IQMs for Transfusion?

Post by DustyStyx »

After poking around some, Ive been told to try using the IQM format for our models.

The developer's kit can be found here: http://lee.fov120.com/iqm/

It does have plug-ins for Blender, but I've not been able to get it to work with the Blender 2.5 beta. I imagine that I'm doing something wrong, but there's not that much documentation with it and I'm new to Blender so that's not surprising.

Has anyone else had any luck with this?

Motorsep (who can be found in the #darkplaces irc channel on irc.anynet.org) is using the IQM format in his upcoming game called Steel Storm. You may want to have a chat with him.

BlackHC also wrote an export tool that may or may not be helpful; http://svn.icculus.org/darkwar/trunk/ba ... iew=markup

Thanks Willis. I'll follow up on that. I was also poking around the Xonotic forums and found reference to the ASE model format. Do you know anything about it? I didn't see anything about it on the DP wiki.

I don't know anything about it, but a quick search led me to http://www.modwiki.net/wiki/ASE_%28file_format%29

Looks like it has more to do with the modeling software format than a game engine format, but could have something to do with the potential replacement for q3bsp maps that has been rumored for quite some time (though I think DP plans on using them in .map format somehow). Static meshes make perfect sense for level, but can be more demanding on the engine I'd assume, as there is less pre-compiling.

Thanks for the link. I suppose it's something to the "possibilities" bin.
