F. Decompile for Milkshape Import

F1. Launch ObjTool.

  1. Clicking the EllaMeshTutorial 257.png button, will prompt for the MLOD resource file we exported from s3pe earlier, and will load the file on screen and provide you some information.

  2. Click EllaMeshTutorial 258.png button – you"ll be prompted for the filename to decompile.
  3. EllaMeshTutorial 02.png
    Once we selected the file we wanted – click EllaMeshTutorial 307.png, a lot more files will appear in the folder as seen here.

    You would get the "No Errors" confirmation when decompilation is completed.
  5. Repeat this step for the other MLOD and MODL files – making sure each MODL/MLOD file is in its own folder before decompiling. If you"ve messed up and decompiled 2 MODL/MLOD files together, just delete all the files except for the *MLOD.lod / *MODL.model and start over.

The screenshot with the version number shows an old version of the OBJTool, Wes has since updated it.
