Yes, please wait for the general organizational meeting. Many, if not all, questions will be answered there and you will be able to ask questions in real time.

Darkdrone was doing conversions from other games a few weeks ago. What is involved with converting formats anyway?
A program that can read the existing format then convert it.

Does anyone know what format was used? I know many AAA titles used 3ds and changed the filetype or added a header.

There are tons of free programs that convert video and audio formats (much less aggressive formats I realize). Isn't there one that would just let you read the file type and convert it to others without having the ability to render/edit anything, but then allows you to use the program you like to manipulate it? I'd do a search for one, but I don't know what to look for.

Ask in the modelling forum? Those guys gotta know.

No we're asking what format the SFC models are in so we can convert them to a useable format for Exeter. He listed the available formats he can use.

I do not care what we use. A format already supported by the program will be good.

Do we know what SFC2 used and have samples?

Yeah, just look in the Assets/models directory.

I don't think that helps. In my models folder it shows them as MPEGs.

yes mod is the model format, the modelers hopefully know about it, and the bmp files for textures.

Corbomite · « **Reply #250 on:** July 09, 2014, 04:02:42 pm »

But the question is will that format run in your engine right now?

Another question - what program were the modelers using to get the final product into the .mod format?

[UFP]Exeter · « **Reply #253 on:** July 09, 2014, 04:08:28 pm »

there is a free utility, that reads lightwave models to put them in the mod format. And milkshape reads and writes lightwave. And I can read and write lightwave format directly.

Between the last two posts its seems we might have this models thing licked, at least in theory. Go with that and find out what we can do.

Captain Adam · « **Reply #256 on:** July 09, 2014, 04:19:50 pm »

Corbomite · « **Reply #257 on:** July 09, 2014, 04:24:27 pm »

Right now just concentrate on getting ONE model converted/working and then worry about bulk conversion.

Ok so the only question needing a response is what format Exeter thinks is the best for the engine. Once that's answered I have to see whether it is possible to convert it and if it's possible.

As Ambassador Molari would say "I believe you have the problem surrounded."
