NWN compDcomp is a front end for Torlack's model decompiler and compiler for Neverwinter Nights. This is to help in converting mdl's from binary to ASCII and ASCII to binary. It can be ran both ways. With the simplicity of two simple buttons. Since the mdl binary format isn't supported by most modeling programs, you will need to convert them from binary to ASCII which is supported by almost all modeling programs. And since it would only make sense to change a ASCII file to binary for ease of game play, it can do the recompiling as well. We decided that Torlack had done a fine job with his compiler/decompiler, that with a little help we could make it much more user friendly. That we have done. .
Now with updated program Version 1.03. Added right-mouse click menu to the file list box for copy, rename and delete.
Sparhok: Your wish is granted! I added three new options in version 1.03: Copy, Rename and Delete. WARNING! You use these options at your own risk! Be sure you make a backup copy of the *.mdl files first.

I have a feeling this is going to turn into a MDL Manager prog :) One idea I have is a quick way to rename an mdl....The use would enter the new name into a text field and then all it would have to do is get the file name...then open the file and replace all instances of the file name with the text entered in the text field. Then it would rename the mdl itself. :) I use ObsidianSS right now but that takes too long too load...dunno why, proly coz it has so many features.

If anyone has more suggestions that you want to see in this program, please post them here. I have already added some new things, like choosing the source and destination directories, and tool tips (help messages) that appear when the mouse is held over a button for about 1/2 second. If you want more functionality just let me know.

Ice-Child Suedomsa Mel, Very cool, Im working on getting out a cross-platform java version of a GUI for this as soon as I get the converters ported to Java. Maybe in a few weeks, then the linux folks will be able to play too :)

Thanks to all. It worked great as it was. But got tired of using comand prompt. So Mel made a front end for us. But he made a newer one yet. Only thing is we need Maximus to resend the password so I can update it with the latest and greatest version. You will like thenew one even better. Rob A.K.A.Ice-Child
