How to set up Gmax to run with X2 Editor

[khemeher]

So I have Gmax version 1.2, as well as DBOX2 version 1.3, and YAGG, as well as X2 Editor.

First question..I get a prompt to ask me which driver setup to use with Gmax...and I select 3D-max, but there's also OpenGL(?) and another one that starts with an H (I'd have to reinstall to give you the exact names)

I get everything running, and X2 Editor is working great, but when I go to select a file from V...Gmax keeps giving me an error.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Is there any information on setting all this up someplace?

Thanks in advance.

Update on this one:

Okay...it looks like what I needed to do was activate DBOX2 through the utilities menu in Gmax. This opens up an interface that allows me to import & view BOD files from the menu.

So I'm making progress here!!

I get 00940.bod open...and basically what I'm looking at is a 4-sided pyramid laid on its side. So apparently I have some learning to do about how to manipulate these files.

I'm going to do some rooting around, but I'm seeing that quite a few of the tutorial links are broken. Any hints as to where best I can go to educate myself?

Thanks again...sorry for being such a n00b
