Is it possible to create a model in gmax and then export is so that only the edges showup ingame?

Yes it is. You will need to Apply the UVW map modifier and Use faltten mesh. Use a plug-in called Texporter:

Apply your texture. I'm not sure if texporter works with Gmax. There are also more complex ways of doing your unwrap. Using flatten mesh is really just a quick way to test it out. Look around for a UVW unwrap tutorial.

It's possible to turn the entire game into wireframe.

The HUD elements are all (partly textured) triangles rendered with orthographic projection.

Wireframe doesn't really increase the FPS. But turning texture rendering off does.

No, it doesn't work with Gmax, I tried it a long time ago when I first got texporter. This still isn't what he's wanting to do, he wants just the wireframe of the models to show up, making a UVW map with just the lines still has the polygons showing up.

Found a screenshot of the no-material stuff. Too bad you can't tell what the FPS is since it doesn't render the letter textures. But it should be above 100 FPS considering that the first 4 boxes are "FPS =" then a small one which should be 1, another 2 numbers, the comma and then the kbps display.

yeah, like wireframe, but only for particular models, will flatten mash work for tht? kinda like hiding the polygons themselves but showing the edges? if it cant be done guess I will have to make the model with .001 length polys or something, lol

btw, I have exported as wireframe before....completely by accident though Laughing

I thought he meant a sort of cell shading effect. I meant more as texture over some of the edges in the triangles and not the main ones outlining parts.
