Malkior Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 I recently read the guide for editing custom models with MDLOPS, but it made me wonder how you would open any file with it. Do you need both the MDL/MDX and the ascii ?(which can be output with MDLOPS) How then would you save it? More importantly, what features does MDLOPS have? I am interested with working to change the following fields, Diffuse Ambient Render and Shadow. I just cannot find any tutorials that explain how. Quote
Fair Strides Posted January 17, 2015 Posted January 17, 2015 Well... Modelling is a touchy subject, given how much we don't know about the format. As far as what you're referring to, I think you could try editing those values in the ascii and then re-compiling the model... For that, you'll want to do the following: 1. Extract both the MDL and MDX from KT* 2. Decompile using MDLOps. 3. Edit Ascii in Notepad. 4. Recompile Ascii in MDLOps** *: When extracting, USE THE NORMAL EXTRACT BUTTON; DO NOT DOUBLE-CLICK THE MODEL... **: If MDLOps 0.6 gives issues in-game, try MDLOps 0.5. If that doesn't work, try KAurora... Quote
Malkior Posted January 17, 2015 Author Posted January 17, 2015 Okay, cool! I got it decompiled and am looking at it. I'm on my way, now I just have to determine what these values mean. Thanks for the help. I'll let you know what I can glean from it.. Edit__ After my second attempt, I changed T3m4 to have .5 ambient values. No noticeable graphical changes, except now his model lost its animations. Further research is required.. Quote
