Title: acReader for the AC3D files
Post by: Xjazz on March 23, 2007, 06:29:33 AM

Hi

I coded with Craven's (from http://www.blenderartist.org forum) kind help a .ac file reader script. You can find a script from here (http://www.warezhouze.1g.fi//Here/Blender3d/acReader1b1.pyc).

The script needs a python installed to your pc.
http://www.python.org/download/


The script creates a text report from given .ac file:

(http://www.warezhouze.1g.fi//Here/Blender3d/acReader_report.gif)

Note! The script and the source .ac file must be in same folder.

There are two options:
- writing just the .ac file name (without extension) will give a simplyfied report just with names and properties.
- writing the .ac file name (without extension) with '+' mark right after the name will give a full report, like in picture.

You get a vertices, surfaces, material and texture names per object. The A-tag after the texture name means a  related alpha.bmp file found and the number tells the transparent color palette index number.

Title: Stand-alone version for the pure win users

Hi

Here is the stand-alone acReader1b2 program for the windows.
http://www.warezhouze.1g.fi/Here/AC3D/acReader.zip

Just unzip file to the HTC/aheditor/export  folder and run acReader1b2.exe from there.

This  program has a same functions than previous python .py script, plus this one will open the text report automatically with your default .txt editing program.

The exe with needed files is compiled with py2exe (http://www.py2exe.org/).
