OBJ2RA2 - Obj 3d models to RA2 bot converter - Feedback thread

[apanx]

OBJ2RA2
Converts obj 3d models into RA2 bots. Models need to have triangular faces.
Takes first argument of command-line as file to convert. So just drag and drop the bot file on the program.

Does this have much use other than making statues?

Maybe a tutorial?

Even if it didn't this is still impressive.

What's wrong with statues?

nope, no use in ra2 at all which is why apanx made it

[Mouldy]

If people are really good at it, they could use it in bot building. (A near quote from apanx when talking to the lad)

this is a ****ing godsend for irl and replica builders

Holy hell. That is awesome. Will finally put Blender to use.
Mind if i make it into a Blender plugin for my own use, so it automatically saves models as bot files?

I tried using Blender to do this, but it won't convert my .obj file to a .bot file? Faces are indeed exported as triangulated...

[Badnik96]

what settings are you using to export your .obj with? i was having a similar issue until i set my vertices to unwelded in the obj export settings

Hmm, I use the default Blender export to .obj options. Just to try and see what happened when I used OBJ2RA2, with no result...

[Badnik96]

can you screenshot those settings and post them here? i can probably pinpoint where you went wrong

Sure. Here you go.

*BUMP*

If I can get this conversion to work, I might get a very certain robot into Robot Arena 2 - Design & Destroy. It's been quite some time...

I'm trying to think of all the possible options this could be...
