Importing .ABC & .DTX files to .p3d

[Shaggy]

I have a really important question that will more or less tell me that "my MOD will be a failure"...or..."Your MOD will be Successful". ARgghhh Stressss :'(

I dont know how to convert .abc files and .dtx files into .p3d

I am trying to extract a model [.abc] and a model skin [.dtx]from AVP2 so i can use the "Predator" model in OFP. Is there a converter out there that anyone has made, it would be great if BiStudios has made an offical converter. I am sure there is one out there but I read a thread about converting it into an object file then building it back up again...it seems confusing and hard to understand. I dont need to edit the model in anyway all i need to do is import the model file into Oxygen then apply the correct skins to the model.

I am sure there is a way. I tried Maya 4.5PLE..importing, and save as. They dont work because O2 doesnt recognise the file. Any suggestions?

I really need help here..if any time i needed help..this is the important time of all!  :-\ please...help

You can't save as a p3d in any program except O2.
What you can do however is saving it as a .3DS file and import that into O2.
I don't know if Maya can open .abc and .dtx files, they seem like proprietary formats, but I think Milkshape 3D can open AvP and AvP2 models, and I know for a fact that it can save to .3DS format.
