I'm just stopping by to say "Hi" and "welcome" - on how you convert to .dat will depend on a few things, use of a special python script for one and what format our models originally came in!
Somebody with more knowledge than me will be along shortly, of that I guarantee!

Hi & welcome to the boards! You need to have python 2.5 on your system - the scripts are not compatible with python 3 yet, sorry!
look in here:
http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/ool ... onverters/
You need to grab the .py files. The .app ones only work in OSX.
They work extremely well with Wings 3D obj files, & afaik they should also work ok with obj files saved from Blender too. Earlier versions of those scripts had some problems with Blender saved files....

This is all quit confused. I dont really get why people are suggesting you learn python. There are some ready built python scripts (see post by kaks) which you can run to convert your files. I dont do modelling, so I cannot really advise, but its going to be something like .
I dont know what format files you want to convert to dat, but there are several scripts, which seem to suit most people.
You no more need to learn python than you need to learn objective-c to run oolite
Code: Select all
python Mesh2Dat.py filename
