Some import problems

[torus]

Well, it seems that my copy of GTKRadiant does not see .ase files, which is necessary because my blender md2 & md3 scripts are broken. I think Im doing the right thing, but just in case, here are the screens -->









Maybe this is the problem?

Code: Select all

Loaded Texture: "C:/Program Files/GtkRadiant 1.5.0/bitmaps/notex.bmp"
OpenGL window configuration: colour-buffer = 32bpp, depth-buffer = 32bpp
Unable to find default tag file C:/Program Files/GtkRadiant 1.5.0/nexuiz.game/shadertags.xml. No tag support.
OpenGL window configuration: colour-buffer = 32bpp, depth-buffer = none

Hmmm... come to think of it, the biggest problem is just that im a noob

Fishy. Can some other radiant 1.5 user verify the lack of .ase support in the import dialog?

Regardless, Torus try entering *.ase in the dialog and then select the file. I will let ya select it.. the interesting bit will be if it shows up in the editor or not,

Someone forgot to add ase in nexuiz.game (inside path/to/GtkRadiant 1.5.0/games). You can simply add ase yourself.
Open up nexuiz.game in a texteditor and add ase in modeltypes (should be on line 20) e.g modeltypes="md3 mdl md2 ase"

That seems to work for me.

Sorry for my confusing English... it's late.

It seems that after doing what morfar said (thanks btw), Radiant does see my .ase, however it refuses to import it- gives me this error:

Code: Select all

WARNING: could not extract the relative path, using full path instead
Model load failed: "C:/Documents and Settings/User/Desktop/maptry.ASE"
entityCreate -class misc_model

The weird thing is that .ase doesent seem to work in any app other than blender. For example, when I exported an .ase from blender into 3ds max, it did not work. However, when I saved then opened my map exported as a wavefront .obj, 3ds opened it without a hitch- BUT 3ds max could NOT OPEN an .ase that 3ds itself exported!

Ive come to the conclusion that my computer doesnt want me to use it for anything fun. *shakes fist*

nah, it just wants you to have a social life

My guess is that Blender's ASE exporter suck. ASE must be fucked in some way. Use proper modeling tools. :]

[torus]

Thats what I thought, until I exported .ase from 3ds max (the programs' own fucking proprietary format) and it didnt work.) What would you suggest as proper modelling tools? I have 3ds max, its just more difficult to use than blender. If you mean maya, well, maya isnt much better. I used a friend's maya, and it turns out pretty much all support/exsistance of exporters of quake 3 formats (md2/md3/ase) ended at version 6. harumph.

[morfar]

Last time I imported a ASE model in Radiant I used 3dsmax 8 or something... It was a simple cube ASE is a 3dsmax invention, so it should be okay to use that
Maybe your model is too complex?

After searching some (alot), I found this interesting tidbit:

Only solution, which is a pain is to goto entities and manually adjust =
key pair to relative.

My output is almost identical. So- Im gonna try a few different builds of radiant, maybe a different one works. If not, its no big deal. Ill just stick to conventional shit, instead of my whacky ideas. Thanks for all the help
