Ok, that seems to work! Many thanks to alpaca and to TosaInu for running tests to see what was wrong. Here's where I am: The fun starts at where tell says t

ell says 3863224

That's for the hexedit gurus: this is the byte location for where it starts getting interesting. There seems to be some 4x4 homogeneous coordinate matrices here before the float data starts. (I have been reading up on this.) Here's the float data: Edit: Line-Break test by alpaca:

/Edit Doesn't this look like homogeneous coordinate data with weird granny bytes after it? I'm hoping GrumpyOldMan, Casuir, or zxiang1983 will take pity on me and find a pattern in the granny strings so I can go forward with some guidance but I can't see a pattern here. Hope this post comes out formatted alright. Many thanks for the interest in the subject If nothing else, it would be fun to make villages/towns etc. more tailored to the culture. Really, the interest is of course the fantasy mods with round doors for hobbit villages but better architecture for old (biblical, roman, etc.) mod types would be interesting too. Love this stuff , hope others do as well. KE Edit: Sigh, same problem, no line breaks....don't know what to do about this. I used Mozilla but I can also use IE or the latest Firefox. If anything occurs to people please let me know.
