mapping from pre-fabs

[dirtybob]

hey all newby here. i have some thoughts and im wondering if i am correct.

with the milkshape exporter you can create static models useable in raidiant. static means not moveing right? like a on a windmill the the tower and base would be static where the blades turning would be...dynamic? animaited?

anyway, say you make building in milkshape expoter it to a file raidiant cant read, fire it up and inport it as a pre-fab, is that correct?

some things we, or i, would need to know would be the hight of a player model in MOHAA so we can make the buildings the correct siz, also the size of a map in MOHAA so we dont kame one too huge of too small.

could an intire map be made this way? 90% prefabs? i think could could do just baout everything this way. things like trees you could add from raidiant. then you could polish the map and compile it with the MOHTools.

for those of us who can get around milkshape or gmax esyer than riadiant would be abel to make maps. am i even close here? or is this a pipe dream?

thanks

have a look at the static list in the game for things that should remain static...

these aren't always static though, what it should be called is non-interactive

ok ive got both milkshape and gmax. it seems in milkshape i cant zoom out far anough to see a large enough veiw to model it, somehting large like abuilding. but i can in gmax.

how do i save, or export soemthing in gmax in order to see, open, or import it in milkshape?

if i can figure that out, i can make a whole building then import it as a prefab in radiant, and texture it there. for me it seems way easyer than to try and do it all from radiant.

any ideas?
thanks
