oldflash Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 About Paint.NET. I have installed and canot load tga files with this one. I take this opportunity tu point your attention to one good photo editor: Ulead Photo Impact. Better price than Photoshop and 30 days free trial (full functional). Thanks
ChAiNz.2da Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 About Paint.NET. I have installed and canot load tga files with this one. I take this opportunity tu point your attention to one good photo editor: Ulead Photo Impact. Better price than Photoshop and 30 days free trial (full functional). Thanks Which version are you using? Version 2.2 and higher should now support .tga format. Earlier versions didn't though... Current Version 2.5 Alpha 3 here: http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/index.htm
oldflash Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 PaintDotNet_2_1b_Full.exe (26mb) dl yesterday.
TheOssusKeeper Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 PaintDotNet_2_1b_Full.exe (26mb) dl yesterday. you've got the 2.1 version, try the latest...
ChAiNz.2da Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 PaintDotNet_2_1b_Full.exe (26mb) dl yesterday. yeah, that's the latest of the "Stable" releases which doesn't support .tga format. You'll need to download one of the "Pre-release Alpha/Beta" versions in order to get the .tga file format support... Check the link above for a newer "non-stable" pre-release version. As horrid as that sounds... the pre-release versions should still be "stable"
oldflash Posted September 21, 2005 Posted September 21, 2005 I will dl. My bad. I wasn't look on "news" @ChAiNz.2da You sould put hak-pad in tool section. It's verry good for mod testing.
Simbacca Posted October 26, 2005 Posted October 26, 2005 the gmax link does not lead to a downloadable free gmax anymore. i guess this is what i get for procrastonating on getting into skinning and modelling.
Darth333 Posted October 26, 2005 Author Posted October 26, 2005 uh oh...bad news: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/index?id=5562445&siteID=123112 Edit: But you can still download it here: http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax (thanks to svösh for the link)
Simbacca Posted November 1, 2005 Posted November 1, 2005 thanks Darth333 for updating the link, and thanks svosh too. however... after installation, whenever i run gmax it asks me to obtain my "free Registered User Identification Code by visting: http://www.discreet.com/products/gmax/register/ ". without that Code, i can not run gmax, and whenever i click on that link i get a "Page Can Not Be Displayed" error. help! what do i do? [edit] now all of a sudden the link works for me too, must of been temporary[/edit]

Link works just fine for me.
JonDeere Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 My NWmax thing doesn't work. I finally figured out how to get it in, and the panel that is apparently supposed to be there is not.
oldflash Posted January 10, 2006 Posted January 10, 2006 My NWmax thing doesn't work. I finally figured out how to get it in, and the panel that is apparently supposed to be there is not. What version of NWMax do you use and what editor (gmax or 3dsmax and what version)
JonDeere Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 I'm using 3ds max v7 and I downloaded the latest version of NWmax (version 8). Before that I tried version 7. And just out of curiosity I put it into gmax, and it didn't work there either.
oldflash Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 Here are all nwmax plugins which are good for import/export kotor/tsl ascii models. When you install plugin you will be prompted to confirm gmax or 3dsmax location. If installer doesn't get right location of program means it will not work. But all this in only one condition: gmax or 3ds max to be installed in other place than c:\ However, this plugin should work just fine for gmax v1.2
JonDeere Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 The first link you gave is the exact site where I got the one that I have. Should I download a different one as well? If so, which one?
oldflash Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 I don't know what willbe good for 3ds7 but you could try NWmax-3ds6-v0_7setup.exe
Darkkender Posted February 9, 2006 Posted February 9, 2006 I noticed a that my NSSEditor and LoneFerrets KscriptEditor are not in the scripting resource tools. Also Anicam by JDNoa is missing above. Fixed! Thanks for the heads up man! ~ ChAiNz.2da
Immortality Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Ill Really appreciate if you could add KISS (which in fact as far as i know is the only tool that can make mods compatible, unless fred update KT, ive been away for a long time :/ ) in the general mod editing section. Kiss can be found here: http://www.gameapps.com Also, it was created by The0 (so you can add it in the "tools by author section" )and used in the Customization packs I, II, III and IV, that can be found here: http://www.spellholdstudios.net/mods/custpacks or here: http://corellon.clandlan.net/index.php?page=corellon/kotor/pp Thanks in advance!!
oldflash Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 ...which in fact as far as i know is the only tool that can make mods compatible, unless fred update KT... You should have a look to second post (at bottom) Mod Compatibility Tools Kotor Mod Manager (KMM) DLG/UTI/UTC Language Converter TSLPatcher It's not easy to make compatible 2 mods which use same files. I'm talking here about textures, models, items difinition (.uti), dialogs, scripts... However, I think TSLPatcher is perfect.
Immortality Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 The thing with kiss is that it makes them compatible automatically, so yes, it IS easy to make them compatible. Read the KISS info In any case, it doesnt mean that if you dont use it, someone else might want to use it, so ill still appreciate if someone added it to the tool list Cya arond!! Edit tk102: Done!
