Models sharing
« on: May 16, 2013, 11:31:51 am »

There are several models being shared and they are really nice but most are not using the otx format maybe there should be a post-it on the mods forum with either this link:
http://xtrac.outerraworld.com/trac.fcgi/wiki/Importer

or at least:
Quote
When you import your model, a folder under packages/yourname/ in OT data dir is created. You will probably have to edit several of the generated files there.

Once the model is ready, you should 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.

To package the model, please go to the object window, select the model and press export. You will be asked to select the destination folder where the Outerra model file will be written. The file 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.
