importing maya files into ut2003

[rob_beddall]

hey!!
i have just bought unreal tournament 2003. i'm itching to get some meshes into my own level. not characters or anything that complicated yet. just static meshes. i have the latest update of the actor x plug-in. i can export as an .ase file. it shows up in the static mesh browser. it even shows up in the perspetive view port of UED. but i can't get it to be there in the actual game for the life of me. i can sometime get my man to collide with it but it's invisible. i have assigned it a texture from within the static mesh browser but it's still invisible in the game. i'm not changin' any attributes other than the texture. wot's goin' on?
are there ant tut's out there that cover maya imports?
i have only seen ones for max.
cheers!!
p.s whats the walkabout plug-in?
it came with the game( with maya personel learning edition, but i use maya 4.0 unlimited) i hope somebody can help.
cheers!!

open your eyes and put in cd3, everything you need is on that cd.
Youve allready installed maya from that cd, the rest is really easy, there should be a tut on the cd.
Have fun

PS: Don´t know what that plugin is sry

hey!!
i'll have a look on cd3. but as i said, i'm not using the maya that came with the game. i'm using my proper version.
maya PLE comes with a plug-in but i dunno how to get that to work with maya 4.0? andi can't transfer files from one version to another ( MayaPLE is impossible to work with coz of all the writing on the screen.) the tut on the cd says something about setting up my computer at the start( i'm not sure what this does,but i think it will make the plug-in work with MayaPLE, not good) and i'm guessing the plug-in might only transfer MayaPLE files and not MB's,MA's or OBJ files.
please , i need more help.
cheers!!
