon and use Golden Sickle also in other custom items like frost scythe etc... you must hex edit both client and server exe files

I read the tut here so i decided to make my own weapon. everything looked nice on 3dmax...untill i went ingame.
heres the result:
When i wear it, its something i didnt even make, but on the floor its rlly my weapon. how do i fix this?

If u cant explain, but u know how to do it, could i send the .max file so u can edit it, then send it back to me? thanks in advance, greg.

i did everything right..
