i am (and many others too!) very pleased reading this and looking forward to this development! it simply will sweep the whole game to a new level.

you can use .dat files to display new 'items' in game no problem. The problem arises when .dat files are made into units (they become transparent and they have no collision model)

Only if they are not done right.
Just planting Units from SH3 or SH4 won't work.
There's more involved.
I'm not sure the Dev's even know what needs to be done.
You first need to forget the way zones were done for SH3/4
It don't fly.

It also involves some 3D work to get a better grasp of things.

Going back through some posts at the GWX Lair?
I did send a test version of the Type 14 Sub out that took damages from Deck Guns.
It was done with a dat, So I do have the answer to that problem.
(This statement can be verified by any GWX Dev)
On recent tests? I also saw damages of a sort.
Not correct damages, but a clue to follow.
The one thing I have not seen yet is the bottom of a Unit when viewed above water.
They look like SH3 Units.

A new version of the Exporter will be sent out to Testers Monday or Tuesday.

This is still a pre-Alpha build.
I need some information on the install path in the registry for different
operating systems before I release an Alpha version of the Main interface.

What does the Main interface do?
It allows a 3D view of the GR2 files meshes.
From there you can select one object to export or all objects.
You can also explode the view to make selecting objects easier.

The reason I need info on the install path as placed in the registry
is for the textures.
The 3D view will render them if you wish.
It also controls the commands in the exported mtl file.
You won't have to move textures any longer.

As a side project, a plug in for 3D Max users is nearly done.
It allows a direct import to 3D Max.
It's only for the 2008 version right now.

The import to GR2 files Tool is also nearly ready for testing.

Thanks, Privateer.

Good luck.

No problem Anvart.
A solution is in the works for placeing the files where you wish.
The registry thing is to be used as a default location of files.

To the Testers:
Yesterday a Test version went out to you.
Please let me know when you have downloaded the files.
Also, a fix went out this Morning.
Anvart pointed out that the Characters did not export.
That is fixed as of today.

While this work may not appear "Glamorous" to many Sh 5 users.......

I offer my Humble THANKS to all involved, and a special "Shout-Out" to Privateer.
This will be the Back Bone of MANY Mods to come if, or should I say when, this work is completed.
The help of Tools like this will open doors that will breath LONG life into Sh 5, with many scenerios and diversity that cannot be accomplished today.

Thank You Kind Sirs !

Be Well.............
