I am having big troubles with Wings 3D
I am having big troubles with Wings 3D
I know how to use wings and everything, the problem is this:
1. I successfully installed the BZW plug-in
2. I made an object with Wings 3D
3. I tried to export it to a BZW file
4. I told the app. where I wanted the new file to save and clicked save, instead of saving, it brought up a window inside of wings with all the code. All I can do is click "done", and then it goes back to Wings, without saving the new exported file.
Does anybody know how to fix this problem?

Re: I am having big troubles with Wings 3D
don't know how to fix it, but what you can do is copy-paste the code that it gives you (if it's the map code) and save it as a separate file. Just make sure to save it as .bzw, and not as .txt type file.

Re: I am having big troubles with Wings 3D
I've never heard of this problem, but i would suggest that you get an OLDER version of wings.
V 0.98.34 is known to work with the bzw exporter plugin.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... e_id=25098
If your still having problems, you can export from wings in obj format, then convert to bzw using modeltool.

Take a look at my Defender game mode concept.
Thinking is not an automatic process. A man can choose to think or to let his mind stagnate, or he can choose actively to turn against his intelligence, to evade his knowledge, to subvert his reason. If he refuses to think, he courts disaster: he cannot with impunity reject his means of perceiving reality.

You'll have to build it if you're not on Windows. You can get it along with the source code for the game.
http://my.bzflag.org/w/BZFlag_SVN
So get the trunk svn code, then 'cd' into the created directory, and run:
Code: Select all
./autogen.sh
./configure
cd tools/modeltool/
make
And now you should have a 'modeltool' binary file that you can run. It is a CLI based application, so you have to run it from the terminal. You could then copy the file (with the 'cp' command) to your home directory so it's easy to find later.
You can find more information here: http://my.bzflag.org/w/Modeltool
Re: I am having big troubles with Wings 3D
I am sorry, but I didn't get most of that. I got to here: https://bzflag.svn.sourceforge.net/svnr ... nk/bzflag/
but then I don't know where to go or what to do. What is "cd"? And how do I create the drectory.
By the way, I am on a mac.

Re: I am having big troubles with Wings 3D
Here are the sources for the wings3d bzw exporter. I don't really
have any interest in updating them for the wings3d changes that
broke the plugin, but others may...

Re: I am having big troubles with Wings 3D
User "Optigon" at a wings3d forum has been nice enough to compile these sources with the latest version of erlang.
This shoukd work with the latest version of wings, 0.99.53. COMPLETELY UNTESTED, please report bugs here.
The file that was attached has been deleted, it didnt work. Scroll down for the working version.

Re: I am having big troubles with Wings 3D
But I got modeltool to work, so it doesn't matter anyway
