Change Log

1.0.0: Initial release

Install

Use R2ModMan or similar installer to install this plugin.

Usage

1. In the Core TS Library find the Construction Base under Creature | Other | Construction.
2. Add the construction base to the board. It will appear as a bring humanoid.
3. Press the import shortcut key.
4. Type the name of the OBJ file without the extension and press the Build button.

Default: RCTRL+O

Note: The first time transforming into a new OBJ file can take a few moments to apply. Successive times changing into the same OBJ file should take shorter (because the OBJ file conversion is cached in a UOBJ file placed in the same location as the original file).

OBJ Limitations

This OBJ importer support only a limited subset of OBJ files. In order for the OBJ Importer to work the following criteria needs to be met:

1. The OBJ file must have only 1 mesh.

2. The OBJ file must use, at most, only 1 texture.

If the desired OBJ file has multiple meshes or textures use a software like Blender to combine the meshes and texture first.

The OBJ Importer does not use an MTL file but it will automatically loads the texture if there is a PNG, BMP, or JPG file present in the same folder as the OBJ file and has the same name (except for the extension). For example:

Dummy.OBJ Dummy.PNG
