Epic Store has the whole Bioshock Collection for free at the moment: https://store.epicgames.com/de/bundles/bioshock-the-collection Just wow.

Thought I'd share what I've been working on lately. While my mapping days are behind me, TDM still is still an inspiration for many of the fantasy illustrations I do in my free time. Here's a few that should look somewhat familiar:

FullName is a custom property you can set on a material in Blender, which will be used during export instead of the actual Blender material name. Since custom properties do not have the 63 character limit (I haven't established if they have any limit, but it is definitely larger than 63), this allows you to enter the complete TDM material name to bake into the mesh if it wouldn't otherwise fit in the standard Blender material name.

No offence, but why don't you simply post all your questions in the Newbie thread ? I dare saying that you won't make friends here if you repeatedly point out the shortcomings of the mod when - according to your own account - you do not even plan to finish a mission. This is then extremely bad project management and anyone who is seriously interested in creating DM missions must think about appropriate backups and versions. You can read here what longtime contributor Orbweaver has to say on that topic. His tone might be a bit too harsh, but he's basically right. Don't get me wrong, I admire how you've been digging into this for the past few weeks, but you're overshooting the mark a bit here. It might also be a good idea if you took a few days off. I have the impression that you're already going in the direction of burnout. You should prevent this if you really want to provide an interesting mission we all can enjoy.

ASE exporter now supports FullName as well. Note that I have combined the two export scripts into a single tdm_export.py which supports both formats. This allows common code to be shared without copy-pasting. If you have an existing version of the ASE or LWO single-format scripts, you will probably want to uninstall this before installing tdm_export in order to avoid conflicts.

Every day is just like the 4 Non Blondes song. What IS going on?
