So, wait, does the current version get a built model (semi)working in-game, or is it completely broken?
Not broken, there's just no easy way to import/export node weights with the current format. The rebuild works with the exception of materials and polygon data types, but those happen last. And yes, they're the original bones. Normals don't matter so much because the program re-generates those anyways. The only thing that is 'broken' is the vertex weights, which is why I need more time to re-organize the model layout. Basically, instead of having ten resource types there will only be five: Bones, Materials, Shaders, Polygons, Textures.
Are you talking about the ordering of format itself or just the order of priority? I also take it the UV maps are part of the Polygons?
You will need the Collada plugin, and for that, I recommend 3dsmax 2008 above the others. 2009 and 10's collada plugins are quite broken.
Ahh hell. Can't seem to find a trial download for 3DS Max '08. I have 30 days left on my 2010 trial, so I need to know the proper file type to export the models as so I can load them in Maya to properly apply collada then re-export to BrawlBox. Suggestions?
I've got Homebrew and Gecko OS just as u told me to, but how do I get edited characters to work on my wii? I also made the files u told me to make. I'd be glad if someone could help me:D
The way the MDL files are laid out, everything is indexed within a polygon including weights. However, a single vertex usually has one weight and normal attached to it but is referenced multiple times. In Collada and FBX, the vertices have the weights attached instead of being indexed.

Hmm! A chart of incomprehensible techno-jargon? Obviously this is proof of hard work! Carry on!I'm still working I swear!
Psh. We believe you. Keep up the good work.Sorry this is taking so long.... I'm still working I swear!
Take your time, man. We've got enough possible content to last years already, no rush.Sorry this is taking so long. I've been having to learn a lot more about vertex processing. Since technically I'm having to design a 3d engine, I want to make sure it matches up with 'standards' because I don't want to do this again.
If anyone cares to know, the system will use a fairly loose model format that favors MDL instead of the other way around. Like an intermediate texture file, the model format will be convertible between multiple standards. Here's a chart:

This. Continue with the hard work, and don't worry about time. We've got enough of custom content from the animation update and other updates XDHmm! A chart of incomprehensible techno-jargon? Obviously this is proof of hard work! Carry on!
I don't know much about 3d rendering and the related functions, but essentially we're going to reduce everything to a format that is easily rebuilt from raw data? Is there a function on 3d modeling software to do that, or will BB handle it? In any case, it's certainly more versatile than being tied to a single format.
I can understand it >.> (well following how charts are basically laid out this makes sense, unless kryal intends it to b e different, then i don't get it).
The single-color corruption has been fixed. I haven't been able to extensively test CLR to find other bugs, but it's possible your problem has been fixed. Do a quick test on the main menu and see. I changed the Group button to green but that was it. If it doesn't work send a file.
What OS are you using? If Vista or above try disabling Aero.
I had the same problem over my laptop, nd I had to use other pc's to get my smash workings in progress, but I got frustrated and try to fix it on my own

Do NOT post that here, create a thread.
Yeah, wrong place to post that buddy.
Wherever you want.
Oh yea, real helpful....
Seriously, put it wherever you want.
D: How do I USE it?
Well, I'd recommend you put it in it's own folder. Next, you'll have to extract the .zip you downloaded. After that, just run BrawlBox.exe and open up the file for Character Portraits and navigate your way through the file until you find the textures, which you extract and edit in an image editor.
Okay...Thanks
The plug-in for Blender that allows you to open .DAE models is junk, it's not really the best. You'll have to use a different program or find a way to convert it to a different format that Blender uses.
