Need help converting Models

[Karimloo 10]

I have some models I need to convert.

FIRST OFF, They are Call of Duty Models, and they don't need permission, at FacePunch they were free to download and only can be used as individual self purpose mods. I am not going to upload them or profit off them, and you have mister Clawhammer, a senior member to thank for giving me the link to the models and a step by step procedure to help me convert them into pbo's.

I like the models and I hate Call of Duty, so I want them in a better game, ARMA II. There are no legal issues, there isn't anything wrong with using them, because people are already using them for their own purposes and for many other games which they DO upload them like Counter Strike.

Now on to business, I am trying to convert the models from their respective folders 'models' and 'materials' both confuse me.

I tried opening them, but received an error, I tried importing them, same result. How do I get them into 3d Studio max and turn them into Oxygen 2 friendly files?

Also, what right do you have to use Star Wars or Generation Kill property, or Star Gate property?

You are not giving enough information to receive an answer:

1. What are the formats of your models you want to convert?

2. What are the formats of your materials files?

I can't answer how you can import them in 3DS Max. You can export FROM 3d max as OBJ or 3DS, both files can be imported in O2.

Also, what right do you have to use Star Wars or Generation Kill property, or Star Gate property?

who is YOU in your sentance?

Why are you asking about permission and property rights regarding SG, SW or Generation Kill on those forums in the first place?

I would contact MGM, Lucas Arts and HBO for that answer....

Well, there isn't a difference between taking the concepts from Lucas Arts without permission to taking the models from Call of Duty.

I should be in the clear because I want to use it for myself for fun. They are uploading their mods for free, making it possible to play those licenses for free without a Lucas Arts publisher.

I don't get why they are allowed to do so, but I'm not allowed to use those models for myself.

And all I ask is a step by step guide or some help.

The Call of Duty folder contains 2 sub folders called 'Materials' and 'models' which are easily put into Counter Strike.

But I don't know how to get them into 3D Max, maybe I need a mdl plugin? That's what someone told me to do. And Clawhammer told me I may need a mdl plugin.

If this Flashpoint model can be use in ArmA 2 CO/OA....? is there a way to get done for Arma 2..? thanks for your time....

#1 - Pretty sure this is necrophilia

#2 - Not a request thread

#3 - I'm pretty sure from how defensive the OP was that what he wants is illegal so the thread should probably be closed anyways

Oh, just so ya know, if that model is a part of the BWMod it can't be converted without their permission, and I seriously doubt the BWMod will give you the MLODs for it. Just give it up with the Gepard already man...

Contact the BWMod team who originally made the addon and ask for both the MLOD model and permission to convert it.

Once you have the MLOD model you can start converting it to ArmA2.

It is not possible to convert binarized models and make them usable in ArmA2. Not for public use and not for "private use".
