Support for Milkshape 3D
Brought to you by:

Milkshape 3D is a popular format for models and I thought maybe you would consider adding support for the .ms3d format as an import option when you overhaul the Model editor (which I believe you said you may do in a forum post...can't be sure.)
All the information about the format and the program itself are at:

If you are interested, I can also create a couple of models for you in this format and give them to you to experiment with.
Thanks for your time!
I have no plans to overhaul the model editor. I've given it a little overhaul to add the walking support but that is as far as I can go :S I would love to add support for lots of model formats including md3, md5 etc but again I've got limited time. This is an area of the engine that is reasonably modular so if some other programmer could supply loading and rendering code it would be a lot more straightforward to find the time to add the support. Of course another option is to export md2 models from milkshape, I know md2 is an old format but at least its an option :)
Hmmm. My coding isn't the best in the world, but maybe I can figure out and help you out. I tried to the .md2 to export, but got funny crashes from Milkshape 3D (probably cause I don't know how to compile md2s properly.)
Will see what I can do.
