As I’m fed up being forced to use only Blender 2.49 because I need working MD2 import and export scripts, after having fixed a tiny bug (the frame 0 could not be modified but my fix shifts all indices), I have just tried to port the MD2 import script from 2.49 to 2.63. I’m not a Python programmer and I find the documentation of the API a bit poor. There are a few remaining things to fix:
I have not succeeded to port the GUI (there was only a second file chooser for the texture and a slider for the scale)
I have some problems to create the mesh and the mesh data
I don’t know how to replace some calls of extend()
I haven’t succeeded in passing the correct filename
Could someone help me to solve my remaining problems so that the whole community can benefit of this script? I’m under GNU Linux, I cannot use any other modeler to import MD2 models and actually, I don’t want to abandon Blender. I had not programmed in Python for 8 years, I feel more comfortable with Java. I have just tried to upload it here but I have a warning “Invalid file” :mad:
I still have some errors:
