ASE to MD3 or GLM file converter

This is an executable that can be run to convert ASE format models to MD3 and GLM format. This was a tool originally released by Raven for Soldier of Fortune 2 for the making of static models so when making GLM models it will not write any bone animation or envelope weight data. This tool can be particularly useful to those who are using 3d software that has no MD3 format export support.

Included are instructions on how to use the program in PDF format.

There are two different model formats used in SoF2, MD3 and Ghoul2. MD3 is used

primarily for static models and have an extension of .md3. Ghoul2 models are used for

ConfusEd entities (for SP), bolt-ons and characters andhave the .glm format. Ghoul2

models also have two different methods of being built, one with bones, and the other

without. Ghoul2 with bones are used for models that require animations (characters and

some ConfusEd models). Ghoul2 without bones are used for non-animated models

such as bolt-ons.

This document gives no explanation on actually modelingobjects. If you are new to

putting models into a game, start with MD3s, as they are far less complex than Ghoul2

models. Also, we use 3DS Max 4 for model creation and our supplied plug-ins work with

Max 4. All following instructions assume Max is being used in the creation of models
