I looked into using 3ds as a file format, and it looked feasible. The Pumpkin folks used 3DS MAX originally to create the 3D models, and connectors were (apparently) made by adding specially annotated points (with names like CONNECTOR1 etc). I have a proof of concept program to convert 3ds files to PIE files (just polygons for now) using lib3ds, but since I do not have 3DS MAX/Studio, I cannot really test it. Unfortunately, few open source 3D programs seem to support annotations, and who knows if those who do support it can manage to export them properly to the 3ds file format. I'd hate to end up requiring an expensive and proprietary program to create models for Warzone. What I think we need to find out is if blender can create annotations, and other things we require for Warzone, and export them to 3ds. (The native blender format is AFAICT completely undocumented, and using 3ds will allow people to use other programs, too.) Since I do not know anything about such programs, I cannot (or will not spend the time required to) figure out how this for myself. So I would need to work with someone who has some experience with it already. But I think it is feasible. - Per ___ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev

I should perhaps add that we may still need a tool like pieslicer to perform final adjustments to the models before Warzone can handle them. Also, if we did have a new, neat pieslicer program that could add connectors, fix the coordinate system, etc, it would be much easier to use whatever 3D program to create models instead of requiring knowing about complicated stuff like annotations. So I think the discussion of which 3D file format to use is quite separate from the issue of a new pieslicer program. - Per ___ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev

Anyone still have a copy of what he say lav_coyote pasted that post in wz2100.net forum not so long ago.The author said you can do whatever you want with the pieslicer source,sorta MIT imo. Also worth mentioning,berkus on our IRC channel said he is working on a C++/cross-platform port of pieslicer with codename 'pie mincer' Well, cross compiled C++ beats VB any day. I'll just wait to see what he produces. ___ Warzone-dev mailing list Warzone-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/warzone-dev
