You would need to be a bit more clear on your problem. It's difficult trying to understand what you're writing.

Hi guys! I recently learned how to edit models and export them with RenX! But I have a problem with the characters. When I replaced the Kane model with my own model, his weapon appears with a low resolution. I noticed this is for the LOD of the character. I would like to know how to change the LOD so the character appears in-game correctly. Any ideas?

i means that every c_ag w3d character file in renegade is linked to 4 models whit diferents levels of cuality this tell the game what model to display whit the current performance setings, i want to know how to export my model or change the LOD (performance seting that the game read from the model) so the game reads it has high performance, that way the weapon it will appear has a high performance to.

I want to know how to export my model or change the LOD so the game reads it as being a high performance model (e.g. high quality/higher poly) so that the weapon will appear as a high quality weapon too (instead of low poly).

The LOD level is determined by the number of polygons currently in view. If your model has a HUGE number of polygons it will force everything else to use lower LOD levels to bring the poly count back within budget. There are no settings you can change on the model itself to influence this.

How many polygons are in your character model?

As I recall the polygon budget is about 40,000 polys, so it doesn't look like that's the problem your having. A screenshot of the problem might help someone figure out whats wrong perhaps?

Di3hard has it released... he made it. Go look in the mod release forum for it. Or, you can go to a lot of sites for skins, as they may have it.

The LOD Registry setting is set to 10,000 by default I think. Not actually sure what this setting does since I never actually messed with it before. Someone like saberhawk should be able to shed more light on the subject.

The poly count of the cyborg is 3,492. As long as the character or weapon is not setup for lod then it shouldn't even matter what the poly count is not sure though.

Things for you to try.
Try mess with that lod setting.
Try using my laser chain gun model has no lod.
Try lowering the poly count of the model.

EDIT: I just look at your screen shot and thought it said 11,000 but never mind lol. It defiantly doesn't have to do with the poly count.

Take a screen shot of your object list. The list that pops up when you press h in renx. Have the display subtree box checked. It doesn't look like your character is setup correctly based off your first screen shot.
