Im making a mod for Half-life2 and theres easter eggs through out the whole campaign
one of them is a small pipe you crawl into
you go around the corner and you are come out to a shack ontop a hill and theres a full scale monkeylord rampaging through out city 17

I recently bought and finished Sup-commander and im trying to find a way to get the model, texture and animations out some how
Theres a editor that i can't find and im sure it won't allow me to export them for me
any help is greatly apprieciated

I doubt you can export the Monkeylord mesh into a format suitable for use in Half-Life 2.

I can see how you would do it, but it wouldn't work, the normal map is in the wrong form (extrapolates the third set of dimensions) and probably can't be backconverted (actual loss of data). As with a lot of GPG's models for SC it is also low poly and has holes, in places where the player will never see them. Wouldn't work so well for an FPS.

But by all means if you still want to try, go search the GPGnet forums for the model importer.

I really don't do requests and my Arnor Soldier is not fit for BFME. Don't ask me for either.

You'd not only have to get it into an editor, you'd have to get it into XSI mod tool, which probably means getting it out of the game, importing into max, deep exploration into XSI and exporting into HL2 format.

The loss and fuckups from that many conversions into such a finicky format isn't worth contemplating.

I will, and I have but can't find anything.
Im quite proficiant im photoshop and 3ds max not skilled but quite reasnoble, I can convert almost any file format, dont worry about XSI stuff, and if i can't convert the animations i'll re-make them my self. I will patch the holes and fix it for HL2 in Max. besides the player will be a fair distance away from it don't want you to get fried :evgr:


:good:
On a side note in SUP-COM I wanted to join multipler or host a game, created an account and logged in then it close asking to update GPG and then it closed same thing happened over and over again.
To lazy to create another account for another forum, not necassary but im lost.
