XGrinder File Convert Problems....

[Hawk UK]

Hi guys.

XGrinder won't convert my .obj or .3ds files anymore; I can't understand it because it was working like a dream a couple of weeks ago, now it says it has converted them but the converted files just don't appear in the designated folders xgrinder indicates, and when I try a file search they are knowhere to be found???

I've also tried re-installing the xplane tools suit but still no joy..... Grrrr!!! This is SO frustrating!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Regards,

Hawk.

From my experince with X-Grinder, the target file is in the same directory as the source file when you drag-and-drop stuff. (OBJ7->OBJ8, PNG->DDS, etc.)

Not there I assume?

Hi Chris, Redfisher...... It's okay, I got the heads up from Ben Supnik on the XGrinder..... Quote: "The "OBJ" format listed in Xgrinder/ObjConverter is (confusingly) X-Plane's OBJ format - Xgrinder can convert X-PLane OBJ 7 to X-Plane OBJ8. It does not convert wavefront OBJ files. The grinder should in theory convert simple 3DS files" He also hinted that if .3DS files are failing to convert, that it could be due to XGrinders age and might need updating.

Yes your right, Chris... That is supposed to be what happens, But no converted files were showing up in the said same directory. I now know that I was trying to convert a .obj file which XGrinder cannot do; Xgrinder can only convert from .obj7 to .obj8 in the .obj files; Other conversions as above, and the DDS conversions as you stated....

I'm Using Windows 7 Ultimate X64.
