Hi - I am using 3dsmax2008 and have installed the Mod tools etc. Everything seems to be working except for the "dow properties browser" which throws an error: "Runtime error: Cannot create the ActiveX control: MSComctlLib.ImageList".

This looks like some MS dependency that i am missing but cannot be sure. Its worth noting that i am running my entire dev environment in a Windows 7 VM which may be the issue.

Any thoughts?

Sorry for the late response. Thats an issue others have reported with windows 10. I'm surprised using windows 7 in a vm doesn't solve it. I've been using windows 7 without a vm and it works. Really makes me wish we had blender scripts so we wouldn't need 3ds max anymore

OK - I did manage to resolve this with the help of an old relic link that i can no longer find! Basically the missing ActiveX control is in the file called "mscomctl.ocx".

Basically the solution is to:

1. download the file "mscomctl.ocx" but be careful as its the internet and you may not get what you expect - the version i downloaded and works was from this link "https://www.urtech.c...4-bit-windows/"

2. copy the "mscomctl.ocx" file into the path "c:\windows\syswow64" for 64-bit OS ("c:\windows\system32" for 32-bit)

3. open a "cmd" prompt as the local administrator

4. in the cmd prompt register the "mscomctl.ocx" ActiveX file by typing "regsvr32 c:\windows\syswow64\mscomctl.ocx"

now run your 3dsmax and select the "dow properties browser" which should result in a new popup control with various options i am yet to fathom - maybe it will help me solve the issues with model exports, bones and weight normalisation which is damned tedious.

If i want to export the model from 3D max, at the end I get a new window that says "unable to export/merge: "the location of my dow dc"\ModTools\DataGeneric\My_Mod\art\ebps...."

Do you think this is the problem?

I can't see the full address you copied but 3ds max has to export to C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Dawn of War - Dark Crusade\ModTools\DataGeneric\My_Mod\art\ebps\races\race_name\troops

If that location doesn't exist it will fail.

I dont know but i dont think its replace the original files be cause if i open Dow DC and upgrade my marines with the melta gun, the model will be T pose and with all weapons.

I will recreate my mod and i will try to fix the problem, if i face another i will tell you

Thanks for your quick reply

Another problem, why OE does not make whm file for my model its make only whe

Space_marine_meltagun is my project

If i go to My_Mod\Data\Art\Ebps\Races\Space_marines\Troops i will find only "space_marine_meltagun.whe" and "space_marine_meltagun.whe_burn.log"

What do i do to make space_marine_meltagun.whm

and thanks again

Isn't it up one level? My_Mod\Data\Art\Ebps\Races\Space_marines

In my experience OE always makes a whm when I open the model or click save.

Don't make a separate space_marine_meltagun.whm The melta gun is one of several animations in the space_marine_tactical.whm . The new whe and whm you made will replace the original files.
