[Tutorial] Convert Penumbra Models to Amnesia

[Acies]

i dont quite understand the steps; it's not your broken english its just that the steps aren't all that clear. Can someone please run me through each and every single step, like every move of files and every tiny thing? please be detailed.

Steps:
1. Copy the files of the model from penumbra. The "model.dae" is the model. Any pictures "model.dds" or "model.tga" are the texture files. These files is what the model is "clad in", ergo the textures give the model its appearance. If the model is namned "desk", you should create a folder for it which is namned "desk" as well. The texture files will be namned "desk.dds"(diffuse map), "desk_nrm.dds"(normal map) and "desk_spec.dds" specular map.

2. Now you should open the material editor, which is found in your amnesia directory. This material editor creates ".mat" files - which are basically a reference for the model of where to find the texture files. In the material editor you are going to create a new .mat file for your model. The process is quite simple. All you need to do is to reference the respective texture files. I have given you the names of the texture files in the above text (see end of step 1). Opening the .mat file of an already finished model can help out, since you can also set the textures as decals. However the mat file of a model has the correct settings. Once edited simply choose "save as" and you will not overwrite the default .mat file.

3. Open ModelEditor which is located in the amnesia directory. Here you need to create a "shape" for the model. It is basically a cube covering the model and what it does is to make it impassable. Without this cube you would be able to walk straight through the model. Then save the .ent file. You can also customize it further by editing "the type" of entity it is. Located under something "user variables" (i don't quite remember).

The whole process is quite simple and you could probably master it in under the hour. Good luck to you willochill and thank you Everlone for providing the tutorial!
