How to import a unit modle into 3Ds Max 4.0+ or gmax:
Now i know there's been other virsion about this but my is really fully, deeply, extreamly, detailed guide. since some of the members just don't understand the readme. Well i hope u can learn from this guide alot, if any problem just reply me back with further information you might have.
ok, first you got to have Vercingetorix's mod downloaded. ( i don't think you need to now how to install vercingetorix's mod, but if you do reply back and i'll tell you how since some people don't understand the readme)
Now open up 3ds max (or gmax, wich is the one i'm using)
On the right side of your workspace there are some register cards. One of them has the symbol of a hammer.(upper right corner) Click the button. One of the buttons in the sub menu says "MAXScript" if it doesn't appear click more buttons and then choose it. . Click on "Run Script" and choose the import/export script where you installed it to. This means you should see vercingetorix's programm in the folder c:/gmax(or 3ds Max)/scripts. Open up the folder that says cas_ import_export_69b , and then double click on the file that says CAS_IE_b69.ms Now look under the "Run Script" button it says utilities under this word is a box that says "R:TW Import/Export". Select it. By clicking the down arrow and clicking it again. now scroll down your bar. Now under this r:tw import/export box there are three tabs at the bottom, click the one that says R:TW Import after that at the bottom of this will apear a box that says options, inside this box there's a button that says "Set textures folder path" and click it. Now look for the file where u put ur rtw data. Usually in c:/ like mine. ex= this is where my file is located C:/programfiles/activision/rometotalwar/data/models_unit . highlight it and press ok. now below the option box there's another box that says imports, inside this box there is tab that says " Import CAS..." well guess what, click it. Now go to the folder where ur rtw files are, C:/programfiles/activision/rometotalwar/data/models_unit, and there will be a bunch of file of the units of soldiers in the game. chose the one u want to customize. try choosing one that ends with _400.cas or ends with _high.cas these are better to look and work with. Two basic example you may want to try first are: unit_east_cataphract_400.cas for cavalery
unit_barb_peasant_high.cas for infantry
Now this is just to import a modle into your 3ds max or gmax. now to edit just let me know if you need help with that too or exporting back out your image. Hope this helps you. Peace out.
