Importing .bod in 3d max 8 with textures...help

bounty_hunter66 · Post by **bounty_hunter66** » Sun, 30. Nov 08, 02:18

I succesfully imported a weapon bulled .bod into 3dmax 8 but it doesnt have any textures (its grey). I extracted all data from 01.cat. Its bitmap seems to be fx_beams.txt wich is a DDS file. How do i get 3d max to import textures aswell? Does it have to do with being a .txt format and not .dds?

EDITED!

i may be wrong but i think the pbb files are the compressed ones, you might want to try extracting it again (also make sure you have the modmanger set to terran conflict not reunion)

ren *.txt *.dds in a command prompt should work

What smbh said. When you extract, Mod Manager renames all the DDS files to txt for some reason. Just use a mass-rename as suggested (I use Microsoft's Power Toy "Command Prompt Here"). Should import fine after that. To expound on that a bit: <rename><in-file><out-file>, wildcards accepted. Using the suggested command will rename all files in the folder from txt to dds.
