Modifying games!

Hi how could i export a model that i made into a comercial game lets say …Battlefield 2 and have it work in the game say i made a vehicle how could i get it in the game so i could run up to it and drive it and whatever else?

is this possible …i hope it is…:smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

i think it’s not possible with blender but it’s possible with ogre because some one have Modifying tomb raider 4 with ogre…

Ok well i found thisa look at the it its from a post i found here gta san andreas modded with blender :smiley: now the questions is how not if :smiley:

i don’t know i think it’s a fake this photo.but i think there is a way to import models from games like gta battle field…

Find out about modding gta by doing some searches.

There must be a way?

I can send the link to the post were i found the pic (its on this website)

I don’t think they would even need to import that into blender, it looks like they just changed the textures of the clothes in the game, which can be easily done by opening up the texture with gimp and editing.

I know it’s possible with some games to change the models, and even add in some new ones, but I’m not very experienced with that sort of thing. What you could do is find out what what extension their models use, then see if blender can export to that file type, and try replacing one of their models with it (of course you should backup theirs in case it doesn’t work). If blender can’t export to their file type, but it can export to .obj, you might be able to find a program that changes a .obj file to one another game could use.

Good luck

yes, as facemania says, it would be easy to change the clothes textures. people change the textures of vehicals and buildings in halo 2 all of the time. but those people also use vehichals already in the game to mod other vehichals. for those of you familiar with halo2, this would be like changing the warthog to have the banshee’s properties like flying. if it is possible in blender, you couldnt do it in blender alone. check around some modding Q&A sites.

I was looking to mod Homeworld a while ago, but had trouble finding an open source program that exported .obj or .3ds to .peo. The only program that seems to do the job costs money.

Anyway, there should be a “Modding” section to the Battlefield forums.

Cool but how do i do all that?
like changing the texture and modding this allready there in the game?

Changing the texture?

If GTA: SA uses .big files, the best way to open them is with WinBig.

From there, use your photo-editing program to open the texture file.

Edit it.

Export or save your texture, pack another .big file, and start up GTA.

Not much detail, but that’s the basic idea.

Oh, here’s a game-specific guide I found.

Guide

I dont have gta on pc (i have it on ps2 tho) i want to modify BF 2

Stupid, stupid, stupid me.

The same principles apply to Battlefield 2.

Hold on a sec, and I’ll get a game-specific guide for you…

Here you are.
