Rep's Meshtool not working

Post by ={Z32}=Kfm946 »

i just downloaded the msh converter and it doesnt seem to be working ...i put it in the msh folder for one of the sides (in data_***), i ran it, typed in the full name of the msh (including .msh) then pressed enter and, immediately, it sed press q to quit. i did that but nothing happened...i think either im quiting too early or it creates the converted file in a different folder. what am i doin wrong?

Here are 3 steps to convert the .msh to a .obj. I hope this helps!

Hmmm doesn't it need a import thingy at the end? Wouldn't it be

Code: Select all

all_1st_cockpit_combatspeeder.msh import
Without the import part at the end it never works for me.

@epm01
I have never had to type "import" at the end, but maybe that will work for ={Z32}=Kfm946.

@={Z32}=Kfm946
I'm not exactly sure why it's not working for you.Try out what epm01 offered. If it still doesn't work, you should PM someone who knows more about the program. Good luck with finding your answer!

EDIT: If you could, present a screen-shot of what you are doing when you try to convert the .msh to a .obj.

Instead of putting the extractor into a folder full of files, why don't you just copy and paste the .msh into the mesh_tool folder?

I added you on X-Fire. Maybe I could help a little more if we talk on there.

With the new meshtool that bumpmaps stuff, you first need to say "import" (enter) then type in the mshfilename. This allows it to also "glow" "bump" etc. instead of just "import"
