OT: DoGa import/export issues ? HERE !

Setting up parts is most terrifying. You need to render them, create a thumbnail for each picture. Create a bigger Thumbnail featuering EACH single render. Then you need to edit the parts.ini file, in addition you need to edit all the parts you want to add to fit a certain theme, i.e. Ball01, Ball02 and so on. This majorly sucks. No way i will do that work more than once. To make it EVEN worse, each library/Thumbnail only features a maximum of 16 parts. Downloaded a hundred parts ? Oh well, go and create 6 thumbnails then...

Rag - it used to be a terrifying. I had to do it many times. Now with the latest version of L3, it recognizes the INI files automatically. No editing.

WTF: i downloaded l3 including the highres textures. STILL it seems it wont "automaticly" import them the way you described it. I still have to create a folder with thumbnailes and a "major" thumbnail, is this right ?

Yo and while im at it. Today i downloaded this metasquee tool to export and import stuff into DoGa. I created a fighter launch system in 3dsmax, exported it as 3ds. I then opened it into metathingy and choose to export it into doga. Now starting doga, the part shows up just fine. But it wont apply textures at all. It seems it has still the incorporated material/base color which was automaticly added within 3ds. Is there any way i can "clean" it up, or do i have to choose specific options to allow a proper import ? Ty you a lot.

AT, the links you provided in the quote save in a *.lzh format. How do I use these? Also, what did you mean by Doga L3 or better???? Is there a higher version?

You will have to ask Todd over at the Doga English site guys.

As a bit of a side note, here are some of the robot models created by users and posted on the doga website. They were originally for doga2 but this handy-dandy zip has them all converted to doga3. For all you lazy bastiches out there.

Doga3Bots.zip

Just decompress and then put the folder in DOGACGA->data->l3_samp->connection->human->robot folder

If you happen to reverse engineer any of these into some interesting Space Robots please post them so I might be able to finish my Giant Robot Mod.
