Hmm I'll have to re-think how I write the interface cause your methods would definitely be more efficient than whatever I write. Of course there is the possibility of just scrapping the interface entirely and just learn your API (lol), but I don't know I think writing "read('i')" everywher...

Hmm can you see what's wrong with my string-making function. I get this exception "TypeError: sequence item 1: expected str instance, bytes found" string = "" char = self.inFile.read_char() #self.inFile = StructReader while char != "\x00": string = ''.join([string, char...

In actually drawing a model in any API, you must also know the material at the time you're putting the triangles on the screen. Which part of the code does that? So for example this is the load function that I use def noepyLoadModel(data, mdlList): ctx = rapi.rpgCreateContext() #create custom parse...

Did you find a way to skip past the section at least?
Maybe leave half the file alone until you hit enlightenment or something

Ah, that's how you load textures and add them to the list.
Great, I can probably get something working.

Nice tutorial, followed it and the samples that came with noesis while writing a template The template is pretty much just me copying code from Sanae3D though, only because I'm used to it, and I like to use a lot of functions or methods. At least that way, I can re-use functions quickly without havi...

I quickly scrolled through it and saw nice floats and all, but then I suddenly came across



Which I can't imagine what it might be.

Oh I see, I got it. When assigning materials, is it possible to first create meshes and then "go back" to assign materials? For example when I'm parsing mesh section I get a matIndex that tells me which material it uses, but then the material section comes after all of the meshes have been...

If there is no easy way to identify a file format other than by extension, should I bother making it a dedicated format module?
Also, how do I check a file's extension if I wanted to verify both header and extension?

I looked at the mdl files but am not sure if it was extracted properly (maybe it is not just a simple xor?)

I think someone that is not too familiar with binary reading/writing would probably look at it and go "so...it's reading 20 integers?" But maybe I'm assuming too little of people that will actually be writing plugins. I've never actually asked anyone what they would think when they see suc...
