New program needs testing - Dark Engine Object Converter Interface

R Soul on 21/11/2012 at 22:59

I decided to write a GUI that makes it easier to convert .bin/.e files to 3ds, and convert their textures if necessary. It then puts them all in folders chosen by the user. If you enter a Model Name, it can search in the crf files if it isn't in your obj/mesh folder.

I've already tested this in XP and Vista (with and without UAC enabled) and I'm confident it works reliably, but I would like a few others to test it first.

I've also made a readme and would like to know if it explains things properly.

If you're interested you can post here or send a PM, and I can send you the link.

I could be another vista64 tester. As you know I can misunderstand just about any technical doc written.

Throw it my way. I only have a tentative grasp on the subject, but hell...that probably makes me a better beta tester than the old hands.

I'm on Windows 8 x64 over here.

I'll PM you two the download link.

To the forum in general - this program could do with an icon. The current one is just a generic placeholder.

Let me try it out, too. It needs the Dummy Check.

the first time I tried it it went more or less fine but now I always get an

.NET Framework Error that C.DMD in ...\Temp couldn't be found

@Nightshifter did you intentionally left out the D?
And what about D(E)OC(I)?

R Soul on 25/11/2012 at 23:04

I suspect your object file has the text "c.dmd" which my program has interpreted as a filename. I'll refine the search function so it only looks for a reasonable set of extensions.

not really intentionally, was just playing around.

problem is that you have very little space in an icon.
and the gear symbol kinds of points at dark engine

will give it another go,

yah I checked it with notepad and there is really a line with c.dmd in it.
Hm I think I do that manually then.

Maybe some useful features:

•running deoci.exe via 'open with' and the selected file

•An option for no texture export

•deleting the intermediate e.-file when creating 3ds

•No reset of the output folder path to blank on program start.

@nightshifter
Is there a way (no programs) to link icons with an exe?
