Good job Editor.
This should be stickied. :)

Sticky. :cool:

sticky plz. <3

Stickeh!

OMG OMG STICKY!

:D

thx for the support guys :)

id like to see it stickied too :p

Now whenever people ask me questions like these I can send em here. :)

Top stuff, but you should add a download link to ms3d 1.6.6a, the newest one isn't as good for HL hacking really :confused:

What's wrong with the new one?

Mainly the rename bones function, as Peril from the CDG forums put it- aka '**** up my hack plz'.

Also it has problems displaying textures sometimes and is generally biased towards UT2k3

Well I havent had a single problem since installing the latest 1.7 patch and the ****ed up my bones problem is because people dont turn off "rename bones". I'd call that human error the failure to press the "please dont **** up my hax" option.

Anyway, you forgot GUIStudioMDL on the list ;)

Nice list mate, i'm sure this will be a big help to all the new members MSA has seen recently.

Any 1.X > 1.2 Player Model conversion tutorial?

Thanks Jed me is stupid sometimes :)

@RealyPssd, it should be the same process, just ur copying the 1.2 to the 1.1 instead of the 1.1 to the 1.0 However i dunno if we need another compiler, try it out

EDIT:

Update with GUI Studio MDL and GFC Extractor!

Thank you Editor, this was a real help. Finally I could fix some of the costum stuff that was bugging me for some time now.

Sticky it.

Update:

Fixed the Para to standard play convert link, one too many http://'s

thanks (4THIDUSA) SSG for the heads up

would it b possible to add the sling on to a M1A1 Carbine (Para)?

i was goin 2 do it but i dunno if its a gd idea or not.

Update:

How to make your own flags (http://www.dayofdefeat.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34554)

GJ Editor!!!! :).

some of the links r down :(

updated with how to make sniper scope sprites tutorial :p

A tutorial on how to make pee wee's with a complete v.mdl would be appreciated.

you would have to defov the model first (if not already) by scalling the vertices down to a normal size. Then you would have to go through every single missing face's errr opposite end and mirror the face and then snap the vertices with the vertices where it should be together. Not sure if i'm making anysense here but... if there are no coresponding face then (like the metal plate on the back of a stock) you would have to take it from an existing model

OMG WTF???!!!! Its been my first post in a while but I come back to THIS??!!!:confused: :eek: :angry:

Folks, we should take action IMMEDIATELY. If ANY of you have any of the stuff from Editor's sites, we should make a temporary database of it all. Who here can host?

-Captain Dan

Yes, I would very much like to view this "How to convert paratroopers for standard play tutorial". Its obviously more complicated than just changing the file name. Some wanna tell me or point me in the direction to helpful information?
