Oh now I see it. I thought you were reffering to the trash can on the left. That teapot is hard to see.

Is anyone interested in the collectors room models? My mate ripped them and I thought to share it with Retro. I apologise if it's already done....

I personally wouldn't mind those models whatsoever and would quite appreciate them, even with their static-ness. :0

Because there's no uv mapping coords nor GIA applied to it... yet....

Here's a better import of that. I added my name to the model but I rotated it wrong. You can see the D in the 2nd screenshot.

EDIT: In other words, yes, you're getting your custom geometry ports... eventually...

YEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. What model format do you recommend? I start modeling today. I don't even give a fuck how limited it is right now.

Well my plan was to use Ogre meshes and materials(since they can be editted manually in a notepad). I would do 3ds BUT it has name limitations so nope. Besides, I can just load up an scene from Ogre in a pretty similar way to convert it to terrain.

There's OGRE exporters for all this software. Have fun picking one! (In case of Max I recommend using OgreMax, although the free version has some limitations). Just do your scene in your favourite 3D software and all you'll have to do is export it later.

It will be quite a while before you can import a full scene though. Gotta figure out grouping files(already got the spec), and most importantly I don't know about the terrain.terrain files. Also need a .material writer.... oh well, fun times ahead. At least I kind of know now the basic framework of most of their files.

Yeah, I might as well start today too! Having the ability to edit something like this will be amazing!

I know we're sitting here shamelessly befitting off your hard work (and I'd help if could, honest), but good luck with that, yeah? All of us look forward to your work!

Ha, thanks to Darkspines for doing some awesome research into all this, and here's hoping to a bit more.

Besides, the point of me making an editor is so you(in general) don't need to deal with any of this binary crap and can get right to modelling. I'm not that interested in creating a level on my own, I'm interested in creating the tools so it's possible for the rest.

Awesome, many thanks right back, then. : D

Someone needs to model a Sonic 3's Carnival Night Barrel and use it as a placeholder for EVERYTHING

Also, epic job on the importing!

Can't we just try ripping and converting the one used in Shadow the Hedgehog? It looks pretty much the same, dunnit? :B

[Dario FF]

If anyone wants to help there's a bunch of file formats added to the wiki page. They're not complete specs but it gives some layout at least to try to figure out what some of these values actually are. They use a sort of general file format with a common header and a final offset table which points to all offsets written in the file by order of appearance, so that makes stuff quite easier to figure out the structures.

I can't make heads or tails of that. Too bad, though, cause I would really love to be of some kind of assistance.

Speaking of which, what's the deal with these 3ds max scripts referenced everywhere throughout the thread? Particularly the one for animations. Has anything been released yet?
