Extracting M3 Scripting

Post by Pyro »

Anyone know of a way to extract scripting out of a Myth 3 mesh?

This much I know: the M3 map format is very similar to the M2 map format. So much that Ballistic docs and/or Flying Flip docs say that in order to script M3 maps, you must use Loathing (as if it's a M2 map). So I'm guessing with a little ingenuity and some prying, you should be able to load the M3 map into Loathing. (You might have to create a bunch of placeholders though.)

Then once it's in Loathing, export the script.

Unless someone has a better approach.

yeah looks like it might not be quite as simple as I at least would like. here's some related comments from a discussion about scripting M3 maps from a familiar dead forum. ** I can't verify the accuracy as I haven't tried this**

ps. And yes, I save almost +everything+.

What I'd like to do is look at the scripts used in Myth 3 to better understand certain actions that were derived from there into M2. To understand how some of these actions and parameters were used.
