Well over @ PMoH Chris Shelton was saying that the SDk was due to be released sometime today...Ahead of time, it seems, 3D Gamers, have it up for download. Check it out.

Also give us your reaction to the SDK. Was it worth the wait or another EA c**kup....

PS - REMEMBER TO BACK UP ANY MAPS/OTHER PIECES OF WORK BEFORE YOU INSTALL THIS...THIS IS FOR SPEARHEAD ONLY.....

Some more info about the SDK contents (Thanks to Kdja from TMT for the heads-up)

1. 3d max plugins (max3 and 4) and tutorial (fairly comprehensive) on how to export.
2. New Mohradiant ,spearhead models now visible.
3. Some excellent tutorials on Manual VIS (this is really good )
4. Some really good AI tutorials someone spent time writing these (can see JV map liking these).
5. Some vehicle tutorials mainly for SP but im sure they can be edited to MP (scorpio ??)
6. Full game classes tutorials and docs again fairly comprehensive.
7. A nice particle system guide (eidolon will like this)
8. Tools Q3map ,Mohlight ,Mohutil.
9. Handy index page to read through.

same thing happened to me

A lot of info is not new but was sent with the previous radiant or accessible from 'cl_dump' console commands.

Also, the FAQ is bulked with erroneous information:

A:You're better off sticking with terrain. Patches where AI or the player will actually walk need to have invisible brush collision created for them because curves don't approximate good collision.

This is just silly. They're stating LOD terrain has good collision detection.

Setting an AI to #playerseek 0 in script will cause him not to seek out the player (he?ll act like a guard).

Nonsense .

You can change a guy to ai_actor in the entity window if you would like to change the color of his box in the editor. This is useful for distinguishing between spawned vs. placed AI, for example. Or you could make the main level boss one color and his helpers the default, etc.

Well you could also just set _color or change the color in your TIKI file.

println is the script command for printing debug messages on the screen.

Prints to server console only.

tmstart is used to play one shot sounds

Entering in g_scriptcheck 2 at the console will crash out the game if there are script errors

Woohoo!

Well that's about enough I suppose.

Innkeeper - this is the only exporting tut I could find - dunno if its what your looking for :SDK\tutorials\Exporting Animated Models.html

[Innkeeper]

Thanks Surg, I see that now. I didn't last night late.

Looks like DlgEdit is the only true piece of a SDK and so far all I have found is how to use it and not where it is.

Mohutil.exe appears to be a silly program for launching the game with some developer parameters set.

It looks like this was thrown together without any coordination. The FAQ is filled with unprofessional comments. What an embarrassment to EA.

1. Its within the 3dmax3/4 folder place it into 3dmax plaugin folder and export to mohaa skb becomes an option.

Hmmm... I don't see any new icons. Can you post a picture of what you mean?

[mohaa_rox]

"A:You're better off sticking with terrain. Patches where AI or the player will actually walk need to have invisible brush collision created for them because curves don't approximate good collision.


This is just silly. They're stating LOD terrain has good collision detection."

i think they were merely stating the LOD is a better choice than a patch for ground, because you really cant even use patches alone-they require custum clipping. "youre better off" . . .

(hey can we change they "laughing" smiley? its just . . . bizarre. it gives me nightmares. oh, wait thats this guy . those three. and maybe top it off with <- guy on toilet. maybe not the right place to put this but its getting late i wanna go to bed =l )
