Raxx and I are working on script revisions for the BZII XSI exporter for Anim8or. We figured out how to export a usable BZII test cube model that loads in to BZII w/o it crashing. We still can't figure out why the texture won't appear on the models, but basic material colors do show up on the model okay. As usual Raxx does all of the script revisions and I test them in BZII. I've learned enough about script writing to make minor changes in the scripts as Raxx revises them. I think we're up to revision 4 so far. I'll post progress reports for those interested in this project. FYI: We could use some testers to help figure things out. Our XSI format is very similar to the one created by 3DEX 1.5.5; we're clueless as to why it still has an issue with the texture. As per texture porportions I'm using only squared texture sizes like 128x128 etc.
Update: turns out the exporter is fine, but the texture I was using was the actual problem. I created a new 512by512 bmp and used that on the model and wala the texture is viewable now. Raxx, has offered to help out this weekend and will try to modify the existing script to add multiple object grouping similar to that used by BZII. He believes it is possible. Leroy.
