with the release of the new down-loadable gnarshmallow, i figured out how to make custom grabs.

first off go to this link and download Gnarshmallow for your computer.

http://www.gnarshmallow.com/download.html

then download google sketchup 6.4.112, not the new sketchup 7, i cant get it to work with 7

Then download the skier sketchup model from Quaz's link

http://http://www.gnarshmallow.com/skiermodel.skp

from here you can edit it to the grab you like, here is mine i did

After you are done editing it, go to file / export / 3D model and save it as a "google earth 4 .kmz"

you will want to save it into the gnarshmallow / models folder under the name of a grab you would like to replace. I just change the mute grab because its first. You need to do this because you cant change the names in the actual code of the game as far as I know, so it will still have to call the correct name ( skiermodelmute) for it to do the new grab even though its a nose grab.

after you export it, you can go ahead and refresh the game and you should be good to go

as of now when i do the new grab, sometimes the Gnarsh changes to a different color and sometimes not, hopefully we will figure that out.

but there you go now you can go and make your own grabs, although sketchup isnt exactly easy to use.

here is the grab from the picture above in the .kmz file, ready to be put into the gnarshmallow / models folder, just replace the old mute file with this one, or change the name if you want it to replace some other grab

a big thanks to Quazbot for making this game down-loadable, for sure the sickest skiing game out there

 
nice nice now we jsut need to figure out how to edit the levels.

Btw do you other mods think this should be stickied?
 
when i have created a custom grab and exported sketchup as a .kmz the whole rider while in the position turns all PINK?

is this because i am using Sketch Up 7?
 
Sweeet! Great job figuring it out.

Yes, you need Sketchup 6 for editing skiers. You need Sketchup 7 for modifying the snowboarders though. I didn't realize the two version made different .kmz files until after I had added snowboarding. Sketchup 7 names the materials on the .dae inside differently than 6, so you get the pink default material if you use 7 for editing skiers since the game can't find the materials named like version 6 does.

blech

As for other colours being messed up (I guess you are seeing the orange jacket, green pants, pink skis instead of what the game picks for you), I'm still trying to figure that one out.
 
The Muffin Grab (similar to Pman's nose tweak grab):

when i play the game and do the grab nothing appears?

this grab wont show up even though i name it skiermodeljapan.kmz
i just disappear in the air???

 
apparently every .kmz file that has been uploaded to megaupload (such as Pman's and Reedskis' grabs) turn into .dae files when i download them. Am i doing something wrong?how can i fix this?THank you
 
works when i download it, the .dae is if you open it and extract it

when you download them, dont try and open them or anything, just save them to your desktop or something and then resave them into the gnarshmallow/ models folder the name of another grab you want to replace

 
If you could download the kmz file of the best sketchup in the "bang my rider" thread, could you replace skiermodel with that for a steezier little buddy?
 
this is seriously one of the coolest things that has happened to gnarshmallow im so stoked on all these grabs. but yeah if someone could upload one of the afterbang models that would be sooo dope
 
ok what am i doing wrong...im on a mac and when i download these files it automatically puts em in a folder on the desktop. i put replace the old grabs with the new ones, same name and everything but the skier is still invisible everytime i do it no matter if im in .kmz mode or .dae mode.....HELP!
 
^for some reason safari seems to make the kmz file into a dae
If you download it with firefox it will work perfectly though
 
I tried a superman, It ended up looking really retarded so i just quit...I wanna try a handdrag, that would be dopealso maybe a guitar grab... double grabs ftw!
 
sorry for the triple post

but my character keeps diasappeaing and it used to work and i havent changed anything that i am doing but it just wont work? :[
 
ya mine so far has just been disappearing but try to redo it and name it spread eagle people will still know what it is
 
HALP!!
i downloaded the sketch up thing from the thread body and it shows up on my computer in text edit with a whole shit load of codes and at the top it says "Õ!∏LÕ!This program cannot be run in DOS mode."
what does that mean and how do i change it and is it bad
+karmas and i am on a mac
 
CAN ANYONE MAKE A SCREAMIN SEAMEN??
that would be so dope instead of a spread eagle or possibly a steezy crouch for huge threes or switch 5s
SHIFTIES TOO
 
haha i like aking two different grabs so it looks like hes flapping his wings!!!

also if i make his skis bigger (pow skis) will it show up on the game

if so would that mean i can make a giant!
 
Has anyone got it to work with the skiermodel.kmz? i've tried making models in sketchup 6 and 7, exporting them as a google earth 4 kmz, and putting it in the moels section under the right nsame... m rider just disappears...
