Hi, i was wondering if it was possible for u guys to make me two or three background battleships.

the ships dont have to be detail at all, it is supposed to like, 2000m away in my ET map.

i was thinking about DKM Admiral Scheer Heavy Cruiser, DKM Kormoran HSK-8 1939 (Merchant) and DKM Prinz Eugen.

i know those could be made 2D background pictures, but i allso want to use them as small models to have in an office or something like that,
i have no idea about the polycount, but i know it dont have to be a high count. ill upload blueprints av the ships

it needs to be .md3 (for enemy territory)

At that distance I am assuming you want ultra low poly, anything too high would slow the map down for lower end machines, like all the extra polys used on the radar map for example.

I can have a look at it over the weekend for you, I think the best bet is to minimise the amount of polys used on this one so just the general shape of it comes through, yes?

yes, thats what i had in mind

Turns out I can't save as .md3

Do you have Milkshape?  Or some other application that can convert such as .obj or .3ds as an .md3 ?

i had milkshape, but the trail is now over >.<

Try this Bravo Clicky. Not sure what version of max you're using and if those exporters work though.

That exporter just gives me a .dle file.  What do I do with it?

Eh what... I remember it worked for me back then. I've no idea what you should do with it. Sorry.

Ok mate no worries, it must be outdated or something then.  I am using Max 2009

GTK radiant 1.5 tells me it can use .3ds and .obj, so it shouldnt be any problem

In that case I'll save as a .3ds then

great!

You can import those filetypes in Radiant alright, but AFAIK it won't work in ET. .md3 and I believe .ase too are the only filetypes supported by ET.
You can try though, it's been so long since I've done anything with ET and mapping, I could easily be wrong.

hmm, lets just cross our fingers

I've started on this, but might take a few weeks, been a bit busy

no prolbem at all ^^ gives me allot of time fixing bugs etc etc
