Schwaa's demo sounds intriguing, but doesn't seem interested in working. Any ideas? I'm using Dromed to open the .cow and Thief 2 has been installed by Darkloader. The error: buff len of 80 exceeded by 80. Talk about cryptic!

That's a problem with the path name length (e.g. c:\...(some long series of folders)...\Thief2\moo.cow). Your path is right on the limit, so you just need to shorten a folder/file name.

Thanks, I will give it a go. Is there some reason the software can't tell me that? Or is the weight of history against it?

Next problem--lots of white placeholders instead of the goodies.

In case anyone here still uses Wings, I would just like to point out I have a plug-in for importing and exporting static .bin models.
Download it here: (https://sourceforge.net/projects/wingsthings/files/) (the file is wpc_dark_bin-*.*.*.tgz)
Here's the help page: (https://sourceforge.net/p/wingsthings/wiki/wpc_dark_bin/)
And it probably makes sense to list the plug-in in the (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=144469) Resources for Mission Authors topic.

Wings has recently hit a major milestone: version 2.1.4 was declared a stable release. The old (ugly) version 1.* branch (last release 1.5.4) is now deprecated, and you won't find it on the download page:
(http://www.wings3d.com/?page_id=84)
The 2.* branch is an improvement in many ways, but mainly in the following:

* The jerry-built custom UI has been replaced by wxWidgets controls, making Wings look like a native program on each platform it runs on. System clipboard operations are also supported now. Mind-bogglingly, they weren't in 1.*.
* The viewport has been reimplemented using vertex buffers, which make light work of high polycounts.
