Hi,
By any chance would someone beable to email me soccer_oz(AT)hotmail.com or send me a link to a working dummy's reference file for creating custom components.
i need both the 3ds max and gmf file.
reason for this is i think i may have corrupted my current gmf file, i do everything the dummy tutorial for creating components says but when i go to use it in the game i can see it, lets me click on it but as soon as i press the spanner to attach it to a robot it crashes the game.. if anyone knows why this is happening and can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.

cheers
Tuxedo

You have something messed up in your txt file.

i found the reference files i was looking for on the gametechmods downloads, thats what i get for not looking good enough..

i gathered its something in the txt file but i cant figure out what, there are no gaps or extra spaces, i followed the tutorial exactly.. only thing i can think of is 3ds max 9 doesnt work for this stuff

No, 3ds max 9 does not. You need to use 4 or 5.

3ds max 4 or 5 plus unofficial GMF exporter + GMFComp (http://code.google.com/p/gmftoolkit). There's a tutorial on the wiki. Just replace the part about dummee's compiler with mine. https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Creating_Components .

I also suggest reading https://gametechmods.com/RA2wiki/index.php?title=Introduction_to_RA2_modding .
