MandeRek I talked to Rep. today on Xfire, his hands were full with good reason. Give him time and he will give you what you want.

Still working on it. I wrote new algorithms to import it. I'm also attacking the issue where it imports the same triangles twice. Now it iterates through the modl chunks. This will allow me to apply the properties of specific modl chunks to the coordinates. I'm also looking into a mesh edit program, that can extract and insert modl chunks, as well as transform the verticies of specific modl chunks.

Right now for this importer, I'm looking into: importing hp's, finding a way to import bones, importing cloth, and applying matrix transformations to the verticies in the specific modl chunks.

I think this importer is becoming better than 3DOC. It can now import cloth, and it imports the MODL chunks correctly. Sometimes when you open things in 3DOC, it looks weird (like if you open the tripod turret from hoth, the gun will be in the middle of the tripod). My importer uses the TRAN chunk to accurately import the model 8)

I also like using it to preview skins if I don't have time to get them ingame :wink: . Because they're all messed up in 3DOC.

Rep, you mean it inports cloth INCLUDING the properties? It is very sweet though!

It imports the individual chunks and cloth now? :shock: :faint:

So, I spent £10 on the 3D Object Converter only to find that your MSH converter is BETTER? :faint:

Well, it's only £10. :P Excellent job RepSharpShooter, your program will make a lot of modders happy. :)
