hi jordan did u replace the files like it was asked in the readme file?

[qwop_guy]

Still cannot export models, getting the g_IntDataSrcPath = w40k_pipeline_sourcetointermediate g_DataSrcPath error. Pipeline is correct, and the w40KExport is in the plugin folder for 3ds max 2008. I even have both versions 6 and 9. I've re-downloaded the modding tools and replaced the plugins etc but still no dice. DC is currently under my steam directory, but that shouldn't make a difference correct? I was able to use the trial version of MAX to successfully export, but not the 3Ds MAX 2008 version.

It does matter. They must be at C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Dawn of War - Dark Crusade\ModTools\DataSrc\My_Mod\art\ebps\races\*race name*\troops

 

In addition, never replace the ''My_Mod'' with your mod name.

MAX goes bonkers if you do that for some reason. Blame Relic.

[qwop_guy]

That is the exact filepath they are under. I even did a fresh install of the mod tools and the game to match that path exactly per the guide. Same result. The pipeline.ini has never been touched, it's still My_Mod.

[Moreartillery]

The last time that happed to me because I wasn't using the right version of 3ds max. Although in this case I think your using the wrong exporter plugin.

 

Try removing one of the exporter plugins and export again with just one in the plugins folder. If that doesn't work triple check that you followed the installation instructions to the letter. 

 

Don't give up, this took me several attempts to install when I was new.

For some reason deleting the 3ds Max 8 folder worked. Im able to export models, but now half of the model is transparent in OE while the legs and arms have the correct skins? Ever seen that?

either the mesh is not visible in the animation you have selected, or the model has a skin batching issue. Check the OE debug window.

Here's the output but I m not sure what the shader output here means.

[Moreartillery]

This is the winter assault guardsmen right? Open the actions tab on the left and play the default action. If it shows the whole body then theres no problem.

[qwop_guy]

The animation plays, but his head and armor are missing their skins. Everything has a skin such as the weapons, legs, arms, etc.

[qwop_guy]

It looks like it's something to do with that specific material used. I applied a different material in 3ds max to those areas and re-exported; they show up then. For some reason that specific material is not being exported.

[qwop_guy]

I got the missing elements to show up in the OE, however in-game they are still missing.

HI, How to activate the product ?

[Moreartillery]

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.

[Lord_Seifou]

I didn't use the crack sorry

[Lord_Seifou]

How to add new model or part to the model that i have imported to 3D MAX,

 

I mean for ex: Adding space marine helmet to force commander model.

[Lord_Seifou]

How to make the mrkr or helper (the green cross) folow the object when its rotate.

 

I can only make the object folow the bone but I can't make the helper folow the bone.

 

Pleas any help

[Moreartillery]

@ 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.
