I'm just getting started with writing scripts for Blender! Still learning to actually work with it.
For what I have learned so far? I can see doing a script to just open a Location.dat and have it load with no other work needed!

If a program is written, I can see the user wanting a visual "catalog" of all that is available... "Let's see, I want the green one - no, make that red... changed my mind - I like the blue the best... maybe..." :arrgh!:

I suppose you'd like it to work with touch Screen also?
:haha:

I do have an old project that uses Direct3D11 for touch screen code.
:hmmm:

Back to doing a Script........
I'm thinking a multidimensional array would work to adjust obj files on import.
So say the Location.dat has 200 objects. I'd have the array set for 200 by 3 or 6 depending on Blender Python.

Spending a LOT of hours just reading up on Blender Python.
To find what I need I use 010 to search the files in Blender.
I was confused about Numpy. Numpy is a math library for Python.
I need that to create a multidimensional array as basic Python does not provide for those. Fortunately Blender has Numpy which took me a while figuring out since searches on the weebz talked about installing it. :roll:

Now I read the Numpy Python stuff in Blender for proper usage.
:O:

And from reading those files? It appears that it can be used to read a Location.dat file directly! Thus removing the need for 010 to grab the basic information.
:hmmm:

Was gonna post a new image but seems image posting is all FUBAR?
:hmmm:
Ya wanna see it go here....

as for the images, getting the correct link can be a bit tough with imgur... or any of the sites anymore, especially if you're doing a gif. They want to sling ads at everybody. :salute:

That image is placement nodes for the Djakarta.dat location file.
:03:

Any news on that work? I think it could be useful to improve the forests too. :03:
