the tcol file needs to be called testa.tcol

OR

you have to put colMesh="whatever_its_called.tcol" in the class definition in the lua

the latest exporters have a feature where if you put tcol_ in front of your mesh in max, then this will be stripped off when exporting a tcol, making it easier to export graphics / collision mesh with the same name

@ JostVice, is it when you open the program, or when you start recording?

you could allso try reinstalling the app

i dunno if that would help

otherwise, try to run the program in a VM, from there you could make the tut (Vbox has a 3D support for FREE)

i hope it helps

@Dennis,

could you please put that much code in a spoiler, it keeps the forum nice and clean

I have a problem with installing the export scripts into 3d max 2010 and 2009. I copy't the folder scripts and ui from:
''C:\progam files\grit\exporters\3Dmax"
and paste it in:
"C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2010" (64 bit)

getting Windows message: Confirm Folder Replace. yes, yes to all, no, cancel. I prest yes to all.

Now the weard ting is, I can see the exporters in 3d max by: Customize, Customize use interfase..., in that popup by Category I can see grit tools and the 3 tools:

grit .mesh/.skeleton exporter
grit .tcol exporter
grit mapping helper

but when i press load:

how come? and how do I solve this problem?

that Load button is to load a list of scripts or something, not related with opening the script i think

just grab the icons and put them at the main toolbar, then click them

by the way don't be afraid to use big images we will have a image resizer soon

update your map.ms script, i've added experimental light export support: Omni lights and free spotlight

Right now lights have to be childs of some object, probably selecting the lights while exporting normal classes will result on error... so select only the lights when you want to export the lights

Need someone to try, i'm not sure about the range and the rotation settings. I used the light's decay for the range setting, using the inverse square, but i'm not sure.

Update again, spotlights rotation working correctly. the range could need some little fixing, but it works. now i want to see grit nights full of rainbows!

Spark has updated the 3D Max exporter so you can now export multiple objects from max as one final .mesh

To do this just link your objects to a dummy, and export the dummy.

Works well apart from a face normal issue I encountered. It would be great if more of us did test that functionnality really.

It would mean we'd find out a solution quicker.

Ok, to come back on this issue, it was fixed by Spark last week. The exporter seemed steady since.
