SKP to MDL/X converter?

[~Void~]

I have a bunch of nice models I made or downloaded for Google SketchUp, and I want to convert them to MDL/X or any file format really (anything else I can convert to MDL/X) so I can use them in maps/terrains etc. Does anyone know of a program that can do this, or is willing to make one for me? Will give shitloads of rep.

I was sooooo close to figuring it out, first I exported my sketchup model to a google earth model, then I changed that file into a .zip simply by changing its file name. I then extracted the files. I downloaded something called FBX converter, in which I converted the .dae file in the models section of the extracted file into both a .OBJ file and then downloaded something called quick3d. I opened the file in it then saved it as a .mdl file.

But then, when I used the MdlxConv to convert it to a .mdx, it said Line 1: Chunk missing. If you can figure a way around that and post it, you are so damn awesome.

I don't think you need to change it to MDX... do you?

I was planning on converting it to an mdx so i could look at it in warcraft viewer to see if it worked properly.

I could do it, but only if you could find an SKP to OBJ/FBX/3DS or similar format converter.

SketchUp comes with a SKP to Google Earth File converter, and I'm pretty sure you can convert Google Earth Files to other formats more easily, but I'll look into it. SketchUp Pro comes with a SKP to 3DS converter, but I don't have the pro version because it costs money

I think there's a SKP to XML converter too.

EDIT: Ok, I got my hands on SketchUp Pro, so here's a bunch of 3DS files.

you need all of them or some in specifica cause they are too many.

Too many? Can't they be converted one by one? :/

 

[Seabovine]

You can convert the files to .obj or .3ds if you export your file as google earth (.kmz) then just rename it as filename.zip, then you extract the .zip file and use the FBX converter to change the .dae file that is in the unzipped file into a .obj or .3ds file

Well thanks but I already did that

I need the 3DS to MDL.

 

[Seabovine]

so far the only thing that has gotten .3ds into .mdl is quick3d, but when i tried to convert the .mdl to .mdx, it didn't work

 

[metal_13]

get the pro version of Google SketchUp... you can save them as .3ds, etc...

Where are the textures?
I will convert them, but you should do a bunch of MDL editing in order to apply the textures correctly.

 

[~Void~]

Well, the textures were already on the models in the .SKP format...

I don't know anything at all about MDL editing, so if someone could do all this for me, that's kinda what this thread is about ;P

I wrote a 3DS converter for sketchup (does not convert textures / uvmap coordinates cause I never finished it), might upload it tonight if you want.

Once you got the 3ds files, just use http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/resource.php?t=62950

is the attached file 3DS the 3d program? I mean the real one because it costs 3000$ or something ?
