There is no way to make materials and new models without 3dsmax 5.1 and plugins provided by Ion Storm. If I could do something about it, I'd focus on making a standalone app for that, something like xNormal.

The other thing is player animations. I tried playing the intro mission just an hour ago, they are still awful.

well, it's been a decade since I played t3, so I don't really remember player animations. I wonder if the tutorial link you posted above can add new player animations. I'll check that later. It's unfortunate to use very old version of 3dsmax for that purpose, and I'm not able to do anything about it.

Coming back from The Dark Mod, it really shows that T3 hasn't aged well. It's a pity. I've been trying to make something decent in TDS for years, but failed in the end.

if you live in a residentials area, then this would be illeagal.

I suppose it might be allowed in certain emergencies, such as if some houses have lost power and water and they need to dig a hole to fix the problem.

Yeah I called the cops and they said not only that someone else was on the line complaining about it, but it was a genuine emergency with the gas lines, so there was nothing they could do about it.

grand.

Any damages? Hope not!

None. Some leaves and pine straw on the ground.

Congratulations!! One day off of the arrival of my youngest!

Congratulations!

Congrats! Busy busy busy...
