I use the same scenery for my researches. eddt2k uses a somehow compressed/encrypted file format which I can not decompress and at the moment even can not recognize. A work around for this problem is to decomplie and recomplie the bgl file. I use scdis (V2.2) and fsc of from http://www.freesc.org. For decomression you have to use the dos/windows version though. The decompression algorithm is only available to the windows version. (You can use wine if you like to stay in linux) This works with lots of bgl files, unfortunately not with all. That's because of scdis/fsc can not cope with all bgl statements. > > Do you know whether you can read gmax-generated BGL files? > For the MDL loader, this is IMO the biggest limitation. > BTW, I used the MDL loader intensively the last week or two and > it works very similar to the old one, which is good news :).

BGL files usually define a point array to which it refers later on for drawing polygons. For each polygon the MDL loader assigns the complete point array to the leaf. The BGL loader assigns only such vertices to the leaf that were used.

Well, actually I don't cut the layers I sort them and write them from back to front while disabling the depth buffer for writing.
