How to make custom handheld item models (weapons, shields, etc.)

Wow! Thats some really good ideas Hey Scorpious2k would you mind posting a screenshot of all the coins on the floor? 150 ummm thats a lot of coins! :P I was wondering what that would look like in game.

The 150 coins are spread out over three large rooms and a hallway.... plus, they are small... and purple. The idea was to make it so the players have to look around. In these pictures, you'll notice coins even end up on top of things in the room.

Scorp: I'll try to touch base with you tonight -- I think you're doing it the hard way . If you click "File...Export...Export zone objects to .S3D" (not the normal export option) you shouldn't have to do the rename with S3DSpy. This export option only exports the objects, and only to the name you give it. I made it specifically to make exporting objects like weapons easier.

Just found it, and you're right.

But you did hide it on the bottom....

Tested this out today, and it doesn't work with the newest version of 3DStudio .3ds files sadly. On trying to export zone objects, I get the following error:

Address Violation at address xxxxxxx in module 'kernel32.dll'. Read of address xxxxxx.
