I think it is not possible to make a Spring piece hierachy for a 3x3x3 cube that works like a rubic cube. Could fake it in some ways or translate every piece seperatly instead of rotating 3x3 plates but yeah feature creep...
Already have enough unused stuff I don't know how to fit in :/
(inb4 2nd faction made of scrapped stuff)

yeah, with the outlines it looks much nicer

well, maybe possible to lua it.

Dear lord. Ive been running into this issue, but refuse to import piece by piece .obj files - that is f*cking retarded.
I suspect a lot of you use wings3d?

Pretty much every model in s44 was done per piece with obj - which is why I made Spiked do it.

Are you using blender? Maybe try .dae? Talk to CarRepairer I guess.

Ok, here is the solution:

1. Install python 2.6 and up (not python 3)
2. Unzip the attached archive.
3. Combine the pieces you want in Wings to the pieces you want in spring. Triangulate the model.
4. Export as .obj
5. Double click objtos3o.py and select your obj file OR type python objtos3o.py myobjectfile.obj
6. Enjoy an optimized, vertex cache optimized correct normals piece split .s3o file!

All thanks goes to Muon for his amazing s3o-tool library. Thank him here:http://springrts.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=27529

There is an easter egg too: you get 10% more fps because the models are vertex cache optimized!

Me and Kaiser did 3ds. A lot less painful.

Forb: 3ds is what I had issues with, the 3ds files created by wings either have their smoothing groups screwed up, or upspring screws them up. Thus normals correct importing from wings is only possible with obj.

I saw that some of kaiser's models have their normals screwed up too, you might want to look into it.

One day you lot will listen to me about 3ds

Skinner: "They called me old-fashioned for teaching the duck-and-cover method, but who's laughing now!"

He said it. and we didnt listen. And he is right about it. But the other way is not the first you stumble upon, not the easy one if you use max. So good advice is good. If it blend(er)s!
