I have a side question for you Bored. When i open a level dbo. in fragmotion the Textures are a little screwed up. Do you have this problem too? Is there a simple fix for this?

Can i open a level in fps 2 agk. Save it as a .x or .obj and will be uv mapped and textures correctly? I would like to use the levels in a totally different game engine.

thanks.

Quote: "Are you referring to the universe.dbo, as the texturing will look odd in fragmotion. The Tutorial using DBPro and Fpsc-2-agk resolves that problem. I originally used sketchup to retexture then realised I wanted to do it programmatically. Agk has no save object feature only load object which is why I wrote the function in DBPro."



I was wondering if FPSC2AGK worked similar to fragmotion. Like i could import the universe dbo and textures into fpsc2agk and it would spit out a properly uv mapped .x or .obj model. Then i could open it in fragmotion or milkshape and export to what ever format i wanted...

I'll watch your video again when i get a chance.

thanks for all the great videos.

I have not tried this yet but you can import a level into dbpro. (there is a video on youtube for it and also a written one from Steve Vink in a news letter.)

Then you would use the "create mesh" command. I believe that creates a .x file of the mesh. I only gave it a little thought when i was on the toilet this morning. That might be worth a try. What do you think?
