no problem with the new 0.1.9 : : :and i used the swedish windown xp with å ä and ö (administratör) ^^
no idea what, but that problem is gone now so its history.
thx for the new version.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/852tbsrh50t0tee/jippi.JPG
can you script arc_ ? if you can, can you take a look at the script for autogen and try fix it. ?
BTW: å ä ö in english sounds like this.
Ã¥ = ohh.
ä = ehh.
ö = b(u)rn = u in burn is = ö. hehe.
edit: I did an object in blender and unwrap with texture "box.jpg"
I resize the cube x5 in blender, is that good. ?
And i have 3 box.dds dx 3, 5 and 1c but when i try it in tm2 it dont show and the green mark is stuck in center.
i can move it upp and down do ?, any suggestion. ?
this is just a test for me to get an own object working ?.

Now og og Coastkid, we are waiting for the new dunes block
Transparent blocks? Ehhh... useful for videos, useless for tracks, a troll can make a transparent wall to stop you from getting to the finish. It would make me so angry ^^

Transparent textures means that you can use alpha blending in materials, it uses in more then 50% of canyon blocks, so they are very useful.
If you meant the invisible blocks, they are possible to create from very first version of mpbc.

Hey, really nice work
However mpbc doesn't work for me, always getting:
ERROR: Expected model file "Personal\...\filename.gbx" doesn't exist.
I looked at the source code and found out, that mpbc is looking in the registry to find the install location:
"RegOpenKey ( HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, L"SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\ManiaPlanet_is1",
&hKey )"
However, i think this only works on 32 bit operating systems. I looked in my registry and couldn't find the registry key (Maniaplanet_is1 doesn't exist). However i could find the key in:
SOFTWARE\\WOW6432Node\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Uninstall\\ManiaPlanet_is1
regards, Alain
(going to copy the key into the correct folder or trying to rebuild your code, will report soon if it worked)
EDIT: can't create the key, because the registry tells me there is already a key with the same name present(although the keys are not in the same folder -.-) will need to rebuild the whole stuff

32-bit programs on a 64-bit Windows are automatically redirected to Wow6432Node; this counts for both TM2Unlimiter and ManiaPlanet itself. So by simply specifying the registry path *as if* you're on 32-bit Windows, your program works on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.
If you get an error saying "bla.Solid.gbx doesn't exist", that means the model conversion failed. Do you get any error messages during model conversion or does it not mention your file at all? In the latter case, can you send me your block files?

Looks like NadeoImporter crashes so early for you that it doesn't manage to convert a single model
. It crashes for me everytime too, but only after it has converted all the models, so I didn't think it would be much of an issue.
I'll investigate in more detail then. It's most likely a memory corruption caused by mpbc, which is sadly a type of bug that's very hard to track down.
