Can't Import older VXL files.

[Gordon228]

While the importing of VXL files is fine and all it can't import all forms of VXL files as some of the first to use that format were in fact Command & conquer: Tiberrian sun and red alert 2. thus it can not open all VXL files. also the app just crashes when you try.
bike.zip

I confirm that it crashes when I try to open this file. I'll have a look.

Do you know of an editor that can actually open this file? If possible running on linux?

[mgerhardy]

vengi-voxedit can open it

[mgerhardy]

oh btw. the formats don't have anything in common except the file extension.
I've written imhex patterns if you are interested: https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex-Patterns/blob/master/patterns/ccvxl.hexpat

Nice. I'll see if I can try it out when I get time. I am always confused about all the different "slab" formats.

[mgerhardy]

In fact this is no slab6 file. C&C just used the same file extension. But it’s totally different and not related to Ken Silvermans slab formats

I checked a bit (from here: http://xhp.xwis.net/documents/VXL_Format.txt). It seems the format allows to set a normal per voxel, but this is currently not supported by goxel. If I implement the format it will change the look of the models I am afraid. Is it still worth it?
