How to use Santos' 3ds Max scripts?

Hello,

I am in the process of exporting a character for my mod however I do now know how to use Santos' 3ds Max scripts. Anyone know how?

I ran the export script on a test object, but nothing seemed to happen. Do these scripts export the files in a specific location?

Re: Looking for a specific file

The wargear used by the scouts is in their ebps file under wargear_ext, which will lead to the wargear, which will in turn lead to a weapon. The fx file is under "fx" in the weapon file. You should be able to find the .bfx tracers under DATA\art\actions\tracers Thanks! So I traced the fil...

Re: Looking for a specific file

I use cope's toolbox. And then scroll to Data and open all the folders. Ah alright, but how can I tell what FX apply to which unit? I tried to find what FX the Space Marine scouts use for their bolters as a test by looking in their corresponding pvp folder, however I did not see anything in their f...

Re: Looking for a specific file

The tracer that they use is in Data/actions/tracers/ch/fx_bolter_ff_tracer. And regular tactical marines tracer switches to the one i listed above when kraken rounds is used. Maybe look in Data/fx/fx_tracers/chaos? It might be ch_ff_tracer.bfx in that sub folder. But it should be somewhere in there...

Re: Looking for a specific file

Sorry for double-posting, but I still can't seem to find the .bfx file I'm looking for. for clarification, check out the video below. Look at the 'Sternguard' squad's weapon tracer FX towards the top of the screen, the red bolter fire, I'm looking for that .bfx tracer file. https://youtu.be/RRlHLkqK...

Re: Anyone using a 144hz monitor?

Depends a bit on what hardware you have in your rig. For DoW you most likely won't gain much (unless you are rocking 980ti/1070/1080/titan and 7700K or something.) but as mentioned, other games should benefit you a bit more. It really surprises me that DoW is poorly optimized, then again I guess I'...

Anyone using a 144hz monitor?

Anyone here playing DoW on a 144hz monitor? I might be getting one soon and was wondering how it looks/feels.

I am pretty sure its in <root>/<my mod name>/Data/art/actions/munition_type/or_shoota_special. Because Kraken Rounds change the munition of the weapon when you look at the ability. Ah thanks! I'll take a look at that one tonight. I might have gotten my FX mixed up, does the "Eternal War" ...

Re: How to modify Art FX?

Word of warning: making new factions as in "getting new entries in the menu" is impossible due to hardcoding. Either create new characters (use my custom 8-heroes menu, you can find it in Releases) or use Bloodravage upgrade-based selection. Yep! I'm thinking I'll go in the direction of y...

Re: Crashing Issue

Yeah soundbug nearly killed this game for me. I've always had the soundbug, sometimes more frequently than others. Even when I bought a new computer. About a month ago it was really bad, I got the soundbug in almost 50% of my games. Then I realised I had been hosting games more often than before. I...

Re: Crashing Issue

It's kind of a default thing that happens and just appears as a sound bug. I've had it before twice and solved it, but other people have the same bug for a different reason. One of mine was solved by turning off Morphological Filtering in my AMD settings and the other was whenever I change to a new...

Re: How to modify Art FX?

You need to extract the .bfx files in data/art/fx with Cope's toolbox, then edit said files with this tool: http://www.moddb.com/games/dawn-of-war-2/downloads/fxeditorbeta . It's not particularly intuitive, but it's the only thing around. Hope it helps! Thanks a lot! I think I've gotten a bit of a ...

Damn really? Well that is kind of a bummer..

Has this bug only been around in Retribution? I have around 130 hours or so in DoW II and I never encountered it, only in Retribution.

Re: Cheers to Indrid & Rupee comebacks,Elite Needs support

I was utterly amazed when I saw that Indrid uploaded 407 (FOUR-HUNDRED-AND-FREAKING-SEVEN) new videos! I usually watch a match while I'm eating lunch, so this'll keep me busy aha.

On a side note, any news if Indrid will be posting any new 3v3's?


Major props everyone!
