As far as I know there's only gmax with renx for modelling BFME and Generals...

Maybe in future EA will release some tools for 3Ds Max, or whatever it's called, but at the moment you only have gmax.

EDIT: And please stop attaching pics when it's not needed... create a sig if you want pics for your posts.

sorry about the pics

but i read the tutorials and ive got as far as moddeling but then it hasent got the coolfile w3d importer and i have downloaded it and it says to extract some file so i click on it and i comes up with this error"the archive is either in an unknown format or damaged" so i dont no how to get to come up with thats the only problem

[ched]

extract the file in the zip archive in the file mentionned in the readme.

then, follow Nick's instructions on how to give it a shortcut

[Kwen]

is the importer in the right folder?

[ched]

merged both threads and had to edit/remove a few posts

ok, take the following actions :

• http://the3rdage.net/tools.php download the W3D importer by Coolfile
  
• extract the zip file, and follow the damn instructions in the readme
  
• http://the3rdage.net/tools.php download Gmax and Renx, install both.
  
• follow the instructions in Nick's tutorial
  
• don't come back to ask stupid questions like "o wait, i are not sur if i dled teh importer "

if that doesn't get you anywhere, grab a gun, jump through the window, or more simply, give up on modding

Manual:
1.extract the script file to gMax\gamepacks\Westwood\RenX\scripts\startup.
2.launch the RenX/gMax.
3.click menu Customize -> Customize User-Interface
4.the Customize User-Interface dialog is displayed, which lets you choose from either Command shortcuts or Macro Scripts
5.in group Main UI and category W3D Importer, drag command <Coolfile W3D Importer> from the action list and drop it to the toolbar.
6.press the button to import a w3d file

[prince of mirkwood legolas]

I do all that but the cool file thing doesn't come up.

I might not give up. I'll still try but I don't guarantee sucess.

Are you sure you're booting up RenX and not just vanilla GMax?

[prince of mirkwood legolas]

yeah im opening renx not g max

[prince of mirkwood legolas]

bonjour ca va? c';est que cest?
au revoir mon amie

[Lord Of Gifts]

There are only two things you can be doing wrong:
1. As kelso said, you are not starting RenX, but rather vanilla GMax
2. You didn't follow the instructions in the readme correctly, or at all.

I'm sorry, but we cannot help you any further with this problem.
