Yes and no, respectively (I don't do prefab requests for lazy people). But regarding...
I'm stuck at step 1 of the process: how do we convert the header and the rest of the hex back into a format we can use?
... I'll point you to the bottom section of

PS. this is XTA 9.58's core_commander.s3o Lua-converted to .obj:

OK, so we'd want to use VFS.Unpack, which is essentially doing what struct does?
Okie doke. Do I have to provide the offset or count?

There's a lua .obj reader in tools/

Im sure somebodies implemented a lua s3o loader of some kind already, if someone can link? I didn't know there was an obj loader in tools though

Someone (trepan & pressureline) implemented a lua obj loader (including textures) but never a straightforward s3o loader.

Meh. I'll look at the one in /tools, see if I can get it to work. And so far as I know, no, there is no straightforward S3O loader, other than whatever Kloot has. Which sucks, because I'd rather keep all of it using the same geometry format, instead of building some of the things I want to try out and then having it be incomprehensibly difficult because it involves thinking about mixed formats, etc.

trepan wrote the loader and the .obj->.lua converter, i implimented a use for it
iirc there's draw s3ounitshape... so all you need to do is make a nonsense .fbi for the model you want to use, and then use that. if i knew how to read from a config file (in a similar format to the lups one perhaps?) i could easily finish off the texture-per-object project that i started 2 years ago. kinda like knowing how to build a house, but then realising you dont know how to use a hammer.

Thanks but i do not need to DRAW the data using openGL.

That, I can help with.
include("Configs/yourConfig.lua") where the config is valid Lua. Usually, this means reading a table, or a series of tables.
