I found this link for Blender:
http://projects.blender.org/frs/?group_id=95&release_id=367#torqueexporter-torque-dts-exporter-0-97-title-content
But the link seems to be dead. Does any one have prog that will allow me to import/export .dts files into blender

Would anyone have the software? I am currently working with Mack Fack and need the ability to work with DTS.
You said they no longer are updating the program, yet wouldn't or shouldn't i still be able to get it being a 1.2pro Lic owner.
possible download links in my account. Or is there a licensing issue with blender etc.

Ok thanks Bloodknight, Would anyone have the software? I am currently working with Mack Fack and need the ability to work with DTS.

The DTS exporter for Blender was done outside of the purview of Garagegames. If you do find a download link for J.Greenawalt's versions of the exporter (from a few years ago), the last commpatible version of Blender that the exporter worked with was 2.48-2.49 or so. Blender 2.5 and up you will be better off using collada.

With that mentioned, the exporter didn't let you import DTS shapes anyway. I was thinking that I had read that the MACK/FACK kits contained MS3D source files. Blender can/should import those.

Yes, the ACK product line contains a few flavours of 'source' files. Ms3d is one of them.

With collada you can rescale on import.

I hope it helps others. As stated by Michael Hall it may not work with 2.6 blender so keep that in mind.

Since Torque3D has the collada pipeline the exporter was made mostly redundant. That and the fact that the blender api was completely revamped in Blender 2.5 pretty much killed the exporter.
An importer was never made. Generating correct model data using the python api was quite error prone back in blender 2.4x. ;(

I mirrored some of the last code here: https://github.com/jamesu/torqueexporterSince Torque3D has the collada pipeline the exporter was made mostly redundant. That and the fact that the blender api was completely revamped in Blender 2.5 pretty much killed the exporter.
