Hi,

I'm trying to understand how subobjects work for the BFME games--namely ROTWK and its mods. I'm very new to modding, so I'm only trying to do something as simple as view various upgraded models of structures in W3D Viewer. Is it possible at all? Or is this something that has to be done only in a 3d software program like Blender?

If it helps, I do know how to view regular unit and structure models in W3D Viewer via searching for all the various relevant .w3d and texture files for each unit and structure model. But try as I may, I can't figure out how to even find subobjects in the art files of the games. I see them in W3D Viewer for each model but I can't find them in the files.

I'm also confused as to whether the subobjects are just hidden textures or are hidden w3d files.

To clarify, I'm not necessarily interested in how to show upgraded structure models in-game. I only want to see them in W3D Viewer.

Thanks!

I use Renx , Gmax

it shows Sub objects and their names 

just have the SKL and SKN file ready/saved  in the same folder you are searching 

Its useful if you just need the name to show or hide a particular object 

the program also binds , does animation etc , but this is very advanced ( for me )

Hi ROTWK fans and masters,

First of all, sorry for my bad English. I need a little help. Thank you very much for your support.

I made a battle tower with an upgrade button. Vision range, health etc changes after upgrades. Everything works fine no problem.

Well, is there a way to change the value of "ContainMax" in class "HordeGarrisonContain" via upgrade. For example, only 1 units can enter to battle tower at the beginning. After the upgrade, 2 units can enter at the level2.

So like this;

// Before upgrade *****
Behavior = HordeGarrisonContain ModuleTag_HordeGarrison

ContainMax = 1 ;As default

End

// After upgrade *****
Behavior = HordeGarrisonContain ModuleTag_HordeGarrison_LEVEL2

ContainMax = 2 ;Modified

End

Is it possible to do this? Thank you for your help.
