Matey I'm still getting this error msg every time I import a modified obj model back into a dat file :
"Java.Lang.NullPointerException"
Thanks to Seeadler's info - the import into 3D max 7 now works correctly. Following his "How to" to the letter I exported the modified "NDD_Type34_cablu.obj" back into the 3d folder inside my Type36A folder and then with Pack3d I try to import this modifed obj back into the type 36A dat and I always get the above error msg.
Its driving me NUTS.
In MAX the damn cables (cause thats what this obj file is) are now all correct for length, position and so forth. They are exported back (as far as I can tell) just fine. The only thing that don't add up is the fact that the COORD's for the "NDD_Type34_cablu.obj" in the Dat dont translate correctly in MAX. See in MAX, Dat Z COORDs become MAX Y COORDs and DAT Y become MAX Z COORDs - however IF Dat Z COORDs are a Negitive value they are now a Postive value iin MAX. ie:
Dat COORD Y = -4.096
become
MAX COORD Z = 4.096
So when I use the DAT COORDs in MAX the bloody cables are nowhere near where they are ment to be. All other COORDs work 100% fine as per above, makes no bloody sence.
Anyway I await your pearls of wisdom and hope this can be resolved.
