Hey, I though of something: Since some of you are using Lightwave (I don't have it), I probably could programm a function to export models to LWO format in Ultima.

But to do that, someone better explain me how the LWO fomrat is build. Or is there any documentation on the web?

Is the LWO format not too complex? ...because if so I could put that into Ifalna.

After all I DID say I'd put a model exporter into Ifalna, I just need to choose a format.

Hmm. Maybe MS3D would be a better choice...I actually HAVE MS3D to test my output with...

Not that any of this will be happening way soon, I'm far far too busy right now will all sorts of stuff in uni/the union.
 
Don't be too happy now...hehe, I've got some problem iwth the values: VB supports only Signed Intel Values... so I've got to convert 'em to Unsigned Motorola values... whoo!

But I'm workin' on that...

fice: LWO is not more complex than other 3d files. If you need any help with it...
 
Fice: If you want to export to LWO, visit SaiNt's links - great info.

GOOD NEWS: The converter's made. You can d/l it from my page... :smile:

He's right. It's broken. But thanks! Are you going to put this into the next version of Ultima? (Assuming it works.)

Also, what format are you compatible with? 5.6 or 6.5? (It makes a difference. The LWO exporter from Milkshape's never worked, but the 6.5 exporter does work.)

Alhexx: Lwo converter is fine, but there are no colors on model.

Im trying to create some windows interface to my converter, then Ill post it on my page, probably this evening.
 
Yes, I know. I've deisabled that function b'cause it doesn't work... and I've got no idea how to create that fucntion. But it at least creates 'colour groups', that should make work easier...

Hey Alhexx: Your converter works fine... So long as I only using Milkshape.

In both 6.5 and 5.5 of Lightwave, I get errors saying it can't read the file. (It's way of saying "Unknown file type".)

Check your email. I've sent you something that should help you with your coding. :wink:

As for the format: I know - I was just checking the file created by my Converter and the milkshape files - the same...

As for the mail: Received it. I'll work on that the next few days... :smile:
...it seems to be your lucky day...

Hey, Seph3D: If that's something helpful 'bout writing LWO files ... I could do with a copy ... I do need to put model exports into Ifalna sometime ...
 
K. I'll mail you the same thing.
