Wie exportiere ich ein Objekt von 3ds Max zum MSTS?

Willst du das Objekt direkt exportieren, so musst du es erstmal als *.3ds speichern und dann im Utils-Ordner im MSTS-Verzeichnis die Datei in eine *.s umwandeln.

Du kannst es aber auch einfach haben, indem du die Datei als *.3ds exportierst und dann mit gmax und dem TS-service pack gleich als fertige *.s speicherst/exportierst mit LOD's und allem was dazu gehört. Du musst dann aber in gmax deine gemappten Materialien von *.bmp oder *.tga in ace umändern.

Welcher aufwand dir am geringsten erscheint, musst du selber für dich herausfinden! Vielleicht gibt es ja noch bequemere Lösungen, aber ich bin mit denen schon seit vielen Jahren gut und sicher gefahren!

--> Wie konvertiere ich also diese test200.3ds - Datei in meinem "temporären Ordner" zu einer test200.s - Datei, wenn im gleichen Ordner die conv3ds.exe , makeace.exe und die txt2uni.exe vorhanden sind? Oder mach ich das was falsch?

Conv3DS Release Notes
---------------------

Instructions
------------

* Purpose of this utility

The Conv3DS utility converts one or more Autodesk 3D Studio Release 4 files
(which have a .3DS extension) to a single Kuju Shape file (which has a .S
extension).

Each 3DS file which contributes to the resulting S file describes a level of
detail (or LOD, also sometimes called distance levels) of the shape being
created. Each level of detail has a maximum distance from the camera at which
it will be used (sometimes called its visible distance). The visible distance
must be included in the filename of each 3DS file. For example if the shape
is called 'loco' and there are four LODs, at 50m, 100m, 200m and 400m
respectively then the four 3DS files will need to be named as follows:

loco50.3ds
loco100.3ds
loco200.3ds
loco400.3ds

* Usage

Conv3DS is a command-line utility, that is it must be used from a DOS or
command prompt window within Windows or using the Run option on the Start
Menu. The Conv3DS command-line is constructed as follows:

Conv3DS <output file> <input files>

The output filename is formatted as follows:

<base>.s

Where <base> is the base name of the shape.

The input filenames are formatted in the following manner and separated
by spaces:

<base><visdist>.3ds

<base> is the base name of the shape and <visdist> is the visible distance of
the LOD contained within the file.

* Examples

Conv3DS loco.s loco50.3ds loco100.3ds loco200.3ds loco400.3ds

This will take the four input 3DS files and create the Kuju shape file
"loco.s" with four LODs at 50m, 100m, 200m and 400m.

* Notes

Even in the case where you are creating only a single LOD it is important to
provide the visible distance as this will determine the ultimate distance at
which the object is visible.

If you are using filenames which contain spaces then you must enclose each
filename in double quotes e.g.

Conv3DS "My First Loco.s" "My First Loco 50.3ds" "My First Loco 100.3ds"

Please ensure that the base element of the 3DS file name does not end with a
numeric digit for example where your shape is called dash9 and the
visible distance for this LOD is 50m calling that file dash950.3ds will result
in the visible distance for that LOD being set to 950m. Therefore it is
suggested you separate the visible distance element of the 3DS file name from
the rest in this case with a non-numeric character, e.g. in the previous
example dash9_50.3ds would work correctly and result in that LOD having a
visible distance of 50m.

Additionally please ensure that there are no other characters between the
visible distance and the .3DS file extension in the filename. For example,
acela200m.3ds would not work, but acela200.3ds would be fine.

Due to the limitation of the length of node names in the 3DS format it has
been necessary to introduce a translation step into the conversion process.
The following translations will take place.
