               Trying to merge haks and I have a few parts missing any texture. They look for a local file with a .max extension but I'm not finding this in the hak itself. Is there a certain way to extract these files that I'm overlooking?

               Nothing in NWN should EVER look for a .MAX file.  Something is definitely wrong in the .mdl files if there are sections looking for a .MAX file.  The .MAX extension is what is used by 3dsMax as a scene save file, it actually holds no real textures in it.

               Is the mention of the .max file on a line with "file dependency" or something like that?  If that's the case, it's...basically meaningless and can be disregarded.  It'll be within the first 7 or so lines in an ASCII file if you're going to see it at all.  If you see lines in the ASCII model which start with "texture" or "bitmap" and those have files with a .max extension...that would be puzzling and definitely incorrect as Bannor said.

               Just FYI, any line with a "#" on the front in a model file can be completely ignored. It's a comment, the equivalent of "//" in a C based language (eg nwscript).

               Oh, alright. I'll look for other reasons then for the texture not showing up. Good to know, thanks!
