In a multiplayer level how can i set it up where the models to that level can come from a site? Example http://blah.blah.blah.org/Models.Model.MDL

I don't understand the question, sorry.. and the link's broken ... it doesn't work for me.
What do you want to achieve? do you want to have a multiplayer level in which the models are downloaded from a site in the internet? Or do you want to just get models form a site and put them in your level at developing time? Do you want to transfer models over the internet while the game is running?

the link was an example Germanunkol. I think he wants to load a model from a website instead of the local machine.

I realy don't know if this is possible at all.

Ah, right... I have no idea either... Never done it, sorry...:(

Yes, it was just an example. Well Thanks for the info.

This is actually very simple I did this awhile back for in-game dynamic adds… you’ll need to use Peacekeepers gshttp.dll though, it works with the latest version of A6 you can find it here http://www.peacekeeper.com/3dgs/http.html you’ll need to place it in your “acknex_plugins” directory once you’ve got it in there you can take a look at this small demo I put together… “Pink Elephant” (the plug-in is also inculded it the demo zip) The demo explains how downloaded content in game is done (During play), It’s fairly well commented as is gshttp.wdl. Ok I admit it I really just wanted to make a demo called “Pink Elephant” any way I hope this helps, here is a cheesy demo shot and link to the demo it's slef.



Pink Elephant

The controls are:
Hold Right mouse button + move mouse, to look around
Hit the “G” key to download the content form the Ironbound studios site and replace the dummy object in the level. Have fun…

Ps. I’ll leave the demo and test content up on the site for as long as it’s relevant

Cheers

I Downloaded Went To The Site And Got The Plugins But Now I Get A ERROR Stating installsion incomplete when i try to run the demo.

Hey GDOG340
A few questions may help to solve the problem…
Did you place the gshttp.dll in your “acknex_plugins” directory? (Very important the demo will not run other wise) simply leaving it in the demo directory won’t do it.
Where is the error being generated is it generated on loading the level, or running the level?
Which version of A6 are you running? (This can make a huge difference) I’m using A6.4 Commercial.

Ps. Anyone else having trouble with this demo let me know…

Cheers

Ok me and Raiden just sat down and went though the code and realized that the demo folder must be in your 3DGS root folder (so where ever you installed A6) it must reside there until you publish the project, at which point you’ll need to copy the .DLL to your published folder. You will also need to create the folder "downloaded_content" in your published folder. And last but not least, see the comments in the script about setting paths before publishing… This has all been tested and works. I also fixed two small script errors in the published dir structure, and re-uploaded the file over the old one so just download it again for the fixed version.

Cheers
