Hi,
Well i search tutorials, samples and all material possible to understand how export objects to MOH:AA engine, but none have sucess, because the samples dont is direct to MOH:AA
Exist a more detailed site to view ?
Scorpio Midget make a plugin to milkshape, but i dont know if it work correctly (any comment in forums topics dont will positive about the plugin).
By other side, i see MODs like MODERN WAR FARE and WORLD TRADE CENTER having hellicopters, trains, and many others models/objects imported from another plataforms.

Milkshape import/export 3ds and skd (mohaa file)
Lighray import/export skd , you ll need to buy the license for sure!the function export ins locked by the author.
You can build your model in 3dstudio max if you are a good modeler , the import in milkshape for exporting in .skd

If you're using 3dsmax, you can use the max2skl tool from the UberTools/FakkTools and then skl_2_skx from the Spearhead SDK.

There is also a max skl export plug-in in the SH SDK

Milkshape + Scorpio's plugin works for static models only. This means you cannot have any animated models.
@jv_map: these plugins are for 3dsmax 3 and 4. They don't work in my 6, so I need the max2skl from ubertools.

Again return to subject !!!!
Well, i get any a 3DS file, in this sample i get the file:
http://www.3dcafe.com/models/bull.zip
Ok, i copy the export of Scorpio to MilkShape, in my first exportation i verify the problem of code created, he use fixed paths, in my case "program files" folder is "Arquivos de Programa". This problem i resolve creating a program files\MilkShape 3D 1.6.4 folder and put the idle.skc file into the folder to plugin/export work fine.
In 3rd try i have sucess in exportation process, but i think the problem of process exportation is the material used. It (plugin) show a warning about materials used, but continue the process...
The bull object (3ds file) in MilkShape is opend and "interpreted" correctly, but i dont have a idea about the error.
Please help !!!

Exporting use MOH SKB format...
Code: Select all
Current models statics:
Meshes = 1
Materials = 1
Bones = 0
Code: Select all
Preparing model for SKB export
Model name [bull]
Path to mohaa main (c:\Arquivos de Programas\EA Games\MOHAA)
Code: Select all
Sorry but texture must be TGA or JPG
Failure texture:
[]
Code: Select all
Got Material 1
Shader
surface WHITE PLSTC shader bull_
Code: Select all
To use the model in Mohaa, open up MohRadiant
Right click on the 2d view
Choose
Milkshape -> bull

How i think...
But i dont understand how i resolve this problem.
For example, i get a "concrete.tga" file and put into milkshape materials, but i dont know how change the MATERIAL_PLASTIC of milkshape to my texture.
When i export the MOhRadiant make a box only, dont have a model...
I think i need a tutorial of skining to milkshape, somebody with more experience tell a website to find more details please...

What does the .tik file look like (open with text editor)? ... what error message do you get from radiant at the bottom of the screen?
