[neuser jean-philippe]

hello everybody

i have some problems to make my landscape , specialy to export patch zone

 

 

MY CONFIGURATION

Windows XP  Proc AMD XP 1600+  and 256 Mo RAM and ATI Radeon 7200

Visual Studio 6 + SP5

3DSMAX release 3 + character studio 2.2   in c:\3DSMAX

 

 

Ok i have compiled snowball demo , plugins max , ligo and tile edit.

Snowball demo and tile_edit works.

 

 

Some files have been installed in c:\3DSMAX_1\plugins by visual studio project

files are :

nelconvertpatch.dlm

nelexport.dlu

nelligo.dlx

nelpaintdlm

neltileutility.dlu

i have transfered them into c:\3DSMAX\plugins

 

 

 

i have copied some scripts too

 

nel_ligo_export.ms and nel_ligoscape.ms into c:\3DSMAX\scripts\utilities

and

nel_flare.ms , nel_light.ms, nel_material.ms , nel_material.ms.v1,nel_material.ms.v2,

nel_material.ms.v3, nel_material.ms.v5, nel_multi_set.ms, nel_ps.ms, nel_swt.ms, nel_wave_maker.ms

into c:\3DSMAX\scripts\startup

and

nel_ligoscape.mcr into c:\3DSMAX\scripts\macroScripts

 

 

 

i have copied nel_drv_opengl.dll object_viewer.DLL and object_viewer.cfg into c:\3DSMAX\plugins and c:\3DSMAX

 

 

ok now i run 3DSMAX

i make a quad patch

i enter 160 in lenght and 160 in width

 

now i go into modify menu , i select More button and i can i see a nel convert tool in list and i select it.

 

 

ok now you say i have to lauch nel tile utility plugin but i m not able able to find anywhere

i only have a tile_edit.exe , so i launch it.

i make a a land , add one tile and add 1 texture ( 128 * 128 in 24 bit and TGA uncompressed format )

i save all in c:\temp , set absolute patch and copie image1 in c:\temp

 

 

ok now i select More button again, i can see a nel painter tool in list and i select it

i have a new option in Geometry menu. So i select perspective view  and i select paint.

i see my quad patch in a new windows , with the user_guit.txt , i able to color a little but not to color with my texture ( normal )

 

Ok i do the link between tile_edit and nel_painter ?

 

 

now i exit the painter

and i run nel_ligoscape script , i understand nothing !! when i select export , nothing export .

There is an other script call nel_ligo_export but if i run it 3DSMAX crach at each time.
