A start on the .MESH file format

Hi Casuir

The engine doesnt assign equipment to every model though does it? Could the same be done for weapons/shields or would they have to remain on the attachmentset texture, i.e. flag them as attachments

If the 'Optional' flag (0 or 1 int the group comments) is set as 0 then the group is flagged as compulsory and given to each figure. Attachments are on the 'figure' texture, equipment are on the 'attachmentset' texture - don't blame me, I didn't come up with the semantics . Shields are a bit of a different matter because the engine needs to know they are there. I haven't tested it though so if you'd like to be an intrepid test pilot, you could change all the shields to equipment and see if this causes the game to crash .

Hi all,

I've posted my Python meshconverter here:

It does mounts and siege engines but has not been extensively
tested. Requires Python 2.5 to be installed to run it.

Well done, great work!!! (Now at least I won't feel so guilty about not putting out my code )

Hi All

Here's the later musketeer in game (it took me a while but I finally tamed the text beast):-



I'm not happy with some of the vertex assignments on the waist band field sign so I'll redo them, I think. When I get some body and hat variations in, it'll look a lot better, I may set the field signs as optional so it only appears on 50% of figures.

Yes the unit not's looking too bad, once it's finished I'll upload it as a shared resource for anybody that's working in that era.

Check out this :-



It's from a guy, SillyOldSod, at twcenter (his post http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showp...3&postcount=10 ). It cracks me up every time I look at it . I may have to ask him if I can use it.

Cheers
