Get it here: http://files.filefront.com/TOXECzip/;10 ... einfo.html I'm still working some kinks out and Ill be adding .xsi file format support to get bones for animations working. Right now it only supports creation of static meshes. If you don't know about it, TOXEC is "The Obj to Xmodel_Export Converter". Basically you use the modeling program of your choice, export the model to .obj then use this tool on it to get a functional .xmodel_export file. If you spot any bugs that arent listed in the readme.txt please be sure to let me know. Thanks!

I'm just interested in making simple static meshes, so I'm not worried about the lack of animation support. I see myself having a strange workflow, where I rough out ASEs in Radiant and then import and detail them into Blender, and then export them back into CoD4 again. But I think that's the only for me to have a grasp on scale, at first. Wish I had more time sooner, but I'll try to report back on how I fare using this tool this weekend. Thanks for your efforts.

There's something I talked about in the original thread posted on Infinity Ward's forums that I failed to mention here and on the readme.txt There's an issue where you have to name the Material entry in Ass Man a certain name or the texture wont get applied to the model and you'll probably get an error when trying to convert the xmodel entry. When naming your Material entry you need to name it texturename_col. For instance, if I had a texture named redbrown_wood.tga I would make the entry in Ass Man named redbrown_wood_col

This will fix current known bugs and add support for skeletal structures (animations). Pretty kickass if you ask me.

It's kind of a long story but the CoD 4 modding community got broken up and the remainder pretty much gave me a big "fuck you" so I stopped working on anything CoD related.
