The 'simple_N.dds' is stored with BC5 block compression but as DXGI file format with an extended header (FourCC: 'DX10'). Does ManiaPlanet support this file format? I have expected 'ATI2' as FourCC.

1) If I got Maniaplanet.exe at D:/ , the folder "WorkBlocks/Canyon/***/" must be on C:/ or on D:/ too?
2) For example I want to make a simple fence for dirt tracks and I called my ".max" file as "Fence1.max" and want is exported to "F1.FBX" (
) with "Fence1_D(_S and _N).dds"s . In 3dsMax, do I need to name the mesh as "***_Lod0" or "_Lod0", and if first, "***" must be a "_TDSN_
MetalPlate_Ice"? (question what to put on the "MetalPlate" too...)
3) Does game crashes when using custom block with TM2Unlimiter?
4) Is "NotCollidable" means "DriveThrough"?
5) Also, before exporting, am I need to create both UV maps as like modifiers? ("Material" and "LightMap".)
6) Maxbox is still left as like for cars?
I'll see if i can make you a little tutorial tonight
, maybe tomorrow because i'm a bit busy tonight.

Is it possible to use an alphamap on the models. In Max the palmtree renders with the alpha applied.
But in the editor it doesnt seem to work

That would be really nice. I hope that you'll take time to do a tutorial.
I know how to do most of things, but I don't know how UV map works. I'm looking forward for your tutorial

Hi,
We'll add support for binary alpha (ie only white or black pixels in alpha channel)
There won't traslucent alpha, since it's only partially supported, and generates artifacts.

I finished making the videoturorial for importing objects, but I'll have to convert it to a h264 compression to put it on youtube. This I will do tomorrow because its late and I have to go out of bed early
. Expect the video to be ready tomorrow in the evening

Ok nice ! I succesfully imported an object in-game, but I'm sure that your tutorial will help.
But now, I have a strange problem that I don't know how to fix
Here's what my block looks like in 3ds max :
*image removed*
And here's my block in Tm2 :
*image removed*
How can I do to put my block on the right side ? Can you help me please ?
Because I tried everything that I thought of and my problem persists.
