milkshape 3dt(stage) export not working in rfeditpro

[jaysenbourn]

I am new here. i want to know how to load 3dt files that were exported by milkshape v1.8.4 to reality factory. i tried many times but rfeditpro crashes showing some errors. i also export my stage in .map format using blender but again reality factory crashes. Only this problem is preventing me to use reality factory. any

Milkshapes 3dt exporter does not work.
Load your ms3d file into Equity and build a .act file with it.
Read the RF manual to learn how to use the .act files.
Read the FREE ebook available from here: http://www.realityfactory.info/cms/inde ... umentation

You should definitely use the RF editor for building level geometry. That's what they are meant for. The Milkshape 3dt exporter only allows convex geometry to be exported correctly.
I don't know which format Blender exports to but there are probably half a dozen different formats using the .MAP file extension. If it's not the Quake 2 format you'll be out of luck.

berni thanks...
is .act file will work as stage. what i do is that i create stage in google sketchup and import in ms3d and then export in 3dt, and then i tried to load it reality factory. but loading in reality factory fails. reality factory will consider .act file as actor but i want to load a stage(map). if .act work as stage(environment) then problem solved, else other wise i have to find another way out...
