m8m/mdl7/mdl5 mesh loaders

[8bitsz]

hi, i am new in irrlicht and i wrote m8m, mdl7/mdl5(3dgs models format) mesh loaders for irrlicht users.
sorry my poor english and my programming style.

update:

source + examples 1.51
http://www.mediafire.com/file/iy5yodxzooz/files.7z

changes:
- add - asciiconverter functions createMesh/write3DS/writePIE/writeG3D
- add - reduced vertices duplication
- fix - max vertices 65535 (because m8m/mdl7/mdl3/3ds... use 16bits indices)
- fix - mdl7/mdl3/ascii normals
- fix - minor bugs

Gotta LOVE people who contribute on their first post

[BlindSide]

Yeah and not just any contribution, this is quite a big deal. Nice work!

He also included a fix for Alt/F10 key, and what is the "ASCII" mesh format? Is it similar to OBJ?

[Dorth]

ascii is probably the text implementation, per opposition to the binary one. Although that's a pure guess of my part

[anoki]

Great work. Thanks.

Nice work, although your source is very difficult to read!
What is M8M mesh format? I've never heard of it

[Eagle_Eye]

I can't seem to open it in rar. anyway to get a rar file of it? i've been meaning to implement some form of md5 loader in my engine but since you already did it, then i guess i could just use yours. Also, does Irrlicht load .dds files? cause i tried to load it and it didn't work at all.

its not a md5 loader.
mdl5/mdl7 (3d gamestudio model format).

What is M8M mesh format?

m8m is a custom mesh similar 3dgs mdl5.
