Weapon Creation [message #8484]

Being quite good at 3ds Max, I have created several weapons (textures included). I have reasonable knowledge of Fable modding, but cannot create new entries for weapons... I have tried and tried. I have searched for countless hours on these forums on how to do so, with no avail. Is there any in depth guide on how to do this?

Importing and Exporting is fine...I have no problem with that. The modelling side of things is absolutely fine. My only problem is creating a new entry with FE3!

Its the importing of the model and its textures that screws up...

just quoting hunter

if you have any problems like that i suggest asking ble or oldboy

by mods he was toasted,
and now he has found himself banned.

Yeah, you'll have to add textures to textures.big and link them in the materials yourself when importing models.
As for adding a completely new item to Fable you'll need to create new entrys for it in game.bin. I suggest looking at an existing item and seeing how it is setup and which entries it links to, then copy and modify all required entries to make your weapon work. This is how Bluetooth's throwing disc is done.

Model(Big)
Textures(Big)
Text entries(Big)

OBJECT_WHATEVER(OBJECT)
OBJECT_WHATEVER_INVENTORY(inventory cdef)
OBJECT_WHATEVER_WEAPON(Weapon Cdef)
etc
etc
etc

Remeber all NEW cdefs need to be uniquely named for FE to be able to make a fmp out of it.

Models can be kind of wacky with the way .x handles transforms. So it can require a lot of trial and error before the model looks right in-game.

Apathy Cannot Inspire.
Ambivalence cannot lead.
Loved me. Feared me.
Changed me. Killed me.
Anything would be something.
But nothing is worst of all.

Yeah... Thanks guys... I think I've got it sorted out - Linking is fine - textures appear to be right... Only one problem, I get a memory handling error and the model is not displayed in FE3, however, it still works in game. I guess its not that important but...

Soooo...when in FE do you click game.bin>create new entry>
-create new OBJECT
-create new CWeaponDef
-create new ???
...this is where I have problems as well.
When you are using an existing model do you just rename and save or is there more intricate work needed? I really have searched here and at forums.projectego.net and am trying to figure it out on my own
I have retextured Skorms Bow, I have exported the OBJECT info w FE, but am stuck there, any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, anyone.
