Re: Lights I/O

[Roger H. <rog...@mi...>]

I have modified my version of Quesa as Stephan requested but it seems 
no better.
If you would like to try it, in E3FFW_3DMFBin_Writer.c, line 542 reads:

					qd3dStatus = 
Q3Uns32_Write(instanceData->stack[i].objectType,theFile);

If you change this (yes I know its a horrible way to do it) to:

					{
					if ( instanceData->stack[i].objectType == kQ3LightData )
						qd3dStatus = Q3Uns32_Write ( kQ3ShapeTypeLight, theFile ) ; // To 
allow light data objects to be read by QD3D
					else
						qd3dStatus = 
Q3Uns32_Write(instanceData->stack[i].objectType,theFile);
					}

  Then this produces the requested data in the output file.

I think the other problem may be that the light is in a 'container' 
which QD3D does
not expect, but I have no idea how to get rid of the container, it 
seems everything
in Quesa has to be in a container whether you want it or not.
