Okay, so the level editor and modding tools for Alekhine's Gun are finally out. The tools include plugins that are only compatible with 3DSMax 2009. I've been digging around, and I can't seem to be able to find a way to download it - I can't seem to find it on Autodesk's website. And I don't want to have to set up an account at Autodesk without good reason. So, can anybody here help me out? I'm desperate to edit those SMF models...

You can download it from https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/downloads/caas/downloads/content/autodesk-3ds-max-2009-service-pack-1.html but you would then need to register it I believe

According to this you may have trouble with the latest operating systems https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/System-requirements-for-Autodesk-3ds-Max-2009.html

While digging around a bit, I found this old thread from the Blenderartists forum:

 

http://blenderartists.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-206654.html

 

In particular, one post mentions:

 

Autodesk and Adobe DO NOT offer any old versions. Retailers are required to stop selling an old version once the new is out - so you´ll not find any legit boxes in a legit shop of any old versions.

I'm no expert, but I'd say that your best bet would be to pursue updated plugins if at all possible, rather than looking for the older software.

Okay, thanks for your replies. I've sorted out the problem.

 

UPDATE: It turns out I can only use the plugins to export 3dsMax models to the game, not view them on 3dsMax. But I'll keep it, I might try my hand at making new Shad models at some stage.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
