Ok, I'm almost there on getting it to work.

There are a few problems left, and then my creative mind can be unleashed :3

When I use my converted testmodel in the editor my textures are not showing properly.

This is how the 3d model looks like in max. Is this right? I got an High-ress model and Low-ress model, both
with the exact same uvw unwrap modifiers. Is the setup and naming correct?

Anyone a suggestion on what wnet wrong?

Try "BaseMaterial" instead of "Material" for the first layer.

best regards, Jojo

Check for the most recent ManiaPlanetLog files, if you can find errors related to your object.
Which format did you save your textures with?

The texture inside max is a .jpg.

But the ones inside the setup folder are as followed:

I used ati compressonator to make the following textures:

simplejump_D.DDS (is with the Dxt1)
simplejump_S.DDS (just copied from the first one and changed the letter "D" to "s")
simplejump_N.DDS (is with the Bc5 index)

This is an interesting concept. Too bad I can't even compile the *.fbx files. Not even the sample pack for storm and forge.
I did this so far:
Custom install of maniaplanet here:
..\ManiaPlanet\

Which contains NadeoImporter.exe, ManiaPlanet.exe and common and personal data folders, and also WorkBlocks
..\ManiaPlanet\Common\
..\ManiaPlanet\Personal\
..\ManiaPlanet\WorksBlocks\
..\ManiaPlanet\NadeoImporter.exe\
..\ManiaPlanet\ManiaPlanet.exe\

this works fine:
CMD>..\ManiaPlanet\NadeoImporter.exe object /materialsist

this does not work at all:
CMD>..\ManiaPlanet\NadeoImporter.exe object /WorkBlocks/Common/Forge/*.fbx (or any specific name)
CMD>..\ManiaPlanet\NadeoImporter.exe object /WorkBlocks/Storm/Dolmen/*.fbx (or any specific name)

so I moved the folders to any area I could think of like
CMD>..\ManiaPlanet\NadeoImporter.exe object /Common/Forge/*.fbx (or any specific name)
CMD>..\ManiaPlanet\NadeoImporter.exe object /Storm/Dolmen/*.fbx (or any specific name)
or
CMD>..\ManiaPlanet\NadeoImporter.exe object /personal/Common/Forge/*.fbx (or any specific name)
CMD>..\ManiaPlanet\NadeoImporter.exe object /personal/Storm/Dolmen/*.fbx (or any specific name)
or
CMD>..\ManiaPlanet\NadeoImporter.exe object /common/Common/Forge/*.fbx (or any specific name)
CMD>..\ManiaPlanet\NadeoImporter.exe object /common/Storm/Dolmen/*.fbx (or any specific name)
etc etc etc..

any idea what I'm doing wrong? As I got it, the folder structure I made at first should be ok..

I also tried importing/exporting the sample pack in 3dsmax/blender, make new models etc. Nothing seems to work so far. I also read the instructions quite a few times.

tOMME_ :
Open cmd line prompt
go to your ManiaPlanet.exe dir (for me it's c:\Program Files (X86)\ManiaPlanet)
Then type NadeoImporter.exe Object Storm/Forge/*.FBX (it's work)
NadeoImporter go to the wright dir itself

NOT NadeoImporter.exe Object c:\DirOfManiaPlanetUserDirWorkBlocks\Storm\Forge\*.FBX (not working)

Edited : NadeoImporter.exe Object Storm/Forge/*.FBX working
NadeoImporter.exe Object /Storm/Forge/*.FBX NOT working

Thanks alot :thumbsup: Now I just realized WorkBlocks should not be a part of the path, since It's already included in NadeoImporter.exe. Silly me :roll: But still a little weird. Now, I'll be back for some more action, tomorrow :)
