Gen. Lee Annoying Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Is truespace 3.2 compatible with Drop Team? Considering it supports .cob files and is free it would be a great alternative to dropping large amounts of cash for us modders on a limited budget. If it is useable are there any limitations? On a side note, do the collision triangles in the object file have to be manually generated or is there a way of having them automatically populate?

ClaytoniousRex Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I think the .cob file format exported by Truespace 3.2 is quite obsolete and therefore won't load into DropTeam, but I haven't tried. DropTeam is able to load other models formats, too, though, and we'll be turning that external model import feature back on in an upcoming release. This means you could export from 3.2 as .3ds or .obj, for example, and then load those into DropTeam as models. In this case, you might even prefer to use something like Blender instead of an old version of Truespace. We'll let you know when that option is open to you. Yes, we have a tool to generate collision triangles which we would happy to share with anyone who wants it. It reads a .cob file and dumps out the xml for its triangles.

yurch Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I could certainly use the cob->xml thing, especially if I ever learned to model worth a damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
