FlyFF Import/Export Tools for 3dsMax

Hello. The one and only GlaphanKing here.

As most of you know, I am building a script to import models to max, edit them and then export them back as originally used or how ever you want. Since I am more of a programmer and not a 3d programmer, I would like some advice and or help.

My biggest wall has been bones and animating them. I can import every single mesh file (o3d), but the bones (chr) and animation (ani) are giving me problems.

I will gladly hand this tool out to everyone once its completed but I sadly can't get this part right.

If anyone has experience with max or even how the files work, please post it here and I will hopefully get this working.

I can offer you all this early version to get mesh files to load as well as their textures to display. Except for Clockworks. Its texture is wrong for some reason.

Don't worry, the file is clean but the script itself is encrypted until its release. if you want to look at my problems here is the parts that need fixing.

Code:

on btnChr pressed do
		(
			chr = ClsBoneData()
			f = getOpenFileName caption: "Import Bones" types: "Bone Definitions(*.chr)|*.chr"
			version = undefined
			ReadCHR f &chr &version
			
			
			CreateArray &BoneSet chr.BoneCount
		
			For I=1 To chr.BoneCount Do
			(
				if chr.Parents[I] != 0 Then
				(
					BoneSet[I] = BoneSys.CreateBone (point3 0 0 0) Z_Axis Y_Axis
					--BoneSet[I] = BoneSys.CreateBone pos1 pos2 Y_Axis
					BoneSet[I].name = chr.Names[I]
					BoneSet[I].width = 0.05 as Float
					BoneSet[I].height = 0.05 as Float
					BoneSet[I].Parent = BoneSet[chr.Parents[I]]
					BoneSet[I].transform = chr.TM[I] * chr.LocalTM[I]
					--BoneSet[I].pos = chr.TM[I][4]
					--BoneSet[I].length = distance BoneSet[I].Position BoneSet[chr.Parents[I]].Position
				)
			)
			
			For BoneID = 1 To chr.Names.Count Do
			(
				obj = getnodebyname chr.Names[BoneID]
				if obj != undefined Then
				(
					obpar = obj.parent
					if obpar != undefined Then
						obj.length = distance obj.pos obpar.pos
				)
				
			)
			
			
		)
		on btnAniImport pressed do
		(
			f = getOpenFileName caption: "Import Animation" types: "Animation (*.ani)|*.ani"
			
			ReadANI f &Animation

		*

		* 							)
		*
		* 					)
		* 				)
		* 			)

I hope this gets fixed soon. Its making me want to stop this project.
