Hi Chaps

Somewhat confused....this is the only place i can start a new topic. I was wanting to post a new thread in Mod Tools/Tutorials but am not given the option...or indeed anywhere else.

Basically i was hoping to get some help with either obtaining the IL2 Exporter (for 3Ds Max) or help in contacting the admins at AAS (so i can get my registration activated - after months of having my e-mails sent back by the mailer daemon - and d/l the Importer). I'm trapped in a Catch-22 here and its driving me nuts!

Also, my password didn't work and had to re-new it...should i be worried about security?

Any help or advice would be appreciated

Cheers

Okay, i can not fully understand your goals, your aim.
I can not be of much more assistance, but let me clarify this:

1 -in the SAS Mod Tools/Tutorials section you want to open a thread.
2- you can not properly register at AAS, the people you are writing there are not reachable via e-mail.
3- your personal goal of all these actions is "the IL-2 exporter" or "exporting a file to IL-2"

I hope this is right, and we can find
- am admin from the AAS site here
- a way to say something in mods-tutorials section

Yep  spot on, on all counts HunderzehnGustav, thanks for the reply.

 I could've been a bit (alot) clearer....was leaving for a train so i scribbled out that rather sketchy post without much heed to clarity!

I been making buildings in 3ds Max as per KevinP's tutorials, as well as building (hopefully) progressively better LOD 0 plane models in order to learn both 3ds Max modelling techniques and IL2 a/c modelling disciplines and rules. I'm a way off wanting to get things in-game with the plane modelling (tricky stuff, aint it?), but i'd like to be able to import my buildings onto a custom map i'm constructing. Hence the 'Buggy Buggy IL-2 Exporter' which KevinP recommends and everyone seems to use.

Problem is, the only place i can find this MaxScript is at AAS, which i can't get an active account at.
I registered in Oct/Nov last year, and recieved an email saying "thanks for your registration - you will recieve another e-mail to enable you to activate your account."
This e-mail never came...so i've repeatedly tried to mail them back with the address they provided on the original correspondence, but all my e-mails just get booted back to me. I can't contact an admin thru the site because i have to log in with an active account to do so! It doesn't even recognise my existing password for my inactive account. Its like the ultimate Catch 22.

So i was going to post a request for the tool in the mods tutorial section, but found i couldn't post a new topic anywhere on the site but here.

Any solutions to any of the above would be fantastic!

Cheers

I've got the same problem with AAS so I'm interested to see if you get in touch with them.  Good luck!

I believe a number of 3d guys here would have that. I just cannto think of any now, but look around the site and give someone a PM and ask. mmmm, this sound like something modding monkey would have at hand. Look him up, PM him and tell him I sent u.

[TedStryker]

Thanks CirX, thats great!

(I just put up an agonised post in another thread...then saw this reply and quickly deleted it!!)  Cheers.

Is the Maraz Importer consider a better tool? Doing alot of reading around the community it seems that many people prefer using it over Buggy Buggy....

[TedStryker]

Ah brilliant!! Thanks for the heads up ton414, great, great news.
