That is just incredible. I'll be writing a news post on your work soon. Thanks again.

[Elric]

Interesting! I will have to check this out!

[Elric]

UPDATE: I checked it out and it didnt work completely in RenX. Only some of the autobind feature seemed to work (namely the hands + sword) or does this feature only work in 3ds max? if thats the case then screw RenX and ill go looking for the recommended version of max.

Mathijs, thanks!
Elric, I have only tried it on Max, but if you say that it doesn't work on RenX, then it doesn't!

Alright thanks! What version of max do you use? 

[NDC]

It's 3ds Max 8. Good luck!

[Mathijs]

It works so well. I'll be putting your latest one up on the3rdage.net and link to it in the coming news post.

[NDC]

Thank you for the feedback, Mathijs!
I hope the script will be useful for the community!
Meanwhile I may have a look at the animations, but it may take more than quite a while!

Works great except for the auto bind on my 3ds Max 2011 (64-bit) version.

Has anyone seen this error before?

 

-Runtime error - array index must be +ve number, got:0

 

This happens on all 3ds versions, 7, 8, even 2015. It seems to only happen when importing models from bfme1 mods. 

 

The box surrounding the error refers to Maxscript w3dimporter.ms 

 

The error can be closed but usually what follows is that half the model is missing

[MattTheLegoman]

This is the same issue that Mathijs was experiencing with this model:

Unfortunately it wasn't solved. :I

Right, ta, Ill stop banging my head against the wall

I get this error when importing skins:

 

--Type error: Call needs function or class, got: undefined

 

Has anybody ever seen this or at least understand what it's trying to tell me?

Oh yes, I've seen that chap before!
It just happens to crop up while some random models are imported - which one have you got it with?

[Lenwë]

Oh I sorted it out now, it's just I had been trying to set it up with Renx instead of gmax. All models used to give me that error though.

[NDC]

Ah, I see!
Do let me know if something crops up - I'll try to look into it!

Quite fabulous news for the modding community indeed. Great work NDC =)

Just out of curiosity... the importer "only" works with umanoid infantry units right, not monsters like trolls, dragons and mumakil? 

[Rider of Rohan]

It works with most of the bfme w3d files. You can import almost anything with binding if applicable however secondary rigging is not processed, but it most cases can easily be fixed.

Uhm, I know the H in "Humanoid" is silent, but come on.. You still write it Seriously though, there's no difference between humanoid units and the rest of them, so there's no reason it shouldn't work on all.

[Nazgûl]

Hehe yeah, my darn keyboard isn't always obeying me...  Well that sounds good. Someone said "infantry" units, so I was just curious if there was some limitation =)
