ASE to MD3 error: Too many GEOMOBJECTs

(Makro) #1

If anyone can help out a poor .ase to .md3 n00b, I’ll be forever grateful. :slight_smile:

I have a simple map (a caulk box with a table and a chair), which I am trying to convert to .md3 format just to see how this works. I tried using the .ase in Radiant as a misc_model and it seems ok (it shows up both in the editor and in-game), but when I try to convert it to .md3 format, q3data gives me this error and stops. Does anyone know what the problem is ?

P.S. I’m using these options to create the .ase file. Anything wrong?

%q3map_file% -meta -patchmeta \games\quake3\baseq3\maps%1.map
%q3map_file% -convert \games\quake3\baseq3\maps%1.bsp

Thanks for your time.

What are you using to convert the ASE to MD3?

The ASE generated by raw brushes will not result in a good MD3. The ASE should be optimized and merged into a single object in 3DS Max before conversion to MD3.

I’m using q3data, the version that comes with GtkRadiant 1.4.0. Same thing happens with older versions, though. It’s pretty weird IMO to have a “too many anything” error on such a simple map, but I guess I’m missing something. The .ase has around 75 geomobjects, if I counted them right.

Thanks again for your time. And for the tips. Right now it’s just a really simple map, though, I’m just trying to get an .md3 in the game to see how it’s done.
