Testing Ages

[PeteC]

How would one go about testing there own age?

Well, that depends on whether you're using Blender or 3dsmax. Blender produces the files directly for Uru, whereas with 3dsmax you need to use "The Art" tab of Drizzle to convert them after each export. In either case, you'll want to use the Offline-KI (which you can install through the UAM tab of Drizzle) to link to your Age once its files are in Uru, using "/link agename"

OK, I'll be using Blender. Let's Assume I create my age. Then what? How do I "attach" it to URU:ABM,TD and PotS so that it will open the age and how do I create an in game link to it (book, nexus link, etc.)?

You will have to install "Drizzle".
Then by the Drizzle You will install "Offline KI".

After that it just a matter of copying files to proper directories OF URU:CC:
- PRP and AGe files go to "dat"
- py files go to Python
- sound goes to "sfx"

New ages will be accesible though Nexus in "restoration links" (usually at the and of the list as "AGENAME (unknow age)").

If You got working version of an Age You can post it here, and it will be aded to UAM (probably by Old Wolle) to others enjoy.

Here's a link to the GoW's Wiki. It should answer all your questions on what you're asking:

There are also some tutorials on how to do Age Creation over here at the GoMa forum:

There are several things you have to download and install after installing Blender, and the Wiki should help you with that as it has links of where to download things.

How to get you Age into Uru:CC/POTS is explained too. Basically you need Drizzle and the OfflineKi. The OfflineKi will put a link to your Age in the Nexus (as long as you have put the files in the right place or if you want to look at someone else's Age, you can download it with the UAM part of Drizzle and it will put their files in the right places).
