Hey, I've noticed a lot of sites with good free models, and was wondering what stands in the way of using some of these free to use ones? Especially .gsm and .3ds models.

Hey, Every time I've try to use the Full Editor when PM'ing someone, and every single time I get an error. Whoever is in charge of the forum, is it possible that this could be fixed? Thanks Neon

Hey there, I've been making a map for a few months now, and am finishing up with polish before I can pass it off for critique. One thing I want to fix is making it so that an instance of the model the_hammer_small1.lwo can highlight when frobbed, as the goal of my map is to steal this particular item. I understand that this particular model wasn't intended as a loot item (as I had to make it an atdm:loot_broach entity), but I figured getting a highlight wouldn't be too much work. Several hours later, I'm ready to pull my hair out. I've managed to make a .mtr file: sk/the_hammer_small_highlight { metal diffusemap models/darkmod/props/textures/thehammer_small_bronze_d_ed { if ( parm11 > 0 ) blend add map models/darkmod/props/textures/thehammer_small_bronze_d_ed rgb 0.15 * parm11 } } As well as a .skin file, which is showing up in DarkRadiant: skin small_hammer_highlight { model models/darkmod/decorative/statues/the_hammer_small1.lwo sk/the_hammer_small_highlight models/darkmod/props/textures/thehammer_small_bronze_d_ed } However, the texture used in editor and the game isn't the bronze texture that I've specified, which makes me believe there's an issue with the .mtr file, either in its being read, or its syntax. Would someone be able to explain to me how to get this working? Much appreciated!

I need a simple sphere: - radius 8 - textured with "models/darkmod/metal/flat/gold01_ns" - a single joint named "Light" at the origin - no shadow mesh - a low polygon count between 70-100 is fine This is for an experiment, so I might request minor changes until I know what I'm doing. Thankx.

I'm not sure what sort of reaction I will get to this but I would love to put out a request for some new food models to be added into the core game or if not as a custom asset that could be added in by myself or other mappers who need it. Here is a list of some new food items that I think would compliment the already existing ones in game BaguetteMeat/salami rollWatermelonBananasCucumberDeer leg (similar to Thief 2)Mutton and other meats on bones, sort of like a chicken leg but not as defined as a modern day deep fried chicken leg of courseCheese (more than the existing couple)LeeksPiesThat's all that I can come up with, if anyone else has any other ideas post them here and i'll add them to the list. If any modelers have the time/desire to fulfill part or even the whole list that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'd like to scale up and make some other changes to TDM's crystal1-4.ase models because the rotation hack makes them pop out of existence when seen at the border of the screen, which looks very bad - Yet my Blender .ase importer simply does nothing for these crystals, while most other .ase's are fine. I'm using the JediAcademy importer for Blender 2.76b, with my Blender being that version. Then I tried open3mod which can import the crystals but gets unhandled exceptions on exporting to any other format. Also tried Wings3D but it doesn't even seem to support .ase? There's no .ase import option by default, and wings3d forums seem to imply there's no support (i.e. Post #3). Could someone please share a working alternative .ase importer setup for me to try out, or send a zip with these 4 crystals in .obj, .blend, .lwo or another common format? It'd be appreciated

Dont know if this has been asked before, but if there any way to target a model, in this case a window to and target it from a light. So when I extinguish the light the skin on the window model changed from unlit to moonlit or self-lit etc.

Hi all, me again Now that I've learned how to take screenies on DM (thanks to Aluminumhaste) I wanted to post one that I took but I got an error saying that the image ext that I used was not allowed in these forums, It was .jpg so I changed it to .png and I got the same error again. They're on Photobucket.
