Well, the site sometimes timeouts for me. But other than that, it's much more stable than the old forum on robotarena.com.

You're doing everything OK.
Do you have a hard drive with the letter C: ? Do you have write access to it? (eg. are you running the script on an administrator account, or on a limited account?)

I meant where do i compile the decompiled items? I am not sure if you are doing everything correctly. Let's see, these are the steps to modify a component in-game: 1) Locate the GMF file you want to modify (can be an original component, or a copy, whatever it just must show up in the game) 2) Use the GMF decompiler to transform it into ASCII form (readable by humans, editable with notepad), and save it where you won;t loose it (eg. your desktop), it would be smart to call it x_txt.gmf, where x is the original name of the file. 3) Edit the _txt.gmf file with notepad, modify anything you want, here you want to change the name of the bitmap that maps the component. 4) Use the GMF Compiler to compile the _txt.gmf file Or, in pictures:

The compiler is in the link I posted earlier.

Is the ra2 exporter plugin compatible with 3ds max 2009:?: Read from the second paragraph: https://gametechmods.com/forums/showpost.php?p=24005&postcount=8In short: Not an official one (Gabriel's .dlu plugin), but there is an unofficial (a MaxScript). A tutorial on how to export is on the Wiki.

Well, it's 0:40 AM on January 1st, 2009. Believe me or not, I just slipped out of a party for a minute to wish you a very, very good year, and, well, I guess that's all.
Happy New Year, GTM!

You have only one RBCollection List in your GMF file, but there should be two of them. be sure you use both the latest version of the compiler and decompiler found at http://code.google.com/p/gmftoolkit/downloads/list, and not dummee's.

You can aswell install a strong firewall on your machine and route all ports to it / enable DMZ if your router supports that.
However, be advised that your computer becomes then vulnerable to all sort of attacks.

Well, my computer is alive and I've got access to my files back!
As you may know already, I was working ona full-scale 3d gmf editor before the major crash. Well, since it's not really ready yet, I might give you some insights on what I am currently working on:
(I will try to cut the techno-jabber to a minimum)
The first, and most important part of the whole project is a library called GMFClass. In case you don't know what a library is, it's a sort of a program, or rather, a foundation for other to write programs on. In a normal environement, you have a Audio Playback library, a FIle Access library, and so on. Here the goal of GMFClass is to parse (or: read) GMF files, in both their Binary (used by RA2) and ASCII (readable by a human) form. Not only it does that, but it also does this is in a very transparent way to the one that uses thsi library. Instead of needing the programmer to learn how GMF files are formed, the library gives back (and this is the exciting part, at least to me), a hierarchy of the different stuff in the file. So, what we get, is a list, which in turns contains another list, and so on. Imagine as if you were navigating through a menu in a cellphone: first you have the GMF menu, in which you can access the Object List, Material List, etc. After selecting a main category, you then can choose forma lsit of objects or materials in the scene, eg. the main body of a motor component. After, you can access a property of that part, eg. the color, a position of a point in 3d-space, etc. So, navigating a GMF file is just dumbed down to accessing (if we want to get the Diffuse COlor a Material #4):
Materials->3->Diffuse
of the GMFClass library.
You may ask yourselves: why should I care? Here's the interesting part: I plan to ship a sample tool with the library. And the tool I am talking about, is that 3d editor. What is interesting, most of the job had to be done in the library itself, not in the editor code. So, once I do release the library, creating an application based on it is a breeze, so even begginner programmers (and please, do try some programming, it's very easy) will be able to use this. Including Python programmers! (*wink* Madiaba).
So, for instance, if you need to rapidly "grow" a coupel fo components in size, you will do (in pseudo-code):
open file input.gmf
for every geometry object in objectList do
multiply object's x, y, and z vertex coordinates by 1337
end
Which means you can script very small and fast utilities in a few lines of code to execute a task that would normally take a lot of parsing, frustration and low-level stuff to be messed with.
When will it be done? THe library is complete (just a few bugs to fix), and the editor is done about 50%. Beta will probably be released soon.

Nah, I'm alive. Just let me reinstall all of my stuff back, and I may give a shot at it.

Congrats on the motherboard. That was quick. Yes, it was faster than I ever imagined. Funny that I got it back from service just on Christmas day.

I use photobucket. Flickr is completely different. It's oriented towards photographers and Web 2.0, and it;s much more than just image hosting it also offers a great catalogue of images, collections and a huge community.

Anyone here has Flickr? I just created an account and added somephotos, and I was wondering if some of you use it. Here's my photostream: http://flickr.com/photos/sergiuszb/Right now it's cameraphone only, I'll upload some more from my SLR later.
