Greetings,

has anyone had anyluck opening FXShldTripod.w3x in 3d studio max, and how did you go about it, i want to make some different shield sizes for different units, for example a shield that goes around men and infantry and also a shield that goes around mothership.

[Slye_Fox]

there is no w3x impoerter.

I gotta correct you, there are w3x importers, just they don't work perfectly yet.

Also you don't need that model, just use the shield shader on a deformed sphere...

I have been playing around with the shader. I exported it, got that stupid error for the shader, which apparently dosnt mean anything important and the file still works.

but when i goto complie the mod i get the following error.

Critical: XmlFormattingError: XML Formatting error encountered in file://C:/program files/electronic arts/command & conquer 3/mod sdk/art/fx/fxshieldinfantry.w3x <line0, position 0>: Root element is missing.

Anyone have any idea what this means ?

Now that looks impressive....

That was missing from the file...

All my files named that are only 1k, and there isnt any data in the files so that i can have a look at them, where abouts did you get the original FXShldTripod.w3x from ?

[Sgt. Rho]

You don't need it.

Can you please give me a hint as to why my shield isnt coming up in the game ?

[Sgt. Rho]

Without the model + code you're using, I can't.

[Darkwander]

Changed;

			<!-- Forcefield Generator -->
			<scriptedModelDraw
				id=&#34;ModuleTag_DrawForcefield&#34;
				OkToChangeModelColor=&#34;true&#34;>
				<ModelConditionState
					ParseCondStateType=&#34;PARSE_DEFAULT&#34;></ModelConditionState>
				<ModelConditionState
					ParseCondStateType=&#34;PARSE_NORMAL&#34;
					ConditionsYes=&#34;USER_1&#34;>
					<Model
						Name=&#34;FXShldTripod&#34; />
				</ModelConditionState>
			</ScriptedModelDraw>

to the following;

			<!-- Forcefield Generator -->
			<scriptedModelDraw
				id=&#34;ModuleTag_DrawForcefield&#34;
				OkToChangeModelColor=&#34;true&#34;>
				<ModelConditionState

did you include the "FXShldInfantry.w3x" on the beginning of the XML, and is the FXShldInfantry.w3x in the folder FX in the Art folder?

[Darkwander]

yes and yes, to both of them...

Sorry forgot to post the coding for the top.

[Darkwander]

I think the error is in the actual file. I don't think i did it right in 3d Studio.
