======

This plug-in allows you to import Xbox 360 Yukes format model files in to 3DS Max.

==============

For 32-bit, copy the XHPMImport.dli into your 3DS Max plugins folder.

For 64-bit, copy the XHPMImport.dli into your 3DS Max plugins folder.

Once installed, you should find "XHPM Model File" as an import option from the file menu.

.YOBJ, .YMX, and a future .XHPM extensions supported.

[instructions and Stuff]

========================

After selecting the import menu item in Max, select any .yobj or .ymx file in a folder.

Note: UFC .ymx models are compressed, you must first decompress them

A selection prompt will then come up, asking if you want to open every model file in the folder.

If you select yes, every .yobj or .ymx (depends on what you initially select) model will load that is in the folder.

Amazing. You're having family troubles, yet you still release something so awesome. I'm going to try to find the sdk for 2013, and will PM. Use it whenever you want. I know what you and your family are going through, and I'm def prepared to wait . Off to TPB I go!

Well, I figured I would give everybody something, which was ready to release, other than missing the materials that is. After I finish the program and release it, I will then finish the plugin as well, and add the materials.

It may not technically be Valentine's Day anymore, but I fucking love this guy. Not just that, but I have a whole new level of respect for you, dude, putting something out there for us like this despite everything you're currently dealing with.

What's this SDK file I should be looking for? I have the 2013 version.

On every installation CD, there is a folder with an SDK installation exe file.

[Mathayus]

Thanks for this, brienj! When I can I´ll try to learn how to use it.

[WFMashUpz]

First of all, I'm really sorry for your loss. It already happened to me, hope you can overcome the situation.

Ok... I don't have a jtagged xbox, I don't even have the game yet, but I thank you for all that you're doing for us. You're just making the game a lot more interesting. Congratulations on your work

One question: can retail users open the program and edit the models too? (not to inject in the game, but to help someone in a mod or whatever)

Yeah, I think you can

I'm going to guess it's not any of these.

I'm looking around in the folders and I'm not seeing anything, though. Essentially:

[WFMashUpz]

Oh, damn, I can't believe I have to donate.

It's really, really hard here. I'm not 18 yet and I don't live in the US.

For those that don't know how to download Autodesk 3Ds Max:

http://students.autodesk.com/?nd=download_center

And just select Autodesk 3d Max and Click download now. Make a new account an select that you are a student.

TO BRIENJ:

BrienJ, I'm able to re-up the file to Mediafire. But I was thinking about you don't want to release it to everybody.

So I thought about upload it and put an password, that I only will release if the users of this Forum PM me or you.

So do you agree with this Idea?

thats a great idea it would help a lot those who really.... want this tool badly

[Guest Agrippa90]

you could make public the work so as to entice new modder to work?

so avoid abuse of power by people who write, mp to receive in exchange for this or that

obviously my thoughts

[El Buvor]

It's uploaded on Xentax so it's kinda public.

[HotavioH]

But who wasn't registered on the site for few months, now have to donate Around 6bucks

[Judders]

Understand your idea, but I think that if Brien wanted to have his file downloaded that way, he would have done it that way in the first place.

Hit the nail on the head.

I don't remember the part about forcing anyone to download the plugin. Either you really want it, or you don't. I've made sacrifices for years for things I wanted. If it's not worth it to you, then just don't get it ...

BTW, if people don't have 3DS Max 9, 3DS Max 2010, or 3DS Max 2011, then the plugin isn't even going to work for you. Downloading the newest version is NOT going to work with the plugin, until I eventually get the SDK and can compile it for different versions. So basically, if you don't have either of these three versions, and you are wanting the plugin, the plugin is going to be useless to you ...

That's what I did.

I'm registered from around 3 years too, but there's some Bro"s that don't wanna to pay that LOL. (I know, they should do that)

[brienj]

you are serious bro ? can not host on mediafire ? (this is a free host)

everything has a solution if the intention is not to pay

poor plugin ..... I admit I exaggerated but it is conditioned by the policy maker.

Because I am a member at XeNTaX for 8 years now. It's not my fault that he now charges to register, which btw,I believe he will let you register for free, although he wouldn't do that for people that are douchebags ...

Also, if I remember, you have a PS3, so I really don't give two craps if you can get the plugin, TBH. Like I said before, there will be an asshole that distributes it on Mediafire eventually, because nobody has any respect for me.

He's clearly stated why he likes to put things up on Xentax first (on several different occasions, no less). Like Rooster said, it wasn't his decision that Xentax requires a donation to join now--nor would a single penny of it even go to him.

Yep, I certainly don't see any of that money, the money goes to Mr. Mouse, for his hosting costs.
