PC BlackGold Online maxscript

[Pesmontis]

I'm happy to find that this script also works with 3DSmax7 and 3DSmax 2008.
Importing doesn't show any memory error, except when then script enters an infinite loop (occurred once in ~20 tests).
More than half of the tested models imported flawless (eg. 'qh_con_mount_0001', 'boss_0121', 'bg_bear').

Other model imports typically fail on these lines in the script:

Code: Select all

str += bit.intAsChar (ReadByte bstream #unsigned))

and:

Code: Select all

.. = (Readshort f #unsigned + 1)

Then there are also cases where the script reads a file beyond EOF.
I'm not sure which file (xskt / xmod / mtl).

I have a few questions as well:
- Why read the .mtl file when the imported model doesn't have (a) material(s) assigned?
- Would it be possible to make the script more flexible? (eg. "Import skeleton Yes/No")

I also tried to import all separate parts of a playable character.
Parts already loaded got distorted, especially when importing boots, although the same xskt file is used per import.
I guess it would be nice if the script could recognize that the skeleton is already loaded..

Yeah, it's possible. But I'm working on other games now, I lost interest in Black Gold, so if someone would like to finish it - please, be my guest. Otherwise you should wait some time, for me to return to this format research. About materials, yes it's very important to read them - since they pointing how much textures model using, without this info model import will crash! Honestly, all errors you're getting, because there's much types of materials, and I can't cover them all for now That's the reason some models would crash, especially from newer version of the game/patch/update. It's very weird format as for me, especially animation
