Ah, how would I open a .Prop file? Something like Notepadd++?

Yeah, that'd work. It'd be in plaintext, you'd just have to look past all the random symbols until you see something with ".skl" at the end. Otherwise you'd use a hex editor to look through 'em.

Hm, for some reason the texture of the Layer_3's for Bigby doesnt all line up correctly. I did figure out the render to texture too but certain meshes creates a blank file as if there's nothing there. I guess I could always map the hair to the detail map rather than the other way around, though the texture messes up slightly, white dots everywhere :P

Once you've downloaded the script from the first page (TelltaleGames_D3DMesh) save it to your 3DS scripts folder, mine is C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk\3ds Max 2009\Scripts for example. Once in 3DS, click MAXScript at the top of the page, goto Run and run the script. Once you've selected which game you want, the script will ask you for the skl file first, and then the d3dmesh files after that, and it should load :P then you can drag and drop the dds files to the model, obviously head goes with the head model etc.

I've probably missed something.

Well, what I've been doing is dragging them from the folder they're stored in, directly onto the model within 3ds max.

Hey Random, I don't suppose you could fix the mapping with Bigby's Layer 3's could you? The face maps line up perfectly, I think most of the "WolfOut" textures are fine too, but the Wolf and the Bigby model, not so much.

quickbms's script (Telltale_D3DTX_Batman_GotG_TWD3.bms) can't convert new fifth episode's (A New Frontier​) textures. Telltale again change something in the file format ((

Outdated version, I presume? Since there was the one glitch with Episodes 3 and 4 that I'd fixed earlier, after all.

No, there is just one file (goboRichmondApartments.d3dtx) that created an error and did not allow quickbms to convert rest of textures.

Ah, that would explain it. I still need to update the script to export those and the lightprobe textures correctly (they contain multiple textures, which causes my script to error with 'em), might have some time later this week to do so.

Jesse face and mouth mesh are very messed up. Trying to fix this like 20 Times and always fail. I'm using 3DS Max 2017

Any help?
