Replying to Tutorial: install and set up 3ds max 2008

 

I do most of my animating in Maya because that's what I have experience with but send to 3DSmax. I have both Max 2008 and 2023 installed. Both are set up to export, though only max 2008 is set to import. 

I am not seeing the DoW Properties Browser  in either version of 3DSmax, nor am I able to export because on both versions I get this error

MAXScript Rollout Handler Exception:
"--Argument count error: Export Model wanted 5, got 3
--File name: [directory] RelicDirExport.ms
--Line number: 122"

Line number 122 reads as follows:
 

dir = getFilenamePath( f )

result = ExportModel dir forcerebuild.checked false

if( result == false ) then

(

removeRollout g_ExportProgress

print( "Error exporting model, aborted directory export!" )

return false

)

 

File is set to 
C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Dawn of War - Dark Crusade\ModTools\DataSrc\My_Mod\Art\EBPs\races\*race name*\troops


Any idea what's going wrong here? (I've also tried it with models directly exported and immediately re-imported which doesn't work either)

This is the seventh time I've tried this

 

Same guy, I meant datageneric


Also for Model Export I get an error for line 381 which says I need a class or function and that it got undefined. Line 381 is the g_IntDataSrcPath = w40k_pipeline_sourcetointermediate g_DataSrcPath

I keep getting "unknown system exception".  Does anyone have any idea to fix this?

Ahh , Alright then. ill give this one a go and see where it gets me.

Hey MoreArtillary,

I think you reposted the x32 version , this iso is 1.8GB,considering your words,i'm assuming that Disc 2 is over 3GB?

 

Thanks for the host btw!

You don't need disk 2. Run setup and theres an option to install 64-bit. Follow the installation instructions in the tutorial.

To be clear, disk 1 has both 32-bit and 64-bit.

I have an .iso file but its much bigger then the version linked in the tutorial (3GB), and as far as I know it doesn't offer any advantages for modding dawn of war.
