Quote: Bobby's words-
I've found a way to speed up streaming to listener, for gmax users. Turns out a jms file doesn't need as many newline characters as were being exported. I replaced them with tabs, except the ones which finish loops, and tool accepts this, which makes for a much faster streaming to the listener window, particularly with large exports. The only difference 3ds users will see is an edit box for checksum. JMS_Exporter_v1-0-3b.ms
to write 2376 faces, it takes
before: 2.75 seconds to file, 87s to listener (31.63 times as long)
after: 2.75 seconds to file, 5.1s to listener (1.85 times as long)

Question: Is that vertex weights button really needed? Is there a case when you'd want to export something skinned without weights? I don't see it's use, when the script already checks to see if a skin modifier is present.


edit: New link, new script. I remade it, since I lost the 103b version, and can't find a working link. Exports regions (face selection sets), marker radius, and reduced newline usage for faster streaming to listener for gMax users. And I tweaked it a wee bit more for kicks. Not necisarily done yet eather. We'lll see
