While games like Battlefield export from the modeling app. to a binary format for the engine, this doesn't allow the artist to make manual edits before conversion, which reduce turn around time when trying to fix problems.

Besides, the model format can be used in other ways like promotional material.

If it would still blow apart like it does now.

Some ascii format used in 3D studio max or Maya would be good.

If you did that i would like to be able to use long names although the 3DE exporter can't use them, we would need a better exporter.

Quite a bit yes.

Could make a texture override pack for the models if Ken added code similar to what Tug and I did in BzE. In the odf i override the models default skin with these: baseName = "avfigh" TextureLod1 = "bvraz00.map" //Lod1 = Main object skin TextureLod2 = "avcpit01.map" //L...

"Nielk1's 'More Red' (than stock) Version"

Are you going to be making any tools with the Bz formats now?

These all look good, the more red fighter i wonder how a white star would look on the top fin.

Ssuser, place the custom units in a build odf, just like the single player mission used. Also you may want to look at the missions i manually scripted. http://www.battlezoneclub.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=3541 Yikes, "download a toolbar to register/view the post", i don't know why ...

I made some of the tables but they are a real pita.

He did the DPI Awear thing long ago, i didn't see it work though.
The ingame text is what needs scaled, i tested sprites 1.5x height, it didn't look so good.

Could the localization stuff all be in the same version if the "names0*.map" are nolonger needed?
The ingame text is currently sprites, if changed, would the text scale with the resolution?

Could always have people contact you over team speak 3 before you let them in the game.

apollo, how/why do you have access to the code? Dx/Apollo has had access to the BZ 1.3 source code for years. It's what BZE is based on. Infact there are two versions of the Bz engine, the first came from Ken and was incomplete (working copy between 1.1 - 1.3 about 9 files missing, no network updat...

Ken can correct me if i'm wrong but i see very little MW2 code and most of it is disabled, the I76 code is more of the engine with the renderer, sound code, part of the loader, game related code and network replaced. This is not complete but as for I76 it's mostly engine code, and not much of the ga...

I had the impression that the program had a long way to go before it could be usefull, i don't recall the name of it.
I found it by searching google for reverse engineering programs. But that was many years ago, could be a much better version by now.

I used a program to to reverse engineer TRO, it produced C++ code but nothing like the original code nor was it usable.
