cj2000 839 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) I was worcking on a tool that converts stories mdl file to GTA SA dff one and now I am presenting the first beta here. Features: 1. corect hirarchy import 2. 100% corect UV map import 3. vehicle features: carcols materials and extras import. Konwon bugs: 1. sometimes some faces are fliped. Special thanks: Leeao for helping with reading mdl geometry data. How to use: So here the deskription: you have to start the tool in comandline with "mdltodff.exe input.mdl output.dff" where input.mdl is the path to the mdl file you want to convert and output.dff is the path to the dff file that should contain the output. A posibly easier solution could be a bat file. Edited January 24, 2017 by cj2000 Chuck, Jeansowaty, Victor_Troquetti and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cj2000 839 Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 Interesting project, good luck. Thanks, but fixing the only one known bug could be a problem, however cars and weapons can be converted without problems, only LCS peds have this bug. Also don´t know which other bugs the tool could have. Sweet Bellic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes a bat file is a really good, and at least for me personaly very easy solution, but for the final version of the tool I want to make a GUI to make it even easier.

Alien31 7 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Maybe You Should Specify What Objects it Doesn't Convert? For example the pinata_man from VCS the one in the mission of the factory of the Cholos, where they break it and blows up the enitire place, the tool can convert some models, but objects like i sayd up here doesn't, it gives an error, i know the way cloud be 3DMax plugin but i don't know how to export them compatible with blender, but i preferr use the tool... if it gets uptdated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
