[quote name="Hollowman104" post="1117440" timestamp="1639938069"] Hi all, i'm having issues simply getting the 3DS max 2008 plugins set up correctly, i've followed the instructions you've listed and also tried the instructions listed on santos' own posts, neither seem to fix the issue that I face, that being "DLL <c:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\3ds Max 2008\PlugIns\W40kExporter6.dle> failed to initialize. Error code: 127 - The specified procedure could not be found" when launching 3ds max, further more I am faced with two errors "-- Syntax error: at bad, expected <factor> -- In line: g_IntDataSrcPath = Modtools\D " and "-- Syntax error: at bad, expected <factor> --In Line: g_IntDataSrcPath = ModTools\D" and most importantly when I attempt to click on the DoW Properties Browser within 3ds Max, it gives me the error "-- Runtime error: Cannot create the ActiveX control: MSComctILib.ListViewCtrl.2 Reported error message: Invalid class string". I do apologize if this is an obvious error to fix, but I cannot seem to understand the cause whether it's an issue with my set up, max or whether I have uninstalled the plugins for max incorrectly, because I wanted to test re-importing a slightly edited model back into W40k DoW DC/SS to create a custom asset to be displayed in game. Many thanks for any help you can offer on the subject, i've been attempting to figure it out for days now and i've come up empty handed. If you want to reach me quickly you can send me a message on discord with the username - Hollow#5088[/quote] [quote name="Hollowman104" post="1117440" timestamp="1639938069"] Hi all, i'm having issues simply getting the 3DS max 2008 plugins set up correctly, i've followed the instructions you've listed and also tried the instructions listed on santos' own posts, neither seem to fix the issue that I face, that being "DLL <c:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\3ds Max 2008\PlugIns\W40kExporter6.dle> failed to initialize.

@ JonaQ It was credited. There used to be a prominent thread here with that tutorial but I can't find it now. I also provided a link to the original tutorial on the 'introduction to modding' thread months ago.

@ Lord Seifou Link the marker to a bone or mesh with the link tool. It look like two boxes connected with a doted line. Its in the tools bar along the top.

The original tutorial authored by a63nt (& full thread also) on Relicnews back in 2008 (stored on Wayback Machine - Internet Archive).

https://web.archive....o-set-it-all-up

There's some additional info in the thread. Might be useful for someone, maybe, etc.

@Moreartillery
That's how to credit someone properly (also, why try to pass their work off as your own anyway? :dry: ). I found the Wayback Machine link with a simple copy & paste. Given that's how you got 90% of your original post, wouldn't have been hard to do.
Those guys on Relicnews blazed a trail where modding & especially DOW modding was concerned. Credit where credit is due, anything less erodes a modding community from within, as people decide not to share\release what they know & what they have created to avoid stress & hassle.

I came to this forum looking for a place to dump tons of custom DOW models I've created over the past few years,

but now I think this might be a shady place where people just steal stuff & pretend they made it etc (by the by, that Terminator Chaplain has art assets created by someone else, I would have at least credited them, if I'd decided to release it & couldn't find a way to contact them for permission etc). Long rant, but point is, if not done right the modding community (that I presume you care about) suffers as a result. Worth doing it politely & by the book, if you want the community to last as long as possible etc.

@Moreartillery

At least credit the original author (a63nt on RelicNews Forums), he's still about, modding GTA V & Fallout 4 & still dables in DOW Modding from time to time, just so you know.

HI, How to activate the product ?

I'm not sure what you mean by that. If your talking about registering the product the answer is you don't have to. Mine says unregistered version and it works fine.
