Hi all,
I am a 3D Artist and would like to try to update some of the 3D assets in the game, such as the buildings. Is there a tutorial/guide on how to do this? I am completely new to MM modding and not sure where or how to start.
Thank you

Yes there is. While in game press ALT F1. Then the middle mouse button or wheel. That will give you access to the buttons on the left. Click on Export, then Save the obj file. Wait until the Continue comes up. Click on continue. Then click on model and then type. There you need to go to where your models are. They must be OBJ extention. In blender the model you make there must be saved as a wavefront file, which is an OBJ file. Grayface made it possible to put more models into MM7. But you must install the new extension and editor. After placing the models on the map, click save, then on compile. That will give two files that go into games.LOd. Use MMAchive to place into the games.lod. You will need to do this for all the maps in the game.foreverthesceptic wrote: ↑28 Mar 2023, 12:48 Hi all,

Thank you. Sorry, if this is pretty obvious, but I have downloaded both MMExtentionTmp and MMEditor, but there is no obvious way to install. It's just a bunch of folders. I can't see an executable file. Do they need to be placed somewhere in the directory of the game I am editing? If so, where?DaveHer wrote: ↑28 Mar 2023, 21:47Yes there is. While in game press ALT F1.

Extract into game directory, so scripts folder is in the folder where the executable (mm?.exe) resides.
Unfinished mod by me: MM7 Rev4 mod, MMMerge version.

BTW (sorry for doublepost) I have unfinished blender/mm modelling tips file, which includes some you probably will find useful. I'll try to complete it soon.

Use 3D modeling software (such as Blender, Maya, or 3ds Max) to create or modify your 3D assets. Keep in mind the scale, texture requirements, and compatibility with the game engine.foreverthesceptic wrote: ↑28 Mar 2023, 12:48 Hi all,
