You can't just convert them. They aren't the same type of files. Thats like asking to convert .xls into .avi

stop, you need to get some programs to unpack the .wad and .mas, so you can export single objects/textures from either wad or mas, and then convert it to a format that the other game accepts, import to the wad/mas you want, and then reload your game with that edited file

Lots. A GP4 WAD tool, Z-Modeler, the GP4 import tool, a Tex-TGA conversion tool, notepad, Photoshop, a DDS import tool, 3D Studio Max 8 or lower, the ISI export tools, the ISI MAS Editor tool. You'll also need to be fluent in these.

Here are about the programs.

A GP4 WAD tool: I have got WadUpdater and EasyWad
ZModeler: I have got that
GP4 Import tool: Where can you get that from and is it free?
Tex-TGA conversion tool: I have got TexResizer and SlimTex
Notepad: You know I have got that!!!
Photoshop: Don't need that. I've got GIMP.
A DDS import tool: SlimTex can actually import them
3D Studio Max: Can you use something that is free?
ISI MAS Editor: Where can you get that from and is it free?

You can see that I only need GP4 Import tool, A program like 3D Studio Max and ISI MAS Editor.

Answer all the questions above about the programs I haven't got please.

I just want to know, if there is a filter to ZModeler or 3DSMax to open .gmt files?

I've found everything, just tried to import a .gmt file to 3dsmax, but I got an error message:

-- Type error: Call needs function or class, got: undefined

Can anyone help me with the solution?

Thx in advice, nhorry

Major bump!!!

After more than 5 years, I'm in the conversation scene again...

Just one question: how to split an object in Zmodeler 1.07? I want to make a decent damage model...

Thank you, and Happy New Year, of course! (D)
