NeoMarz1 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Hey Vader, Here use this link. It's a pretty good tutorial, I was able to get a few vehicles ingame, so it should be pretty straight forward for anyone else. Also take time to look at a vehicle pk3. Look at the animation files... Youll notice that the files will show the numbers corresponing with the animations frame number... This will give you an idea of how alot of this stuff works. I'd look at the vehicles npc file too, that way youll see how the vehicles performance is done. Just check out every file in the pk3. Most files can be opened using word pad. Dont mess with the vehicle files in the models actual folder (like the glm). you can open the animation files in the main vehicle file. http://io.meskinaw.net/vehicle_importing_tutorial_for_ja.html Vehicle importing is alot easier than character models... good luck!
