http://files.ea.com/downloads/eagames/offi...E2_ModSDKv2.exe This is EA uber mod making pack. It should contain more than what you need. Its from EA so there should be no crap in it. I've never tried it myself. |

Hey yeah, if you get it and use it, let me know how it goes 'cause I just heard about it and have yet to try it myself....  I've been wondering what all it has and what the tools actually do. |

this doesn’t work. When i try to start the program W3D Viewer This comes up: This program Couldn’t start because 3ddx_27.dll Couldn’t be found this program may maybe work if you reinstall the program. I tried to reinstall the program 1 000 00 times but it didn’t work i know some things what can maybe be the problem: 1. this programs is for Lord of the Rings 2. it is maybe some wrong with the files  |

LOTR uses the exact same engine(and certain things) as Gens & ZH. So yes it was but it is also meant for C&C Gens. As for your errors I don't know sorry.

If you're interested in creating or modifying 3d models from the game, then GMax is a good FREE tool to use. I would also recommend getting the RenX plug in for it as well. There are many tutorials out there for this tool as it is no longer supported by the company that created it.

I use GmaX (RenX), but it doesn’t work. Here is a example: I make a box in (RenX) save it as an w3d file. then I delete the gattlingtank model with final big and put in my box instead. When I start the game and buy a gattlingtank the gates of the war factory opens but the tank is invisible I mean it is there it can shoot as usual but I cant see it. I have tried another thing I opened the original gattling tank and changed the gun bigger and the ''wheels'' but it is still invisible How can I make it visible in the game? So I can use it? |

Always save a copy of something that you think you will be deleting. The reason you dont see it is because you deleted the ACTUAL model that the game needs to build and then place the skin on. No model, no skin, no see! If you re-extract the original file and place it back where it went, you will see it once again. You have to name your new model with the same identical name that the game calls the old or original model. If it's called "GaTank01. w3d" then your new one has to have the same name. PLus chance are you will have to adjust your skin as well as things will not line up as usual.
