Wall Worm Forums

Yes, it's something I can add. It's just time. I am one of world's top MAXScript people, but not the best C++ people. The WW plugin for MDL Loading is all C++. It's now been a few years since I did any serious looking into that code. So it would take some time. I very much intend to add Morph, Animation and 2nd UV support ... but whether I will actually get to find the time for that is another issue. I've toyed with hiring someone to help update some of the C++ plugins, but finding someone knowledgeable about Source engine coding and also Max SDK is hard--and those I know are too busy right now to take up any side gigs.

Is it possible for you to do the update on WallWorm plugin?
I know you are probably busy with Autodesk and stuff.

There are probably other ways I can try to get this channel out, but it would be most comfortable via WallWorm.
I tried MilkShape, MESA for Maya, also Valve's Model Viewer . No luck. I will try HammUEr for Unreal now. There is also some Blender method, that I am not familiar with yet.

I know it's been a while since you replied, but do I understand it correctly that you are still trying to get the original second UV-channel from official Valve models? I'm really not sure if it's possible. You could actually do an update that allows this, Shawn?

Version 5.1.37 released on 6-6-2022

   * WallWormMDL: Fixed several features for getting Game data not working in 3ds Max 2023 (like the MDL browser, texture loader and others).

Version 5.1.36 released on 6-5-2022

   * Entities: Fixed a MAXScript error that could happen when copying entities.
   
   * Displacements: Added new function to send displacements to an XRef Scene.
   
   * Assets: Updateed RES File Generator and BSP PAK functions to collect .NUT script files from entities.

That would be great, thank you!

It's on my list. I'll try to find time to do this.

You can export that channel, but it's not currently imported.

Hi, some maps rely a lot on details, hence I tried to do this again. I couldn't

When I import whole map, secondary channel UVs are squeezed into one corner,
and when I import separately via Model Importer Wall Worm "Import MDL", it only has one channel.

In either case second channel is destroyed.

Any update on this?
