Hi!

Currently I have the 3D GameStudio 6.22 Warez version, but I am soon going to buy the "Extra" original version from www.3dgamestudio.com. But first I wanna make sure that I can use 3ds max together with the application (so that there is no struggelling). So here's my questions:

1. Can I use "hit test" with models from 3ds max?

2. Can I import the model with materials and textures (I can due to the manual), but it asks for a .tga file, which I don't have any.. I just have usual .bmp or .jpg files as the texture.

Plz help me so that I can buy the software, and plz only answer if you have a "real" answer.

-WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE STANDART AND EXTRA VERSION?-

Thanks/ Robin

No Physichs Engine? No Bone Animation? Everything is gone in the Extra version.. I can't create a "real" game if I don't have that stuff... I don't want to create old school graphics games...

Anyone that know about 3ds max... Can I create a character with different movement stances for walking, jumping and so on and then use it in GameStudio so that I can make it with the Extra version? If I can, then where do I learn how to do It so that It works from 3ds to GameStudio?

I have also converted the texture to .tga format. So when I import the .3ds file into MED, I also choose the texture .tga file...It works, but the texture is totally missplaced on the object.. How do I align it correctly?

Thanks/

You can use Gamespace lite to do that although there is a poly count limit for the lite version but it is free. I use the full version of Gamespace to do the base mesh and uv map. I then rig the bones and do the animation with med. This works well for me.

As far as not being able to do a "real" game with the extra version that is just not true. you can use bryce or pov to create textures that are good looking. You can do almost everything that the commertial version can do. If you really need bones then go for that version and then upgrage to pro later.

ok. The thing is that I can't use a poly limit.... cause almost all my models excceds the limit (already tried), second I know how to use 3ds max (not GameSpace).

I noticed one more thing, I applied the texture in MED and it looked pretty good now, but when I imported it into WED and played the game. The texture were really bright and I could look through the model :S

What's wrong?

The warez version is buggy. 6.20.2, of which the warez version was based on, was a beta release not available to the general public.

Ya know, why don't you download the trial version. Throw the warez version in the trash and try out the trial version. I don't know what limitations there are in functionality for the trial version compared to the Extra edition such as whether or not you can import 3DS models.

Yes, but I have the warez version 6.20.2 with a cracked 6.22 patch.

The problem with the trail version is that it is limited to 30 days only.

I would do everything in the world to get the "3D Gamestudio A6/Extra" version and a copy of "GameSpace 1.6", but right now I haven't got the money to purchase these (especially not GameSpace).

Actually I have found a crack to GameSpace Light that makes you able to use unlimited polygons (but it still don't work to save as the GameStudio format).

Hope I can buy them in the future (cause nothing breaks original software)

Think I'll have to use and learn GameSpace Light and the 3D GameStudio Warez (and Trail) for some time until I have the money.

then buck up like the rest of the people here and support the fine effors of the developers.

Well, while saving up, you can write your design document, which, in short, is a detailed plan of your game. Even make maps of your levels as BMP files functioning as plans. Then, when you buy, you can then take your plans into action and build your game. While waiting, you can fine-tune your plans and fix any anomolies.

Also, you don't have to start out with Extra (or the higher editions). If your budget doesn't permit a $90 purchase, go with standard edition. You can later upgrade when you get the money.

ThePainKiller, in [url=http://www.coniserver.net/ubbthreads/showflat.php/Cat/0/Number/633378/Main/631151/#Post633378]this thread[url], you said you bought 3DGS from a seller. But then in here, you said you got a 6.20.2 warez version of 3DGS and applied a patch to a warez version. Whatever you do, it won't work.
