To import a model, please see the documentation here: wiki:Importer and consult/seek help in the Importer, tools & Utilities board.Unfortunately, the links to the importer's training manual do not work, please replace them with working ones.
After you finish importing and tweaking your model, you should export it as an otx package, to make the installation easy for other users.
To pack the model, please first create a thumbnail image for it, giving it the same name as the objdef, but with the gif extension. The thumbnail file should be a gif image in resolution 64x36.
Then, inside the game, go to the object window, select the model and press export. You will be asked to select the destination folder where the Outerra model package file will be written. The file name will be in the format package.nickname.otx
The otx file contains your zipped model with all the necessary files. Anteworld registers itself as a handler of otx files, so other users just have to click on the file and let it be installed by Anteworld automatically.

These developers deliberately deleted the file converter, now it doesn't work. If you try to click on the importer's window, a MicroProse advertisement pops up, in which there is not a single word about the release date of the Outerra World Sandbox. In general, this long-term construction game is very likely to never come out.

maybe something bigger than periodic update of the demo is in the oven soIt's 2025 now, and the developers haven't done anything, so I really doubt we'll wait for the release of this long-term game. |

I agree with you, we haven't heard news from the developers of the game for a couple of years. Will cooperation with Microprose give them a new impetus to bring the game to mind?https://discord.gg/4nvEQFvd |

OK thanksHello, fly77, are you completely missing, are you ill by any chance? I'm very tired today trying to install this game, now I'll wait for the drivers for the video card to download and try again. These developers deliberately deleted the file converter, now it doesn't work. If you try to click on the importer's window, a MicroProse advertisement pops up, in which there is not a single word about the release date of the Outerra World Sandbox. In general, this long-term construction game is very likely to never come out. |

Outerra Engine / Ideas & Suggestions & Questions / Exciting Al NPC Feature Idea for Outerra World Sandbox

Dear Outerra Team,
I hope you’re doing well! I wanted to take a moment to say how excited I am about Outerra World Sandbox and its incredible potential. The game’s planet-scale terrain and realistic environments make it truly stand out, and I have an idea that I believe could enhance the experience even further. AI NPCs with Custom Personalities & Voice Interaction I’d love to see intelligent AI NPCs added to the game, allowing players to: Customize NPCs before spawning them, including clothing, names, and personality settings. Have realistic conversations with them, just like how AI chatbots (such as ChatGPT) work. Ride in vehicles with NPC passengers, making travel feel more immersive. Set personality traits (e.g., friendly, sarcastic, adventurous) that influence how they interact. Enable voice synthesis, so NPCs can actually talk out loud instead of just using text. Allow speech recognition, so players can communicate with NPCs using their microphone. Why This Would Be a Game-Changer This would make Outerra feel like a true living world, where NPCs aren’t just static figures but real, interactive companions. Players could have custom AI friends, passengers, and explorers, making the world feel more alive and personalized. Ensuring a Safe & Balanced Experience Since the game is teen-friendly, the AI system could include: Chat filters to block inappropriate language Behavior restrictions to prevent harmful actions Age-based AI interactions, so younger players get simpler, safe conversations A Standout Feature for Outerra With sandbox realism and AI-driven NPCs, Outerra could set itself apart as one of the most immersive and intelligent open-world games ever made. If mod support is included, players could even create custom AI personalities for endless possibilities. I truly believe this feature could attract more players, enhance immersion, and create an unforgettable experience. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this, and I appreciate all the hard work your team is putting into Outerra. Thank you for your time, and I can’t wait to see what’s next for the game! Best regards, Samuel Miller |

Thank you KW71! 👌👍🙂I'm going to delete this non-working game from my computer, I'm tired of messing with it. There is someone here who knows about Outerra World Sandbox, as I understand it, we should be given the keys to this (those who paid 15 dollars) game.Kamen hasn't said anything yet, but two days ago he told me that everything should get better in the coming months. I was eventually able to install the game, now I'm interested in how to connect the joystick to the game and do an in-game review using TrackIR5. |

Why can't I log into the game itself even though I received a message that the installation was successful? What kind of idiotic forum is it unclear how to write messages here? |

Greetings fly77, it's been a long time since we corresponded, I even forgot the password from this forum and couldn't log in here, today I talked to the local administration and I was registered again. I haven't picked up a 3D editor for a long time and have already forgotten a lot, but now I have a lot of free time and I'm thinking about doing 3D modeling again, I thought my Lützow model was lost, but today I was reviewing the contents of folders on disks and found my favorite Lützow. Now my first priority plans are to make a 3D model of the submarine 945 of the Barracuda project, or according to you, "Sierra-I". It was the best boat in the world for its time, and even now it is not inferior to modern boats. Its hull is made of titanium, so it is not afraid of rust. Anyway, I want to ask you if you can help me make it playable for Outerra Anteworld? My father built this boat. He worked at this factory until his retirement, and when I was in school, he invited me to the factory to look at the boats in the workshops.I remember how angry I was at the officials of that time who were sorry to allocate money for the completion of the last boat of the series and let it be used for scrap. |
