Hi, I just finished my work (for now) on a script for 3dsMax that is capable of exporting a 3D model into a Commandos 2 ABI file.

So far I only converted the first free model of a vehicle that I found on the Internet (credits to StepanProkop).

 

 

Screenshot of the model in 3dsMax:

Great,
send me

Cool, maybe you can add some custom rusian or japanese tanks??

[The Mercenary]

Ahh yes, this was the script that you told me.

Finally a new model to C2, nice

[herbert3000]

Tanks are a bit more complicated than cars because all the wheels, the turret, the cannon and the entry hatch must be seperate objects and each object has to be connected to a bone. In addition there's a parent-child relationship between the bones which also needs to be converted to the ABI file structure.

I already repacked an existing model from the game but because of the wrong bone hierarchy, sometimes this happened:

As soon as I get that fixed, I'll release the script and some instructions.

Ok, now the bone hierarchy seems to be correct.

Here's a first version of the 3ds Max script:

Thanks

the matID will be wrong

[Salvadorc17]

With this you can also convert or create new weapons animations??

[herbert3000]

The matID of the wheels in H2.max is set to the wrong value (2 instead of 1).

The script works correctly if the matID of a face matches the ID of the sub-material.

 

Edit: Here's the correct H2.max:

Great work.Can you convert c3 motorcycle to c2？

[JONUCI]

Herbert is a great man!I am very take notice of you release of information.

[herbert3000]

Great work.Can you convert c3 motorcycle to c2？

Since there are no motorcycles in C2 there are also no proper character animations. Furthermore there are keywords in the C3 scripts which the C2.EXE can't handle (e.g. ComporSidecar & .TIPO SIDECAR).

 

But we can export the motorcycle as a fake car with four wheels. Of course the machine gun won't work and the seat positions as well as the bounding box still need to be adjusted. Here's the first result of the conversion:  SIDECAR_C2.zip   114.54KB   261 downloads

Here it is: VEHICULOQUITAMINAS_C2.zip

Ops, not this. Anyway good work, I will include it in the mission c3 storm the beach. I meant the other boat, the classic boat for ambush in the d-day

[herbert3000]

Oh, I totally forgot about that model. Haven't played this mission for a while

I converted the model as a motor boat so it even moves back and forth on the water.

 

You'll probably have to adjust the MIS script and create an ANI file for it.
