when i make a pretty good model and try to inject to the game using hmt 3.5 it says "to many indicies or vertices" can someone tell me how to make the indicies and vertices perfect as the original model?

You have to remodel it from the original model in milkshape (most other programs don't work with it properly). To do this, open up hmt, extract the model you want, import it as a .obj model into milkshape, then when you're done remodeling it, export it as a .obj file, and inject it over the old model in HMT. You cannot add/remove any points/faces from the original model, only move them around.

I will give you an example " i take the rocket launcher and then i just make the barrel longer " simple right. Then i export it as and obj file to hmt than try and put it over the original file and it sais that it has to many indicies or vertices. Ive seen some of the downloads and the vertices and the indicies are exactly the same as the original model. Does anybody understand what i am talking about now ?

if u want to make new models move on to ce modding. nothing is impossible with ce (except editing the game's source code)

the only thing thats impossible in pc is new maps and editting the source code, just get a mac person to inject the extra verticies

by the way madmaniak what did you mean by "did you add anymore points"?

the36ma4ia · Post by **the36ma4ia** » Sat May 14, 2005 1:15 pm

i also meant " i want to Know " not " i dont want to know"
