Use the w3d importer. Some modeling program proprietary functions won't carry over, such as quads/ngons, grouping, colors, layers, modifier stacking, etc. I've heard talk that animations aren't perfect either, so you'll want to babysit that. I haven't done any research on bones and hierarchy, so no guarantees there. The meshes might be cut up as well, so weld vertices and fix any broken smoothing. Most other things are held intact, however.

Oh alright then.

The server ip should be located in a file on your computer either called server.xml or servers.xml. Run a search for that file and you should find the ip inside.

I think that's the point.
It's already ingame and you know it.How about Cyborg Commando vs. Technicians?

What game are you trying to get it working for?
Make sure you are using the appropriate SDK/LevelEdit for the appropriate game. If you're trying to get it working for APB, note that the SDK hasn't been released yet. Meanwhile you can copy the dll files from the base game folder to your LevelEdit folder and see if it works (provided you're using the appropriate LE for its matching game).

Do you have the pertinent scripts files in your LevelEdit directory? The linking never worked for me so I always kept a copy with my LE exe.

These are doors targetable as part of the building, not destructible doors.
I still don't know about it. Door tiles have no HP and are not destroyable.
It was actually possible all-along. Simply put, nobody knew about it.The map and naval yard are currently undergoing a few changes, one of them being that the doors and gates are damageable - I had no idea this was made possible by the programming team in my absence.
So what kind of preset opens like doors but can be destroyed?

It's well-known that Coolrock's general methods are mocking.Quite sure that

convey a mocking tone, whereas if you just want a generalized reply without quoting a huge wall of text you use "@username".0 -
I use Polyboost, which does include a one-click quadrify function. It's included in my tools pack. Let me know if you want it.Looks interesting. Are you planning to quadrify the buildings?
My 3DS has always generated mesh like this, and 3DS 8 doesn't have a one-click solution for it (unless I am overlooking it).
It doesn't matter much since it actually helps me see where vertex light solve would go in W3D, and correct it as I go.
Edit: The mesh in the previous images isn't done being optimized so keep that in mind.
I do know there's another function built-in to 3ds max 8 which lets you see the triangle edgeflow and flip the unseen edges, for everything that's quadrified or n-gon'd. In Polygon subobject mode, hit "edit triangulation" under the "edit polygons" rollout and you should be able to see them as dotted lines. Clicking from desired vertex to desired vertex will adjust your triangulation accordingly.
The reason I like to use quads is because it is a much cleaner look, and more importantly, I can use edgeloops properly and select faces without having to click twice every time I select one.

Glad it works now!

Am I the only one who likes it that the Rocket Soldier and RPG Trooper are still available after the barracks is destroyed?

Have you tried a complete uninstall before hitting "install" again?

2b) Lots of ways of dealing with mines. You can get up close to them and see them before they blow, then back off and shoot them. Could use an engineer to detect them. Could use an artillery to clear them en masse. Generally they're concentrated around entrances to buildings and other infantry path chokepoints, so primarily be wary of these areas.

The graphics are better than they were a decade ago, the netcode is comparable, and the playerbase is comparable, so I wouldn't consider any of these things to be "nails in the coffin." Where oldbies left, newbies stepped in, and as long as there is a community to have fun playing these games, and as long as Windows keeps supporting them (and last I checked, Windows 10 does), they'll be fine. People play new games, sure, but in this community many of them keep playing these games regularly. See: APB Delta.Im honestly suprised its lasted this long, the netcode, graphics, and dwindling playerbase are all nails in the coffin. You'll have to bury W3d sooner or later.

You can take advantage of the base radar markers now.Is that the one that was on the 0.9935 server a few years ago and was so large that you just get completely lost?
Perhaps, although people getting lost on this map was likely due to the lack of background landmarks, and dense fog. A background landmark has been added that ties into the map plot, and fog will be a little bit less dense.
Artilleries still annihilate anything that tries to cross the bridge, so making it indestructible won't really solve that...Can't you just fix that by making the bridge indestructible?

Yes, there's an accuracy penalty for running and hopping, and this goes for most, if not all, infantry.New testing has found something out- when crouching and standing still, accuracy w snipers is perfect- wow Im being an idiot today!

This is an inherent problem with sticking with w3d. As newer operating systems are released, who's going to keep up support for the development tools? Is anyone coding a plugin for a newer version of 3ds max? Everyone has given up, from what I understand.
0 -
Yeah try using software instead of opengl and see if that makes a difference...
If you're interested in making assets, you could use a newer version of 3ds.

I'm in California and am able to play on the EU server just fine. I.e. it isn't all about the location of the server. It's about your internet too.

In addition to the B and M screens and what they do, holding "N" shows all players, afaik.

As it should. I'll see if I can remember to post direct connect instructions or a zipped shortcut when I have desktop access.The file on dropbox contains not the install data but the already installed game.

Here's an alternate download link.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yf0c9guh4ca42iw/apb-release.7z?dl=1
Server IP to direct connect to is 178.162.193.144:9016
I'm on my phone so I can't easily find direct connect instructions, maybe someone else can help with that?

How to convert Gmax to Max 8?

Use the w3d importer to import w3d files that you exported from gmax.....
