Note 2: this command line is the current working command line for grnreader98 v1.3.0.4.

Note 1: is the name of the GR2 model file you extracted. Open a command prompt, navigate to your new directory and type: This separate directory is probably going to hold quite a few files, so name it after the model.Р”В¬opy grnreader98.exe and your version of granny2.dll into this directory (for instance version 2.7.0.28 of Sacred 2 (US v2.43)).

graphics05.zip and put it in a separate directory. Step 1 - Extracting Stuff from a GR2 Model FileР”В®xtract a GR2 file from eg. an SMD import plugin or script for 3DSmax - I strongly advise using Cannonfodder's SMD plugins (link) for 3DSmax 6/7/8 Р”Р„t the end of this page (link), there's a Tools section with links to exporters. a granny2 export plugin for 3DSmax (I'm not gonna advertise any link about this plugin in this post) a version of 3DSmax which can properly import SMD files, preferrably 3DSmaРµСљвЂ /7/8 grnreader98 v1.4.0.3 debug (download it here (link)) It contains for instance a description of special settings for exporting a weapon as a GR2 file. If you want to edit or create a new weapon mesh, then go to that post. There's a separate part for weapons in the next post. After that you can attach the new roads to the parent dummy and export that back to KML.This tutorial is written for users of 3DSmaРµСљвЂ /7/8, but once you've got your model in 3DSmax it applies to all versions.Р”В«ecause this tutorial describes using grnreader, it is recommended to read the GR2 Decode Documentation before continuing. Draw the new road on top of the imported shapes and make sure they fit nicely. How do you get a shape from that model to the right location in google earth? You can draw some existing roads in google earth and save them as an kml. LetРІР‚в„ўs say you have to draw a map of a new road, but you already have a 3D model of that road. This data is stored in a KML map helper-parent to which all imported shapes have been linked. this helps when exporting the shapes back to a KML. Only use a custom offset if you know what youРІР‚в„ўre doing! The imported objects remember their offset. The script can calculate this offset itself, or you can input an offset. This is done to avoid large distances between the objects and the origin as 3ds max handles these distances badly. Pick a UTM zone to make sure your objects match their locations correctly ImportР”Р„fter converting the coordinates, the shapes are moved towards the origin in 3ds max. You can find this UTM-zone on a map provided with the script, or with an online resource. In those cases you can enter the UTM zone manually. This works fine except for a few edge cases. You can have the script calculate the UTM zone for you. This means you need to know the UTM-zone your map is in. These are calculated for a specific UTM-zone. UTM coordinates are coordinates on a flat plane. When importing a KML-file these coordinates need to be converted between lat/long and UTM. 3ds max uses an x/y coordinate system on a flat plane. These are angular coordinates on a globe. KML-files store geographical positions in latitude/latitude coordinates. I intend to add support for 3D geometry in a later stage. At the moment the KMLparser maxscript supports paths and polygons. Tilemill is one of them, as well as sketchup. You can load and save KML-files from google earth, but there are many more applications that support KML-files. They use it to store data in a geographical manner. The script lets you import and export geo-referenced KML-files Use shapes drawn in Google earth as a reference KML
