I made a video showing how you can use the dae2dts tool to export to Blockland from most 3D modeling packages.
Link to dae2dts tool.

so do dsq/embedded animations work with the new blender?

it would be amazing if i didnt have to rely on old blender for it

[Punchbuggy]

It will work with anything that can export to .dae while supporting animation, which is pretty much everything.

I'm pretty sure this is the only thing made with any capability to import dts files.

Alright, I'll still try out how good it is at exporting though

Pretty neat, but i'll probaby stick to using the new blender exporter and milkshape as an alternative

Key frames and flat/selective shading/joints do not work in Sketchup, which renders this useless for most sketch up users

I think this was mainly for using the new blender

Well for some reason wings3d and Sketchup are shown on the list of programs on that image. I don't think either of them utilize torque-comparable flatshading

Updated main post to reflect known issues.

So I tried working with a new model only to be met with errors galore with object meshes having no matching details. Any idea of what I need to do?

[Punchbuggy]

Going to need more to go on, what program are you using, what specifically are the errors, etc...

The Program I use is Cinema4D. Didn't have this issue on the previous model I posted in the 3D Modelling topic.
