Description: Source code (released under the GNU General Public License)
for the Milkshape import plugin DLL for Freelancer (CMP format) models.

Note: This program was written using Borland's C++ Builder 6. As it
makes heavy use of Borland's VCL (Visual Control Library), it is
unlikely that you will be able to compile this program without C++
Builder.

After a few requests, I've finally gotten around to packaging the source
code for the Freelancer model importer DLL for Milkshape that I wrote.
I'm releasing it under the GPL license so anyone can play with it,
update it for later Milkshape versions, etc.

It was written using Borland's C++ Builder 6 compiler, and makes heavy
use of Borland-specific classes, so it is unlikely that you will be able
to compile this unless you have that product. However, if you do have
it, everything you need is in the source tree, including a Borland C++
Builder port of the DevIL image library that I used for texture image
format conversions.

The source code is available in the download area, filed under
Miscelaneous/Freelancer.


In order to build the import plugin you need to:


# Unpack the source tree

# Unpack DevIL.ZIP (located in the source tree under extras) into [c++builder]\projects\source

# Load DevIL.bpg, located in [c++builder]\projects\source\DevIL\projects\bcb and build DevIL.lib

# Load msCMPImporter.bpg, located wherever you unpacked the source tree, and build the plugin.


Please feel free to email me <kfitzner@excelcia.org> with any questions
or comments. I'll answer as best I can.
