Several of you who have been using the Siege Editor program to create your own custom Dungeon Siege maps to play in the Microsoft Dungeon Siege game. And you've probably wondered how to import a 3D object from the game (like a sword) into Gmax so that you can change it. Here are instructions for doing that.
Instructions for loading this sword into GMAX.
=======================================
1) First, unpack the "objects.dres" (from your Dungeon Siege game directory) using the "Tank Viewer" program.
2) Then, install a special update of the SiegeMax program called "SIEGEMAX UPDATE 1.3". It's free. Use Google to find it. That version of SiegeMax allows you to import ".ASP files" (like this sword) from the unpacked objects.dres file from game.
3) Next, start SiegeMax (version 1.3 that you installed). Right click the screen and select "import" from the menu. Go to the directory where you unpacked your objects.dres file and load this file: "...\art\meshes\weapons\sword\m_w_swd_050.asp"
4) After it is loaded into the SiegeMax Gmax program, save it as a Gmax file.
