Subject description: A small patch that allows importing MagicaVoxel voxels into VXLSE3		 Reply with quote
DISCLAIMER: This patch is far from ideal and was made as a quick bandaid solution to allow myself to use a modern tool to create voxels. I wasn't originally going to post it here in an unfinished state (it is available on Mod Haven discord for some time), but since some people asked me about it - here you go.

VXLSE 3 1.39 mod to import from MagicaVoxel
mod made by me, get the MV here https://ephtracy.github.io/

there are new menu entries in Edit and Section -> New menus, here's how to use them:

YR Temperate palettes with purple remap (so that palette colors won't replace simple red colors, be sure to check for mismatched colors after importing anyway)
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/290905211344781312/606218776370872329/unittem_new.pal <-- use in VXLSE when importing
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/290905211344781312/606219055245819914/unittem_new.pal.png <-- load that one in MagicaVoxel

Hit me up if you need your .pal to be converted to MagicaVoxel palette, since I didn't yet pack my tool to be redistributed. Also sadly MagicaVoxel is limited to 126^3 voxels, but it's still great for doing small voxels!

also if you need backwards importing to MagicaVoxel - I didn't yet write anything for this, but https://blackflux.com/node/11 <-- this editor can import VXLs and export into MagicaVoxel format. though all unused colors are lost while doing this. this is fixable by manually arranging those colors that are left in MagicaVoxel's pallette according to WW's pallete (or the one you'd be using) and then loading the palette manually

bandaid but oh well

For everyone who never expected Kerbiter would make a template for MagicaVoxel, you're all wrong Razz i wasn't surprised myself but excellent work btw!

I'm surprised no one has merged the java sources from voxelshop which can read both formats, and either turn it into a locally launched java app or hosted for a browser to upload and convert somewhere...

I already made a voxel slicer so I have a good bead on WW format, and aside from MV having odd cube sections of canvas as opposed to one unified canvas, the format doesn't look hard. The only difficult part as mentioned in the palette conversion, though there too a simple lookup table like a cscheme might work?

the best way to do it would be to integrate reading/writing of MagicaVoxel files into VXLSE3 itself, but damn, Delphi is just so uninviting to code with...

Just to point out, I've just integrated this feature to revision 579. So,at least, we have something in the official beta of VXLSE III now.
