Custom Models

Anyone know how to load custom models into the game yet? I tried loading an ASE but unfortunately the textures would not illuminate. It was clipped fine and the textures were there...just not affected by light at all.

I put my model in and a model from the game to make sure the editor actually lighted models and sure enough mine didn't light while the in-game one did...so I looked at the textures for the toilet (my test .ase from in-game) and couldn't work out why it worked for that.

AFA lwo objects go, Doom 3 supports them and ASE and I intend to stick with ASE.

My model was on a func_static and I tried it with and without a material file.

Its beacuse you need a 200,000 polly light map.

You need to reference to a working material shader in the //BITMAP.. path of your model.

Any weird submsmoothing whatever meshes or groupls in Max?

I'm not a max user, but Doom3 doesn't accept all the fancy parameters from 3D apps included in game models.

I managed to get it working, Doom 3 doesn't like it if the ASE references any materials other than the bitmap. If there is a specular or bump map referenced in the ASE it goes all confused.

Gate's working sweet now though and looks purdy ^.^
