Can anyone give me a bio2s script that will remove materials from all LODS of a model? I have a script that I have been cutting and pasting and experimenting with to do various things to a bunch of models but I can't seem to make that part work for some reason. I just need to remove all rvmats from all models in a folder full of models. Right now I have it adding named properties, but can't seem to get the syntax right for it to remove the materials. Thanks for your help. Mike

it would be for vbs2

Hi all, can someone tell me how to make a mirror? I've read through the developers reference and follow it pretty well but the examples are for a vehicle and for an object which uses a script. Is it possible to have a mirror or camera on an object but not use a script? I need to make a traffic mirror so that people can see themselves in it. Thanks for your help.

I can get my hands on an old version of O2, how would I go about it?

I can save as p3d old version it says. How would I do it if I did?

Hi All, is it possible to make a single texture from a model that has already been textured with many different textures? We're having performance issues and I think it is because our models have too many sections and textures. We have A BUNCH of p3d's that have been textured with many different tga and I'd like to merge them down to as few as possible to optimize them a bit. I was able to merge all the textures in texmerge but then when I "merge textures" in O2 with the ptm I make they don' t come out right because many of my textures are repeated along a single face and the one texture doesn't represent the entire area it covers. Does that make sense? It was originally textured with background mapping and other ways in .flt. Is it possible for part of a merged texture to repeat itself along a face or for me to "unwrap" my model so the textures represent the areas they cover? Does this make sense? Thanks for your help

I tried making those changes and its still not working.

thanks guys! I'll give that a shot and let you know how it turns out.

I am working with VBS2 but I can't get any to help over there so I thought I would try over here

Hi All, I'm pretty new to this and need some help making a sliding door on a building. The building has 8 regular rotating doors which I have working fine, but I can't get the sliding one to work. Can someone tell me what I need to do to my conifigs to get it to work? The door has a named selection barndoor in 1.0 LOD, Geometry LOD and Memory LOD. Also in memory LOD is barndoor_axis and barndoor_ap. My configs are pasted below.
