.3ds or .max with opengl

I’m making a program using c++ with opengl. I’ve created models in 3ds max and I need to load them into my program.
HOW ???

Wont it be easier to just convert the .3ds file into a .x file using the conversion utility that comes with dx8 sdk ? U then have access to all aspects of the mesh and animation from within yr s/w without any long winded coding. Of course, extensive doccumentation on 3ds file format is available form www.wotsit.org, complete with code samples … Must admit, when DX8 was released … I trashed all my opengl work, and converted
to DX8 … never looked back.
Best regards

Suggest Two Player Games for PS2

can anyone suggest me Two-Player Games for PS2
with a short description.

each suggestion will be graded with 25 pts- a-graded

TEKKEN TAG (not tekken3 or tekken2 or tekken 4)
- fighting . nice grafix and not boring for a multiplayer.

Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven

This has a nice two-player version which allows the two players to compete head to head or cooperate in missions and the single player game isnt too shabby either.

The graphics are very good, and the game engine is excellent. There is an emphasis on stealth (duh, you play ninja ;)) in combat. It has excellent replay value for both one and two players.

What kinds of games are you looking for?

Run games in window mode

I have alot of games that run in fullscreen mode.
Is it possible to change the settings or something like that to make them run in window mode everytime I play?

Donkadelics,

Many games have a command line flag which sets the game to run in window mode. What you need to do is change the command line for the shortcut so that it includes this flag (right click the shortcut, properties)

eg. (these are made up because I can’t remember the real ones)
Original command line: “C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe”
Command line for windowed mode: “C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WoW.exe -window”

However the flag for each game will be different. I suggest you post on each game’s community message boards and ask what the specific flag for that game is.

cd key lost

ihave lost my cd key so i cant install diablo 2 a friend said i could get one of the net were can i find one

Send your D2 cd to blizzard and they will send you a new CD with a new cdkey.

See http://www.battle.net/support

Maybe try calling the phone number in the game manual or emailing support@blizzard.com would help. Those folks at Blizzard are actually nice people (I know from experience). If you also lost your CD set, they also accept a game manual, cd case or a game box, but it’s a good idea to phone ahead in advance.

Also the EE moderators might not like you too much after such a post. It might not be your fault if you lost your key, but don’t talk about it here if you value your account.
