Re: A Few Modding related questions

Hey got a quick question.

I'm making my custom weapon (not using my own mesh or textures yet) and I am currently trying to change the effect emitted by the augments with limited success. I have currently found one that I like but the problem is that it:
a) Isn't aligned properly (I think that could be fixed be fiddling with the augment helpers)
b) The effect doesn't follow my blade when I move and just sits there until I draw, slash or sheathe my weapon at which point it resets/reappears but it still doesn't follow me.

This is my problem

If you know how I can put the picture in spoilers please tell me

Thankyou

edit:nvm I figured out how to make it 'stick' to the sword. It still comes out at a weird angle but I should be able to fix that. Just had to place the effect in the first and second (int)'s

coolies thanks

Angle of the effect:
Is determined by the rotation of the HDMY_AUG_01 helper. It should be 90,90,0.
You've already figured out the other part, bravo.

I had figured that part out somewhat but I thought maybe you would know of a quicker way than I did. Pity your way didnt work for me (probably a mistake by me) ended up just loading it into max and adjusting it manually. Took a bit of trial and error but I got it in the end .

One small problem that I seem to be experiencing now is that the flourish effect is coming out at 90 degrees. I don't really mind for this weapon seeing as I was going to turn it off anyway but... *shrugs* whatev.

Do you know of any trail effects (the ones that go in (int)'s three and four) that I could use for when slashing? (the ones I have tried have caused the came to crash when I swing my sword... or maybe its the way I set them up)

Thanks again mate

edit: not a modding question but... is there a way to enter a first person look around view (can't remember if there is and I've tried just about every button....)?

Anything labeled with the words "augment" and "whoosh". The other ones don't seem to work so well.

mmm I tried the some labeled with "augment" and "whoosh" but they ended up coming out at a 90 degree angle to the sword like the flourish effect was. Doesn't matter though decided I wouldn't have any effect on its slashes as it looks good without it . Thanks anyway that info will be helpfull to me in the future.

Does anybody know why when I try to import a longsword's mesh into max it crashes yet any other mesh that I have tried works?

I reckon that I've got melee weapon creation under wraps now, gotta figure out how to spawn a trader that I can have sell items I've made to me (don't want to get stuff weapons for nothing, gotta work for em ), and after that I'll work on learning how to spawn a bodyguard I can hire.

anyhow sleepy time now
