Biggles3 Pilot	posted 06-14- 03:34 PM I know what they do but i just want to know how to use the OL tools on a SM and end up with a load of editable 3d objects and then modify 1 and then recompile the SM and have the bit i modified......well...modified. ------------------ WHATCH YOU TAIL;) IP: Logged
jgro Pilot	posted 06-14- 04:21 PM Copy the ol tools (olc.exe, smd.exe, smd.c, olc.c and cygwin1.dll) to an empty folder. Next place your .sm file in this folder. Open a DOS window and change to this directory that you just put everything into. Type smd xxxx yyyy . xxxx is the name of the .sm file WITHOUT the .sm extension and the yyyy is the new name that you want to call your lods. I usually leave them the same name. This will extract the .sm file into individual lods. To reverse the process type olc yyyy xxxx to recreate the .sm file. Hope this helps. jgro ps: I have a tutorial on how to speed up this process on my website. ------------------ Jgro's Aerodrome www.jgrosaerodrome.50megs.com IP: Logged
Biggles3 Pilot	posted 06-14- 05:17 PM OK this is what happends. I make a file in mw c: and call it OL then i put all those files in it and the ki100 SM in dos i type. C:\OL\smd ki100 ki100 and it comes up with cant open ki100.sm IP: Logged
Sv JAG	posted 06-14- 08:01 PM Make sure ki100.sm i8s not read-only, it should be read-write. (I think) If this is not it, then you have a bad SM file, or at least bad in OL's eyes Try another SM file to see if it works... ------------------ -Sv Wings with Wires IP: Logged
Biggles3 Pilot	posted 06-14- 08:29 PM nope no other SM work as well. tell me exactly what to write in dos... i is dummm IP: Logged
jgro Pilot	posted 06-14- 08:58 PM type in cd c:\OL Then type olc ki100 ki100 It is case sensitive I think. Your problem may be that you have to be in the folder (OL) to get this to work. jgro IP: Logged
Da Jug head Pilot	posted 06-15- 12:01 AM Biggles, the problem is that you have to use the change directory command and be IN the same directory everyting you want to mess with is in. In your example you were operating from the root directory- C: Follow jgro's example above. If you open the DOS window and it comes up C:\windows> You would need to type the following FIRST: cd c:\ol this will change the active directory you are in to the OL directory you created (cd= change directory in DOS). Then you can type in the command smd ki100 ki100 and it should work. Before you type the command make sure the DOS prompt looks like this C:\OL> [This message has been edited by Da Jug head (edited 06-15-2001).] IP: Logged
