Well he can put the OUTERRA folder anywhere he likes. I am just saying put the program and data installs in separate folders, in one folder, not both in the same folder.. if that makes sense.

Any news on adding easier ways to import models, i.e. selecting multiple bones easier etc.

Again about lods, in the wiki importer article there's instruction how to use them - 
Quote
Every separate object in COLLADA file has to have corresponding root node with object name. In the second hierarchy level you can define LOD levels, these levels are optional but you should use them because they help a lot with performance. Currently we support 4 LODs, these LOD parents names have to start with LOD0.., LOD1..., LOD2..., LOD3..., COLLISION... the last will be used as a collision mesh.

but it the LOD0 seems not used in current version. I made a lod test object, and LOD0 is always visible with the base object



EDIT: I received an explanation of the LoD system from Angrypig, the system works as it should, LOD0 is a base object.

I have a question about the LOD. after importing all levels set to the same material, the way it should be?

test object in SketchUp (cube.dae, 90Kb):

I think that first jump happened a little soon. Is that settable in the model or is that an engine thing?

I could not find how to manually specify the required distances to switch LOD. but it is quite a small object (1 x 1 х 1 m), large object distance is much greater.

You can specify LoD distances editing object's .objdef file:

Why would different geometry of the object made to be as "tire" for a vehicle has a different animation depending on the geometry type?

What do you mean, a different animation? Btw there's also an optional "rotation" parameter in the wheel structure, that allows you to invert the direction of rotation of tire.

I'l make a video later with some simple examples... using the same code.. depending on the geometry type of the tire, if its a cylinder it will flip, it is a pipe it will spin around the vehicle, and depending on other things like distance between the vehicle and the tire.. it can behave also different, like going to the ground or other stuff.

There is a video on youtube where Cameni shows you how to do that.Do search of "Outerra Importer and Scripting (alpha)" on youtube, it is a 15 min video, check it out.

^Thank you!

I got my buggy model to work a bunch of times, but now that I have UV-mapped it (poorly) and exported it with the texture, it crashes Outerra when it is importing, right after I select the bones. Does anyone know why it would suddenly crash after I UV mapped everything?

Here is the exported file and texture:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7HvAaesoA1CYVNYME9xdGJVRm8/edit?usp=sharing

You will probably have to change the texture path, because it will not be the same as on my computer. I don't know the correct syntax for setting up a relative path. I think it's just /folderwithmodel but I'm not sure.

It is a bug in importer, something wrong with material names. Thanks for the report i will try to fix it to the next update.

Try to use material names without spaces for now...
