Well there is other programs such as Blender (an open source 3D editor) and Trimble Sketchup, which are free. But I'm currently using 3ds Max, and no I haven't payed for it incase you're wondering... I aren't rich. lol

But if you're downloading 3ds Max, make sure it's 3ds Max 8 with a keygen, not any newer version... 'cause the plugins won't work on newer versions.
 
ok is the plugings work with blender??

No, they don't. Nintendo made plugins only for 3ds max and maya. At the moment there isn't any plugin for blender...
 
i see. i have download autodesk and gonna start make a hack ;D

But before you do, you'll need the Nitro plugins for 3ds Max. 'Cause there's no other way of converting an .imd into an .nsbmd. The plugins should be included in a G3DCVTR package, which should be found searching Google.

As for the map editor, it's good that it has an import tool, but sadly it's only for Generation IV, if you're making a hack for Generation V, you'll have to extract the BMD0 manually with a hex editor, as well as importing the BMD0 manually once you've compiled the .imd using G3DCVTR.exe.
 
Spiky. Are you working on the update of this Awsome tool??
 
spiky hasent been on the forum for a while. Maybe he is worknig hard at the tool ^^ i hope so ^_^
 
Spiky if your still updating it is there any chance of a:

- Faster movement editor?

I improved the speed in the version that supports HGSS. It's now faster when saving, but do you mean to speed it up each time a map loads or when it saves? Because I've already done my best to make it as fast as possible.
 
Spiky still working. And i wanna know how its going with darkdiamond?? Any new maps to that awsome hack yet??

5 new maps have been added to DarkDiamond, but it happened when my tool didn't exist yet, so it was really hard work 'cause I made it manually. It's currently paused due to school and work on SDSME.

Pichu2000 helped me today and I managed to decrypt some text strings from Pokémon Diamond. Text hacking will come very soon... ;)
 
Oh, and here's my log might help on fixing this... :)

Spoiler:
 
How did you install the plugins on 3DS Max 8?
Ive tried and only got errors....

But for 3DS Max 6 you can install the plugins w/o problems.
Is there any solutions?
 
Hey, I've got a bit of an error to report.

While playing around with warps and trying to get them to work, I noticed something - editing warps in the Event Editor does nothing. Even after hitting the "Save Current" button, it doesn't actually save what you've edited. Once you close the window, the edit goes away completely, which can be seen clearly when you open up the event editor again. Hope you can get this fixed soon, but this tool's still amazing either way! :)

Well, when I first installed them on 3ds Max 8, I installed them in the same way as you do with 3ds Max 6. Remember to backup the IGame.dll before replacing it with the one in the Intelligent Systems IS-NITRO plugin kit. It displayed the "NINTENDO NITRO-System" option, but when exporting them as .imd or any file format... 3ds Max crashed, which I think might be my laptop issue.
 
Awsome spiky. i wanna se beta 3 of darkdiamond soon so i can test you´re maps You are the future of ds hacking buddy ^^

Spoiler:

What are you trying to do? Everything regarding external files should be working fine (apart from events, which I'm already fixing).
