I understand that you're still busy with college and other IRL stuff right now, but I'm still looking forward to what you'll cook up soon, like custom peds and whatnot.

Oh and just sent you a Facebook friend request too, if you don't mind.

Thank you for uploading again.

Question. Would it be possible to take the data from scene2.bin and convert them into 4ds? So each little object would be a copy in a 4ds scene and not a reference from the bin file.

Many thanks

Muggy this is a still legit question. I am asking if LS3D Sandbox would be able to do this. Since you were so eager to lock my topic i could not answer AsaSK. In fact that both of these amazing toole are able to read data from bin file shows that it is possible to have an export function where all those references are turned into separate copies of 3d objects that hold their individual Vector3 and Quaternion values and thus having a possibility to import an entire city into another 3d application.

Of course the entire another matter is that virtually no one needs this functionality because everyone is modding the game in its native engine. Since AsaSK told that this is impossible shows me that he has no plans to program this functionality into his application. So i decided to ask here because Sandbox has an export function (that is currently greyed out). That why i was asking again because maybe there is a chance that he plans to have this feature in future.

OP i would be very thankful if you could answer the question.
I just want to be 100% sure before i start to to export, copy and place every model from cache file by hand. It would be months of work that could be avoided.

Muggy. There is no need to treat me like an idiot. I am asking the same question because i know exactly what i need to do. The only diffetence is that this work could be finished in 3 weeks instead of 6 months if the tools supported the feature that i need. And this mod would drive alot of traffic to this site from VR community once Oculus Rift and Valve headsets are released. When i was a kid i always dreamed to visit that city on real life. Having a possibility to walk around in 4ds file (which is mostly empty streets and a few buildings) is already so amazing. Having an entire city plus all its details would be super. And it is looking amazing with unity5 realtime GI. Even with low rez rextures.

The problem was that the question was
still about taking the data from scene2.bin
and converting this to 4ds; regardless of
where you post this, you are still asking
the same question. Authors of threads
or topics do read other posts in other
topics and could easily have answered
your question including djbozkosz.

You had already posted this question
once in MWE, but you did not wait for
an answer from ASM and then posted
a new topic* asking the same question.
*This would've been fine if you had
done this (in the right forum of course)
in the first place and waited for replies
from whoever could help.

No I am not treating you like an idiot
BUT, please don't treat me like one
either. If djbozkosz is able to help with
your request... Please, stick to one topic
to deal with your problem.

Thanks!

I created the separate topic after posting MWE. The logic behind that was if in case there is another way to achieve that and someone who knows the answer might not read the MWE thread. I could not delete the post from mwe and did not have nothing meaningful to edit that post with. So i left it as it was.

I post it again here. Same question but totally different software. Since the OP in this thread did not post for a while i had a good reason to believe that he might not read other posts. So i decided to ask again while a got a chance since he just posted a day ago. I am sorry if my 3 posts looks lime spam to you. I just wanted to maximise the chance to get different opinions from smart people in this community. In the end we all want the same thing. Bring people back to an amazing game.

Of course i am going to keep this in topic when he answers. But i am afraid that my question has now lost behind the wall of text containing arguments that in the end does not mean anything.

gotmilk, in short: it is possible, everything is possible. I would appreciate this "baking" function too. Also with material merging (one mesh with one texture atlas) because then is rendering performance truly maximized. BUT, please don't expect this from me in near future.

clear?
