Does anyone here have access to Cygnus Win32? Reason for asking is that I've made a few slight improvements to Hippie's extractor/builder. Hippie wants me to release an update, but I do not have Cugnus Win32, and do not feel like the huge download and install, just for a one shot compile, as I'm not into Win programming at all (my update runs under Linux.)

Anyone feel like helping in this?

I don't have what you're looking for, but I just wanted to jump in and ask if you could briefly outline the changes you've made... in layman's terms, ofcourse :-)

Sure JT.

The original builder/extractor had a number of hard coded limitations. There are still some there, but the ones I've fixed are:

Comment sections (where you add property lists) may now be of arbitrary length (were originally limited to 4k.)

LODs were limited to 4000 polygons and 12000 vertices. Not a particilarly restrictive limitation, but I removed it none the less.

DOFs had a limitation of 2k for property lists, a limit that has been removed.

I also fixed a few programming errors, such as forgetting to close files. This *might* have mattered if you have a .sm with huge amounts of LODs, but I'm not sure.

The reason for the fix was yours truly being bitten by the 4k limit for comment sections.

Send the stuff to me if all else fails and I'll compile it up for you.
