Export it and open the directx .x file in your 3D app.

Anymore than that is beyond the scope of this website.

.d ?

You need to install the .x plugin for 3Ds Max.

I dont know which version of 3Ds Max you're using but a couple of the plugins can be found in the Usefull Downloads thread

Graphics.big. Click Save LOD and then open that in Blender/3ds Max.

Are you clicking OPEN in Blender? Because if you are, you need to go File>Import?DirectX File.

Just go to the original model in FE and click LOAD. Select the "modified" model and voila.

EDIT: Just out of curiosity, which weapon did you edit, and what did you do to it?

Ya it'll be invisible unless you add a texture Razz

You could just use the texture of the original wep that you modified and see wut happens...

Are you sure that...

1. Your texture is correct.

2. Your mesh is correct.

3. They were both imported correctly.

This is what I do, using blender i made a hollow tube( to test it out). Then I added a texture by using one from blender) After I exported it as a x. format. After that I went to the screen in FE that shoes a weapon going in circles. I pressed load and loaded it in place of the stick. Then I start fable, but it comes out invisble and flickers sometimes. But when it flickers, it flickers as a stick not the tube I made.

Check the other LOD's in FE, you'll find that these are still the stick.

When i try this it gives me an erorr report, there must be somthing i dont know. What i told you in the description earlier was exactly what i did(exactly). What else do i have to do, or dont know, if there is a link that tells me how to import models correctly step by step that would be nice.

Both are controlled by helpers in the model.

If you're trying to edit textures, try this guide I posted (yes it's on another site, I'll get around to posting it here sooner or later)

Well, first you need to become quite talented with Photoshop/The GIMP. And I would start with either recoloring textures or editing them, if you've only been modding for 5 days...

no, thats not what i meant, i mean changing the texture, like you chang a mesh to maze instead of whisper, but instead you change the texture, not editing it. (i have gotten a lot better now, but i still havnt figured it out)
