Been searching for a fair amount of time now, i cannot find any download links for 3dsmax 2010
can we do this possible?Quote:

its not possible, and fgunz also uses some external files that are required to start importing maps back and run them in a game. you have to ask someone who has 3dsmax2010+those plugins aswell as packer/unpackerQuote:

For the easy way you could use GTK radiant for maps, the cons are memory leaks, collision issues (hidden unwanted walls etc.), the pros are quick and fast maps like Skillmaps, requires less research and thinking to make a map work.
The other way is to model your whole map by hand in Blender or 3DSmax (2010), learn stuff about 3D modeling and go more indept on maps, this requires more time and effort obviously.
Lets say I want to eventually make maps like Town, Castle, Port etc, what way would you recommend?Quote:

I've been planning to make new maps for FG, unfortunately life keeps getting harder and I have less and less time by the day. PM me if you need help starting on GTK ;)
