    Still i can not find a solution for my problem. Can be a reason something of this information from viewer: "Bad UV0 range U=(-0,1;1,0) V=(0,0;1,0). Ligthmap required. Normalmap required. Ligthmap required. Bad UV0 range U=(-0,1;1,0) V=(0,0;1,0)." And i do have lightmap and normal map.

    had a look at it and fixed some minor stuff, no idea why it crashed your game... you got a log?
    however, you need to recreate your layout file, and colors of l4 look a bit weird

    awesome building and nice work (y)

    here the fixed stuff: fontanka110.rar
    changes i made:
    - created a 2nd uv channel and a lightmap for l3
    - changed shaders to building enhanced (not necessary, but looks better :D )
    - fixed pivot point of l4
    - uhm, i guess thats it^^

    oh and i removed filter tags from class file so i can test it (xl2012) also had to rename .max file since my english version refuses to load russian letters...^^

    Nice, but why trees are placed in such a weird place in that picture? Or you haven't touched layout at all and left it for Immortal?

    Thank's a lot mr X2 for your helping!!! your sgbin file works very well! I didn't created a layout file at all for this mod yet, just took it from my privious mod. But what a f....!!! when i make a sgbin file from the max scene u send me and put it into your data folder it crashes game again. Guess there something wrong with my cxl viewer or autodesk or ....

    Because i still can't find what's wrong with my viewer, can someone be so kind to convert my max scene to sgbin file. here is my 3d max scene fontanka 110-01.rar
    I've just
    - edit a pivot point for lod 3, it was different from other
    - extrude some windows
    - and it makes me to make a new light map for lod 1

    Strangely, I can't export it too. It needs some rework, I could look deeper into if I have time.
    L1 has smoothing problems and L3 is weirdly transparent.
    + I see you could save some triangle count by welding some excesive vertices

    l3 transparency is a viewport bug, nothing to worry about
    only strange thing is, that its not going away (as it usualy does) when restarting max.. however, viewer looks fine
    did not test ingame this time :sleep:

    Hm, o don't have any weird transparent in my 3D max. I'll check out sgbin in a game. I have to make a welding neither the light map has a weird and too much dark shadows.

    Yes, but IMO, model is still unfinished, you should polish it more. To be high qulity mod.

    I don't know what I have to do and how, my knowledge in 3d max is too elementary

    I can fix your model wrong smoothing, improve lightmap and L4 texture maybe. But won't touch vertices and poly optimization, because re-unwrap uvw will be needed
