It's possible to get milkshape exporter without buying the engin

#1 hehe , that would be like saying,,,i have a copy of tribes2 but i dont have a cd key ,is it posible ot get a key cuz i cant afoord to by t2. (just my thoughts)

i have no idea what gg will saay

#2 ive seen it for download on some peoples sites. Legal or not i dont know. search google and take a look.

#3 Well, the first rev of the exporter was freely available, near as I could tell.

I cna't see how releasing the exporter is any kind of violation of the license agreement. It's compiled code, so no source is out in the world, and it's a tool that can't be used without either torque or T2. If this is a problem, there are some dev teams out there who might be in toruble for hooking their modellers up with the exporter :)

If they say it's "ok" I will upload the DLL it to a public site and you can have at it.

That is, if maybe you'd think about dropping by the IRC channel, there is room for a modeller or 2 on some up and coming Torque games :)

#4 We want the exporters to be freely available so people can "mod" the demo when it comes out.

#5 So can we give this guy the exporter?

#6 I would take Jeff's reply as a yes.

#7 I figured as much, but it is oh so helpful if the letters Y E S appear next to his or Rick's name in a post :)

Dude, email me, I will hook you up, and once I see an approval, post the DLL on a site for mass consumption :)

#8 Ok!

I will wait for the decision!

my email is gschmitt@terra.com.br

Thanks!

#9 Hi...

Could someone post a link or email a copy to me? I'd greatly appreciate it! ;-)

Thanks,

#10 I suppose I should have asked this before I put anyone through the trouble of sending it... :-)

Is the Milkshape exporter still compatible with the T2 engine?

I keep coming up with an error. It's something to the effect of, "can not import dts-24 model. Must be version 23 or before."

The dts-viewer (the toned-down showtool?) CAN read it, however.

Ack! there must be a simpler way! ;-)

You can download it from our site... I don't know how old that version is though, sorry.

Check out the following message on where to find a recent compiled copy of the MilkShape exporter:

#13 Thanks for linking to that message. Very useful.

A related request which is hopefully not crossing the line would be for a model viewer. I would really appreciate some sort of simple viewer which allows you to see the model and animation in order to verify that models were exported correctly.

#14 Download the Realm Wars demo and call the exe with "-show", that launches the "model viewer" ...

#15 Thanks for that pointer. Unfortunately the download is pretty big and I only need the model viewer. Is there any way to provide a slimmer viewer? 25MB is alot for just viewing models, especially since I am dialup.

#16 Someone could probably cut out the realmwars art assets and probably even some of the scripts out of the package to reduce download size.

#17 And cut out sounds/music. The Realmwars download made reference to the inclusion of sound files but I couldn't find a version without sound available for download. I imagine that'll cut the download size a lot.
