I was surfing the net and came across this site for A6 gamestudio. Low and behold about halfway down the page was a MAYA to MDL download. It has a MEL script (which allows for frame per frame name animations which I guess changes it to ascii code. Along with the MDL converter exe with some decent documentation. Please download this and give it a try and if it does work, spread it around. I know there are quite a few of us who prefer MAYA in building custom content and have been looking for a tool like this for some time. Here is the link for the gamestudio download page below: http://www.conitec.net/a4update.htm the file(s) zipped are about halfway down the page This is the actual file link ( if it works) http://www.conitecserver.com/down/maya_mdl5_export_v5.zip There is also a MAYA PLE version Hope this works out, give it a try.

This is a compilation of the old system into a single score. There were 2 that made this score of 3.50 then rounded to 4.

I don't think there's any doubt about it. NWN's MDL format *IS* a proprietary format.
I've personally used about 3 or 4 different 3D model file formats that used the MDL extension, but none of them were compatible. It's just a popular extension for 3D MoDeLs. Who knows why. ;)

I have posted this on the NWN forums also and have recieved some feedback ( thx Danmar). The info I have recieved so far may suggest that bioware's MDL format is proprietary and this script/exe might not work. I only posted this as a test for those with MAYA who might have some spare time and want to try it out. I am only the finder of this NOT the author. Any testing that works out (or not) you'll prolly want to post here. BTW the Pic I posted is from Bungie's old game Myth 2 soulblighter, which I would love to integrate characters or scenarios for NWN custom content. THX, Soknik
