So, what's working in it, so far?

http://tcll5850.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=umcrel&action=display&thread=85 <- need to UD a little
mdl0 plugin: http://tcll5850.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=umcrel&thread=82&page=1

And how does it work?

how to use:
1: run the program
2: select the import file (check the extension)
3: if referenced by more than 1 plugin, select the type of conversion to do (not fully implemented yet)
 - else skip this step
4: type, or select the export file (type the extension)
5: same as 3

and wait for the program to finish
that's it.

How it works:
takes the import file and compairs the extension to the returned extension from a list of plugins,
once the conversion type is set, converts the file to my global format 'global.tmp'
then converts the tmp to the export file which is set by the same method as the import file.
note: files are selected before conversion begins.
also, cancelling at any time closes the program (before conversion)

for info on my tmp format, refer to here:

You run it with Python?
And if so, with what program in the Python folder?

just python

using 2.6
but can run on 2.5 and not sure how many versions lower

and no add-ons

I use Tk

I hate add-ons like wxPy or whatever

[ForOhFor Error]

No addons necessary?
Awesome.
And, a coding question:
Do you get the extension by splitting the file name string at the period?

[DarkPikachu]

btw, forgot to notify about backups

in the program directory: fileconvert_2.0b
create the folder 'backups'

so there should be:

fileconvert_2.0b/
    plugins/
        brawl.py
        obj.py
    backups/
        *import file*.tmp
    UMC.py (or .pyw)

yep imfl.split('.')[-1]

imfl and exfl are my import and export vars
just read the comments
I think I stated it... >.>

note: I don't actually open the file until the plugin is selected...
that's why I have an info function:

#mdl0 plugin v0.2b
def inf(support,im_types,ex_types,SC_types): #plugin information
    support.append("*.mdl0") #supported import type
    im_types.append(('Brawl','*.mdl0')) #individual import type
    #ex_types.append(('Brawl','*.mdl0')) #individual export type
    SC_types.append(['mdl0','Brawl','im_brawl','ex_brawl'])

the SC_types are new

[ForOhFor Error]

imfl?
I'm guessing that stands for 'import file'.

[DarkPikachu]

imfl?

yep

but in the plugins, you'll find 'fr' and 'fw'
'FileRead' and 'FileWrite'

also

in the inf function

'support' is for the supported filetypes
'im_types' and 'ex_types' are individuals
'SC_types' is for the Safety Check window

the SCW is for multiple plugins on the same format.
it shows a list of buttons for selecting the proper plugin...

I can't seem to get the command to work on them though >_>

hey 404

you seem to be pretty interested...
1: how much do you know about Py?? (hopefully more than me)
2: would you like to help out??

[Naruto200Man]

Is this a plugin for 3DS max?
Or does it simply convert the file itself?
I'm cornfused D:

I'm cornfused D:

it converts the file itself...

the plugins are for my converter...
but the plugins are what do all the work of actually opening the file...

def impt(imfl,imSC,debug): #import function
    if imfl.split(".")[-1] == "mdl0" and imSC == 'Brawl': #check extension + safety check (requitred)
        fr = open(imfl,'rb') #open mdl0 file
        fw = open('global.tmp','w') #global template format file

notice the safety check  var as well... 'imSC'

1. Just the basic commands, a few math functions, the while loop, and text file reading/writing. I'm in a programming course (which is available to freshmen at our school, which is awesome)
2. Sure, but I don't know much about the format. Or anything about 3D model files, really XD
