gmax,yagg,dbox oddity

[Guest]

i am having some odd problems with exporting models made of bod parts in x2. i am using dbox to import and export parts and yagg as a grabber but somewhere along the way something is going wrong.

this is a sample of a ship from the cut files

both are just samples but both are very different. ive checked all of the settings but they seem sound so can anyone see whats wrong, if its a common problem?

[Shadow dream]

that's a problem that I've got too. I don't know exactly what's wrong. well, basicly there is nothing wrong since all the informations ARE in the file. it just isn't structured as you postet in the first part
for my part I'll try to get the files again to be up-to-date (again).
in the end it's something with YAGG, so try to look at it's installation first

Check your DBox-Settings. The best way is to edit the dbox.ini (in gmax-directory/PlugCFG) directly.

It should contain these values:

Code: Select all

[exporter_settings]
compatibility=x2
grabber=yagg
gmaxGrabberName=
gmaxGrabberPath=D:\YAGG\YAGG.exe

i tried these things but still it doesnt work. should i just reinstall yagg and dbox then?

[Chris Gi]

Is your YAGG running in snoop mode at all?

If you prefer grab mode, you need to change the grabber to "generic".

If you don't know what I'm talking about: RTFM
(Grab mode is when you have the small YAGG window with the "GRAB"-Button. In snoop mode, YAGG is running in the Taskbar).

If this doesn't help, I don't know. Both setups work perfectly for me (on XP SP3).

i am feeling really stupid right now. i never realised that it had to be in snoop mode. i am really sorry, i must really annoy you. if its any consolation , that means i can now make a mock version of my finished M0 mod.
