Andyp's bridge thread

[andyp]

yeah i had tried it on a machine with XP but it still didn't start, that was a few months ago and have since put a newer OS on it...

Andy, I use my max3.1 on a VM with XP. That's the only way, it's a pain but I need it that way in order to keep playing with my SFC models. It's a shame to let this go. So beautiful.

SFC .Mod model format have gmax plugin. It works just fine.
This is a example of converting sfc model in gmax:

BC .Nif format also have gmax plugin, but I'm not sure if you can use it with bridges.

the way that it's been explained to me, max 3 has some specific export features for Bridge commander bridges that is not available on other programs.

Well I have exported from nif to mod using Gmax but whenever I mess around with hardpoints or damage points, Gmax crashes. It doesn't let me do anything other then convert the ship. That's why I use max3 to fix hardpoints and stuff.

Shame to hear still having problems with Max 3.  I've used it with XP, Vista and now Win7,  and different rigs from CoreDuo to Quad/i7 and works ok.   May be installation problems your end, as can be a little buggy and if one thing goes wrong it won't work.   PM me if still keen to try and need any advice

Thanks I may take you up on that, some day. Wayy to much going on in real life for me to revisit BC modding. Gotta find a job first...
