Hey are there any CS2 file with weapons? and yes I am new to this, using 2015 version.

Or what should I do?
and the plugin refuse to load, must be because I use 2015 and not 2013....
working on this:
http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...9#post14379659

Now I use 2013, I mean wow nothing is backward capability or what ever.

Ohh well up and running with 2013 all the plugins works, tried to follow the guide as best as I could, and get this error in BOB
there are a lot more points made in the Bug report, but that part just stands out, I have removed the old model, but it says the next 3 lods are still there, how do I remove them?
ERROR!! lorica_squamata_lod2 Subobject 1 does not have all the required textures : diffuse_colour, gloss, normal!
EDIT: found out they was still hidden the program does a poor job telling you.
Current Bug report.

How do I show hidden nodes and 3d items, and visa versa.
I want to bind it to the spine nodes instead of shoulders.

I am getting that same bug report did you figure out how to fix it or what causes it?

I forgot how do you export Weapons from 3ds Max to CS2 so it can work in BOB? BOB keeps saying the swords are in Error. I deleted the Old Model helmet model, got rid of the weighted rigid material. But it is coming up with this.

I don´t know if this is still a problem for you, but there you go:
You need the following maps added in 3ds max: diffuse, level, gloss, normal, specular as .tga files.
Even if it should show your texture in max without the complete 5, you wouldn´t get it through bob as it needs all 5. BOB will convert then level.tga and gloss.tga into gloss_map.dds.

If I have understood the tutorial correctly the tutorial shows only how to bring external models into rome 2 but i need help with opening the CA rigmodelV2. My question is how do i open vanila models with 3dsmax the rest of the stuff to do to bring the edited model itno the game should be feasible for me

Use the program Ultimate Unwrap 3d, with the Empire Total War puglin, with this program you can open rigmodV2 and convert into other formats, like .obj to open with 3d editors.

Add _lod0 to the end of the model name. A simple fix.

just change the ruleset using a text editor

or use diffuse (not diffuse_color) plus level and gloss and specular
