# vvmtool
## Inter Quake Model & VVM Exporter
This is the exporter for our extended model format (**VVM**). It's based off IQM and to
some extent is backwards compatible (this was done so that editors capable of
displaying IQM files would *just work*, however it depends on how the loader is written.
These days, you can find an updated version of this tool inside the [FTE SRC](https://sourceforge.net/p/fteqw/code/HEAD/tree/), however
it has grown to become much more than a model exporter and become less portable as a result.
It can export both standard IQM files and our extended format for use in FTEQW.
For those reasons, we are preserving our version of the original, extended tool here.
It exports plain .IQM files, as well as .VVM files.

It will be updated if we make changes to our format, those will also be pushed upstream to FTE's tool.
# Features
Features that the original IQM exporter did not offer:
* Support for external configuration files for IQM generation (ala studiomdl)
* Pre-processor for rotating single or all input files
* Pre-processor for translating/repositioning single or all input files
* Pre-processor for renaming bones inside a single or all input files
* Pre-processor for material prefixes inside a single or all input files
Some features that our extended specification (VVM) has to offer:
* Support for hitmeshes for faster, content-aware collision detection
* Automatic hitmesh generation
* Submodels that allow showing/hiding specific groups of the model via the game-logic
* Support for frame triggered events that can be read by the game-logic (model-events)
* Level-of-detail range flag for references/sub-models
* User-defined surface and contentflags per reference/sub-model
**NOTE: Using any of the VVM features is not supported in any engine other than FTEQW**
