I have no idea how the BSP trees for WCP/SO capships and corvettes work, or how they are built. Sorry. :( However, BSP tree construction is on the roadmap for future Wing Blender versions. And if there's anyone willing/able to help me with that, then great!

To clarify: Option 1... Sets the child object CNTR to 0,0,0. Generates a hardpoint at its origin position, relative to its parent. Does not modify its origin position. And option 2... Sets the child object CNTR as the vector between the child object's original origin point and the hardpoint...

Since this came up, I figured I should come up with some way of exporting child objects in a way that makes it easy to attach them as child objects, EPODs, or special addons like the wasp's booster pack So, how would you like me to go about implementing this? Each object that is a child of the...

Yes, Wing Blender automatically calculates the collision sphere if you don't have a "collsphr" empty object in your scene. However, there is a collision sphere form/chunk in the original pant_pod.iff. The Panther model seems to be off-center for some reason, according to the mini VDU display...

FPSRussia as Jason Bondarevsky. :)

Modder-Senpai has noticed you. You're welcome. :)

Are you using the "Rearrange Colourmap" (Colors->Map->Rearrange Colourmap) tool? If so, I have no idea why it's screwing up your texture. It works just fine for me, and doesn't result in any visual corruption. Most fan projects embed the original palette into their MAT files. Also, in most...

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. You can take a look at the BMP file's internal palette in your image editing program (GIMP, Photoshop, etc.). To compare it with a PAL file, you'd need to convert a MAT that uses said PAL file into BMP format, and look at the palettes of both images as they...

You're welcome. ;) If your MAT doesn't have an alpha (transparency) channel/ALPH chunk, the colour at index 0 of the MAT palette/CMAP is transparent by default. Standoff takes advantage of this by using the colour at index 0 as metadata so that the game can locate the respective specular map...

The exporter handles smooth groups as you'd expect. If you use the exported mesh ingame, the smooth groups should be intact. You can mix smooth and flat faces on the same mesh. The importer doesn't detect smooth/flat faces right now, unfortunately. You'll have to re-do the smoothing yourself.

You can run TREMAN in DOSBox if you have CWSDPMI.EXE in the same directory... EDIT: Updated link because the official site is dead. :(

No, it doesn't. With the current version of Wing Blender (1.6 ATM), if you parent an object to one of your LOD meshes, it won't get exported along with the parent mesh. I can try to add child object exporting as a new feature if you'd like.

There are some ships for WCP/SO (mostly WC3/WC4 ships) available here: https://www.wcnews.com/ships.shtml Killerwave has a bunch of Babylon 5 ships in WCP/SO format on his page: http://killerwave.solsector.net/Other.html You can make your own ship meshes for WCP/SO with Wing Blender...

I don't mind you uploading my old OBJ2WCP source code. On the other hand, I've released an update which should fix an issue with the importer for Windows users. You'll need to re-download and re-install Wing Blender 1.5 to apply the update.

Wing Blender 1.5 has been released! New features include an importer, as well as bug fixes in the exporter. The XMF exporter has been disabled.

Hey, Klavs, are you taking model requests? Also, can someone convert these DAE models to a more well-known format, like .3DS? A lot of them don't work if I try to import them into Blender.

Blender Commander is a Blender plugin, and it's just used for exporting 3D models made in Blender to WCP/SO format. The MAT files come from data.tre, so, if you don't have any MAT files, you'll have to extract them from data.tre using HCl's treman utility. If you've installed the OpenGL patch...

I just created a small web app that loads MAT files made for WCP/SO and displays them on HTML5 Canvas elements. http://www.ciinet.org/kevin/matviewer

Here's the collision sphere editor: http://www.ciinet.org/kevin/tbruckner/Collsphr.zip Also, I've updated my post above. EDIT: I've mirrored a lot of this stuff on my (kind of outdated) Wing Blender page.

No support for capships or corvettes as of now, but it is planned for a future version once I learn how BSP trees work. For now, I uploaded the BSP.dll (used with ModelC to generate BSP trees for capship/corvette meshes) to my Blender Commander web page. Also, I just made some changes that...
