Title: _MY_ POF to COB code.
Post by: Kazan on June 12, 2001, 11:39:00 am

I'm not talking about that console bug fix of  Krueger's code.  In the last two days I wrote POF CS's POF to COB code.

Full Textures
All LODs
Full Hierarchy

enjoy  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

actually for sanity i didn't completely preserve the hierarchy, but it's just a matter of moving the debris to under lod0 and making the secondary lods children of lod0 renamed to detail# [or top level if you want to use PCS's SCN to POF which runs on the same code as POF to COB] and all the lods and debris are initially the children of a group named "FreeSpace Model"

oh and it'll take a minute the first time TrueSpace loads the model... it's culling unneeded information and generating additioal info [and locating the textures]

just immediately save it and you'll never have to do that again

Hehe, will this work with the boadicea? it never registers as having LODs in Kreuger's tools...

it's only suppose to be able to select cobs... the save code isn't .scn clean because i didn't write support for writing chunks that are in .scn's that are not in COBs.. and out of 30 some common chunks and a few more for .scn's i only needed to read 4 chunks common to both

Does it have TS1 support? Since .cob-.pof was originally written due to TS1's being a free download....

major negatory... same support rules at the cob importer since it's the same object class

there is a bug with the axes of subobject, they are placed at the center of the model, that is pof2cob convertion.

it would also be nice if there could be an options section for setting defaults like the default directory for opening/saveing pofs, even better would be if it could remember the last directory it looked in for something.

and were is the documentation for turret auto generation

When you convert a small fighter to cob, or any other ship using one texture file for that matter, the UV is messed up. I have a herc, Herc II, and myrmadon with misaligned skins...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif) I also have a SFr Asmodeus with misaligned skins  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)

and I think he's on vacation, anyone know when he'll be back
