Yeah, I rebuilt the mtl file with generic info from wikipedia and still can get any texture references in the viewer.
This could be because of inconsistencies with how the VRML standard is implemented from application to application, or because I simply don't know what I am doing and guessed wrong.
Here's the Snk_bldg_cantina.mtl file I came up with if anyone is curious:

Pretty sure the filenames are wrong, but that's something that could be fixed later. I was just trying to get it to transfer any file name at all so it could be fixed. Didn't work, of course.

This probably isn't the solution, but, I fed it into 3D Object Converter and saved VRML versions 1 and 2.
The Viewer only loads the 2 version. Also, 3D Object converter killed the textures.
I seem to remember having this trouble before and it required altering the obj in a txt editor before doing the conversion in Wings.
Gonna try again to get the texture references. Kinda important since there are so many on this model.
-edit
Ah, it needs the material file. It has all the usemtl names and list the file as Snk_bldg_cantina.mtl
I'll try to rebuild it, since the names are the same as the filename, but there is a 100% chance that all the color info will be wrong since I'll have to guess.
It should have saved the mtl file in the same folder as the obj.
I think all that was required to get Wings to play nice with it was to change the texture references in the mtl file from absolute to relative path names using a text editor.
for example, change:
C:\some\long\list\of\folder\names\texture.jpg
to
texture.jpg

That is really spiffy.

Ah. Turns out I've been using the code tag to display lists with a fixed width font.
I feel like a code exploiter now.
btw, for batch files it uses

Certainly a lot more yellow and orange than blue and violet on that map.
It's just a comparison of norms to a single month though, so not really relevant to anything other than trivia. (nothing to see here folks, move along.)
Highs and lows happen all the time and even though I am not a statistical expert, I am pretty sure they will have to happen somewhere on Earth. It gets exciting when it happens where people are I guess.
Also, the jet stream is a thing.

SWBF1 Modding / Re: Zero editor scripts

I think all those cfg's are for ZeroEdit only.

SWBF1 Modding / Re: Zero editor scripts
February 25, 2014, 01:11:45 PM
cfg is just a customary file extension that's been used for years.
Typically it would just be a text config file, with settings and such.
In this case, it looks like they are just definitions for setting up the GUI in ZeroEdit.
As for what language..
I'm going to guess it's a variant of whatever scripting language was part of Zero when they started making it into a level editor.
You could look for other games that used Zero and see if or how they were scripted, but I am going to bet that most everything in our version was built exclusively for it.
The cfg files were probably made by the person in charge of setting up the editor and he probably didn't make a handbook.
You're probably on your own as far as figuring out what everything does or what their extents are.
-edit
Perhaps it's more than just the GUI.
input/input_common_alt.cfg is pretty interesting.

General / Re: Help: Learning how to use Xcode
February 23, 2014, 10:53:15 AM
I know nothing about Xcode.
A good starting point for learning any language is to look for online tutorials or knowledge bases about whatever it is you want to learn.
You may be able to find some books on it at your local library or book store. (Don't forget to check the local college book store as well.) Find a lesson plan and stick to it. Do the examples, no matter how simplistic they may feel.
Beyond that, have an idea and jump in and start coding. Use the internet as a tool to help find solutions and find a community that uses the language.

It would be interesting to know if any of those phones are actually selling for those insane prices.

Just did a search on ebay. The only ones with any bids are priced $55 or lower.
