How to get Gmax BAT, Plugin Manager, and Lot Editor on Origin SC4?

I have a BAT i need to export, but I have figured out that I don't have BAT for Gmax on my new computer. I lost my CD copy of SC4 Deluxe, and was able to put the code from the CD case (which i still had) into origin and get a copy of SC4 that way. But origin being stupid like it is only includes the game and nothing else, so there is no way for me to install Lot Editor, Plugin Manger, or BAT for Gmax because EA restricts their installer to only work on the CD version of the game. 

 

Is there any way to still install the programs? I need to install them to be able to finish the BAT I am working on.

If it doesn't work out in the end, you can always e-mail the LODs to me and I can do the LOD rendering for you. But there should be a more durable solution so you can do it on your own...

 

You could try the PIM-X from SC4D as a plugin manager and lot editor. This will give you an easy way to give your model the right specs and a way to make it multi-lingual.

    I know i can use PIM-X to get by lot editor and plugin manager. Its gmax BAT that im having trouble getting.

     

    All I need is the gamepacks folder for gmax that would be installed by the tool. If someone could upload their gmax gamepacks folder for me (minus anything in the scenes folder because that would be their models) then i would be able to just add that into mine. I know there was a gmax version of BAT4Max that simfox made ages ago somewhere that would do the same thing, but i cant seem to find it.
