FBX Import support has been added and FBX/OBJ can now export split normals (without the need for the edge split modifier).

Source: Blender 2.6.9 release notes

Merci pour l'info

Great news

"it has now" means for me that it is written. When will be the download updated? Can't wait for it

it's already there... Blender 2.69 was released on October 31, 2013

I see, got it wrong, I thought the Nadeo Importer would have now also FBX import for cars, because that would be really interesting for us... thx for the clarification.

ah, sorry to have confused you.

My misinterpretation, you didn't write it

Anyway, are there any plans to switch car import to FBX? Blender & DAE is working, but it's messy working on a rotated car.

In the longer term it also simplifies the Importer

Hey everyone! I have...

One Suggestion:
What about making it possible to define the path of the object in the XML file. I don't have all the data for multiple objects in one folder but have it nicely sorted in folders per object. This results in an folder per object ingame too. And when I move them manually after the import, Maniaplanet crashes to Desktop.

And two questions:
1. Do I have to make locator files for my textures too? (Pls say if it doesn't work like this at all :S)
2. How can I charge planets for stuff? The pack thing or whatever I remember from early beta, doesn't exist anymore if I'm right.

Greetings Frezap

Moin,

on import the path gets stored with the item. That´s why the game CTDs when you move the object´s folder to a different place.

re 1.
Why should/would you create locators for the textures? The game engine just looks for the needed textures in the objects texture subfolder.

re 2.
You can still create titles. Just press <PAGE UP> in title selection screen. A little menu will open at the bottom. There you can go for pack and title creation.

Thanks for the reply! I thought that it was titlepack only.

That it CTDs is pretty stupid...

In one titlepack (don't remember which one) I saw how objects were downloaded when I started a map. And generally it would be useful to let the client download stuff automatically.

Wait... how can i include objects in my packs when I can't chose any .shape.gbx files?! (Or... what am I doing wrong?!)
