DFF mesh format loader

Thanx, but there are still some missing or the convertion gone wrong?

And my executable crashes, has this anything to do with the fact nog al textures can be loaded or something else?

exe should not crash, only error message if an archive is empty.

but you can also wait a few days, as i am already finished adding a loader for IMG files, and now only need to make a TXD loader which also decompresses DXT files.

tiny preview screenshot for the new version. everything is currently loaded directly from the IMG files of GTA3, so no unpacking needed at all.
code works in 1.6SVN only, because this has been made possible only be the new filesystem changes in 1.6

there are still issues in correct image parameter recognition (bit depth, alpha, dxt compression), because of this the colors in the picture are wrong...

the previously released versions are for 1.4.2, the newest version (still unreleased) will only work under 1.6 (current SVN), since it uses the new filesystem API to be able to read models and textures directly from the games IMG archives.

well, it is possible, since i never tested 1.5. but the newest version will definitely need 1.6-SVN or newer

the DFF file you linked there will not work, since no frames are supported. that means things like cars are not supported at the moment, only buildings, landscape and other simple models are supported.

"Don't work" means what? Did you computer explode when you tried or was the image not converted?
Any error messages?

for testing, you can use the original TGAs also, it is not needed to convert them to JPG. the only difference is that the files use less HD space.
