xsi importer/converter

[Josiah]

ok, I still haven't been able to find something that opens bz2 xsi files! This is VERY annoying. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo happy.

ThreeD (BZ2ME) opens XSI files. Don't save with it, it's only a viewer.

Notepad is best for editing.

There is also 3d exploration wich can open xsi files and save them as .3ds for importing into max.

Were can I find this program? I have looked for it, but haven't had any luck.

if I open a xsi file, and if I don't edit it, will I be able to save them as .3ds, and have an uncorupted file?

Blender can export xsi files but not import them.

yes, I know Blender can export, but no import. I want to import the bz2 xsi files. I can export till doomsday with the program I am using, but I can't import the darn things!

Uuum, I dunno where i got mine, google search it.

as for threed, it can only save as xsi.

yeah, I searched for it too, and came up with a bunch of dead links. haven't tried torrent though...

I really don't know how often I'm going to keep linking this.  I seem to be the only one who remembers it exists.

Those are installers for various trial versions of 3D Exploration.

The version that worked the best as i recall was 3DE 1.5.5 version which i have if you still want it...
Are you going to do some mod work in bz2?

I am seeing what I like and dislike about Bz2. So far, Bz2 whips the tar out of Bz1 when it comes to custom stuff and graphics, but I think Bz1's gameplay was a little better. But that can be fixed, because of the customization capacity of Bz2.

Bz has 8 and 16bit graphics, Bz2 can use 24 and 32bit and has a two year newer renderer not to mention Bz2 can use larger and more textures.

This is not the same xsi that BZ2 uses.

[Warfreak]

OvermindDL1 developed a pretty decent .xsi exporter that was made to export the exact version BZ2 uses.

[Dianoga4]

Yes he was working on it but as far as I've seen, no one has been able to get it to work.
