Im pretty sure this was asked before, but..... is there a way to convert models in games with physics engines like unreal tournament 2003\2004 to deus ex?
Because i want to try to export some models from a game that uses this engine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_(game_engine)
(engine of popular games like half-life 2 and team fortress 2)

UT03/04 got different engines than HL2.
That's like comparing apples and oranges.

thats not the point, what im asking is that if its possible to convert models from engines like those to deus ex, i am not comparing them.

I think they all use skeletal animation, so not sure possibly decoration with no bones could be exported and imported though, idk enough to say really

well im not going to export ragdolls or anything like that, im going to export some decos BUT some of them have properties that i dont think it will work out on deus ex( like jigglebones and glow on the dark settings)

I admit I'm no expert for that but my own point was the following:
Being able to convert models from UT03/04 doesn't imply to be able to do the same from HL2.
I could imagine the first case being easier since UT03/04 is still unreal engine, while HL2 got an entirely different engine.

i was unsure and that is why i asked !

Just decompile the MDL files, and import the SMD file into 3ds Max with that plugin (it works only with 3ds Max 9 or higher)

oh thank you kalman, just had a quick look at it and it looks like it explains everything, i gotta try it when i have more time.
If i do manage to get the hang of it, i might get this http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Hats onto deus ex

And then what? Have the models for what?
do you have a way so one could 'wear' them?

well thats kinda what i want to "try" to do. And perhaps i might get the unusual particles aswell to attach in the hats.

Well then... When you're done importing, play with PHYS_Trailer and owner stuff!


DO TELL US WHAT YOU MANAGED TO DO

DJ your nuts and why are you purple?

Instead of making a new thread I'll just ask here. How can I extract a usable model from a dx package? When I extract the model using WOTGreal, UCC complains about vertexes.

WHAT ABOUT MY NUTS?
..and I'm not purple, it's pink!

Have you tried the DXMeshTool..?
