Requesting a "Dummies Guide to Adding Capes in Max"

Make sure you have the cas file in descr_model_battle.txt
with the high/med/low/lowest quality

Yeah I've set everything there. I think my problem is something to do with weighting the cape to the bones or something. I've no idea what that means though.

Basically, i just loaded up the cape, I didn't mess around with the bones or the polys afterwards.

I've got a few screenshots to show exactly what I did.

1. Imported the Merc Warband .cas file:



2. Went to File then Merge to get the cape I got off the Centurion .cas:



3. Selected the options as shown below when merging in the cape:



4. Selected "Use Scene Material":



5. Another box came up, clicked "No to All" (remember reading to do that in a tutorial somewhere):



6. And the guy looked great in max, so I imported him. Everythings sorted out in descr_model_battle etc, so the problem is with the model somehow:

Doing exactly as I did in the screenshots above, except clicking "Yes to All" where you said, I got the model to work in-game, but it looks a little strange:



Any ideas whats wrong here?
