Dragon King 15 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 ok maybe this will help. when you open the dff with RW analyzer scroll down to the last extension section. it should have bin and mesh underneath it. right click extension and hit add section. then a window will pop up with extension on top and a grey box beneath it. where it says extension, click the deltoid (triangle) and scroll down to 2dfx. and click it and hit ok. now 2dfx should be underneath extension. next right click 2dfx and click import data. and search for the 2dfx data exported by dexxx's tool, and import it. now save and close and put it in-game. the 2dfx should now work.

TranceLikeState 94 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 it should but doesnt i appreciate the tips though. i have done those things already. how bout this, when your exporting the dff from max what do you select? both items? the model only? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dragon King 15 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 model only Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TranceLikeState 94 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 ok so i have my model. i create an omni light, put it where i want it then link it. i hit add light info and go to the script window and go to setup/ edit lights. i select the size i want keeping the default type for now. i hit apply to lights, export the dff, and export the light data. i open rw analyzer, and go through the process you said previously. that about do it?

Dragon King 15 Report post Posted October 15, 2009 that should do it. I never used dexx tools but it should work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TranceLikeState 94 Report post Posted October 17, 2009 ehhh, so dexx sent me a PM back and told me to just keep increasing the size, but i made it as large as it will go and still no light. lame bra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TranceLikeState 94 Report post Posted October 19, 2009 Solved. follow the procedure, but after you export your light info, do not export your dff!!!!! open your raw dff in rw and modify it. that makes it work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TranceLikeState 94 Report post Posted November 4, 2009 ok, so now this doesnt work at all for me, and i obviously know how to do it. i replaced the rw analyzer and dexx tools and nothing. you guys think i need to reinstall max? i was trying to add lights to a vehicle last i used it. i thought something may have changed the config settings in something but its not the light tools. it must be max.

bluespace88 9 Report post Posted November 4, 2009 rw analyzer and dexx tools only applies to map objects, not vehicles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TranceLikeState 94 Report post Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) yeah i noticed, but since i tried that it wont work properly, even on map objects. Edited November 4, 2009 by trancelikestate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TranceLikeState 94 Report post Posted November 4, 2009 ok, so when i drag the light info through 2dfx editor, the light blinks real quickly every 3 seconds. :doh2: its obviously not exporting out of max right. i uninstalled and re installed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
