Ran a test, using the free extractor I extracted a model from a mod file. Used the free version of milkshape to load the wave file and save as milkshape (ms3d) file and was able to load it. This uses thing suggested on the sfc mod site

I'm hoping he means that he has an SFC model in his environment and it isn't crashing.

in the test yes.

I have verified we will use ms3d file format for models so can be easily modded.

Even so, it's a start.

Again, we still don't have a way to move these things.

[UFP]Exeter · « **Reply #267 on:** July 09, 2014, 06:17:27 pm »

yes, pretty much but the model I used was a stock EAW model. Also the textures can be an issue a I am set to only have 9 per model.

OK, we'll go over this in more detail tonight. We have a meeting in less than two hours. Once we find out just what is going on people can get their marching orders.

Ok, cool Adam thanks.

Meeting agenda tonight:

Misc business

UI transfer and replication - We are going to discuss how Exeter is going to go about translating/transposing EAW/OP UI's into our game. We cant' say the skins are going to be in there at first since we don't have access to the sprites file on that level. More on that to come. We may need artists.

We decided not to make it a big meeting since the NDA's weren't sorted yet and we made the meeting date before issuing them. Besides, it really is just boring organizational crap and there isn't much need for serious input until we have something to test on that level.

Adam,
What format are your models in?

We can use the mod format, same format for all sfc versions.

I remember the lead artist from Taldren was on this site about a year ago. Any chance of us getting a hold of him and that he still has anything we can use?

On the models.
We cannot read the mod file but we cn extract and convert it.
Using the Starfleet Command Model Editing Utility (SCME) (http://www.staryards.com/tools.htm)we can run it on the mod file, it creates light wave files of the mesh (.lw)
MilkShape will open the lightwave file an save the open model as the standard milkshpe (ms3d), and the program will open the mesh. This does noting with the bitmaps.We can also use a milkshape generated model.

I hope this helps clarify.

[UFP]Exeter · « **Reply #278 on:** July 09, 2014, 10:48:04 pm »

I need to check but I think the meshes have a 9 texture file limit, Hard coded.

[UFP]Exeter · « **Reply #279 on:** July 09, 2014, 10:58:38 pm »

I was wrong, the limit on bitmaps is well over 10, about 32000
