-I Need Help Exporting Maps!-

[sleepyear]

I want to export the map i created into a different program.. is this possible?

would i be able to export my map into lets say, blender?

if so can someone give me a step by step process on doing this?

the map editing engine in this is top notch and would be great if you could export to other engines.

i read that i need to type /writeobj

but im not sure what that does or where it saves to

thanks ahead of time!

/writeobj makes the map into a .obj model formal, It is stored in your My_Stuff folder.
It will work in blender

you are the man! for some reason however, when i look in the mystuff folder it is saved as a .cfg file?
how do i make it .obj? and how do i go about importing that into blender? thanks again matthew

Type for example /wtireobj NAME
it would be in your my_stuff folder as NAME.obj
Blender Menus: File->import->Wavefront (obj)
By the way, I like your name "SleepyYear"

my final question is
is there a way to export these maps with the textures still intact?

As far as my experience goes, no. Mainly because most (if not all) 3D programs outside of Sandbox won't accept those textures. I tried it myself about a year ago and it imported correctly into Blender 3D, but it didn't have the textures.

So final answer, no. On the other hand it means you get to experiment with materials and texturing for a 3D program

yeah that is the bright side

i was just mainly wondering so i didnt go about taking time in areas that didnt need it (texture in this case) i can focus now on just shaping the buildings and placements.

thanks you guys, glad the community on this board is alive and well.

Hmm, but it does create a .mtl where the textures are correctly linked. I check it and then edit my post.

EDIT: Ok, so it worked fine. Put it into the main folder of PAS and import it. I tried it using Wings3D and this is my result:

so it is possible to export a finished map? this is great news!

would you mind writing a step by step on how to do this?

would i write the .mtl the same was as obj?
like this
/wrtiemtl
?

The only way to export it back to Sandbox would be to use Marching Cubes by Wrack.

Make sure you use it with Sauerbraten, Then move the map to Sandbox.
