Does anyone know how to take the black gate and enable it to be built on the mordor side or even have it open and closable on a map?

It is possible, you would have to make new animations and a new object i think...
to make a long story short, it would take a while but yes i guess its possible!

[Ridder Geel]

ok so are there any tutorials for making new animations or making a new object?

Well im sure there are many tutorials on how to animate objects and doe those kind of things yes, on the 3rd age website there should be some tutorials on that, and GMAX itself also has tutorials on this subject.

[Ridder Geel]

After you finish making the animations I will gladly assist you with making the code for the new object.

Yes indeed i have read and used that tutorial before, its a good one, even though it is for CNCGenerals it works almost the same way for BFME!

[Ridder Geel]

well i tried to follow it as best i could but i got to the part of where i try and find the texture for the black gate and i cant seem to find it, anyone know how to find it?

Just wait a second and ill find it for you!

Here it is, I attached it to my post.
It's in a RAR file, so you will need WINRAR or something like that to extract it.
And BTW GMAX doesnt accept DDS files so you will need to convert them.

i am sorry but is there a special program i need to convert them? and btw thx for elping me out

[Lurtzy]

Use IrfanView.

[Ridder Geel]

Never heard of that one, but if lurtz101 recommends it then i guess it should be just fine!
No problem, I'm always glad to help. If you have problems then just post it in the forum or PM me to ask it personally!

(just curious) What do you use?

[Ridder Geel]

I use ImageConverter Plus, I find it being REALLY good!

[Lurtzy]

I would use that, but Irfanview is free, so...................

Well yes i guess thats what got your attention, I like quality though
(Not saying your thing might be bad)

[Lurtzy]

It's like a car, for example, does it get me from point A to point B? If this is a yes, that's enough quality for me!

[Ridder Geel]

I totally understand what you mean yes!

[centurionbc]

yea i downloaded it and installed it, i tried to load up one fo the dds files for the black gate and it said cant decode .ddl files. What am i doing wrong?

[Ridder Geel]
