Usage

Importing 3DO model

1. Go to File > Import > Sith Game Engine 3D Model (.3do)
2. Find and select *.3do model file
3. Import options
   In the opened import dialog window you have import options under Import 3DO section (bottom left). Here you can check/uncheck different options and set path to the folder containing texture files (.mat) and ColorMap file (.cmp)
   
   Note: By default addon tries to find required texture(s) and ColorMap file of the imported model at the location of it's file.
   I.e.: <model_path>/mat, <model_path>/misc/cmp, <model_path>/../mat, <model_path>/../misc/cmp, <model_path>/../../misc/cmp
4. Then click the Import 3DO button to import model into Blender.

Exporting 3DO model

1. Go to File > Export > Sith Game Engine 3D Model (.3do)
2. Select path, name the file
   Note: The file name must not be longer than 32 characters (IJIM 64 characters).
3. In the export options section select the 3DO file version
   
4. Then click the Export 3DO button to export object(s) to 3DO file.

Importing KEY animation

1. First import 3DO model that animation is for
   Note: Which key file belongs to which 3DO model cannot be easy to figured out because single model can have many different animations. One thing to do is opening puppet file (.pup) located in misc/pup folder and see which animations belongs to the same game "actor". Another way is to open up .3do and .key file and see if .3do file contains all mesh names used by the .key file.
2. Go to File > Import > Sith Game Engine Animation (.key)
3. Select the *.key file and click the Import KEY button

Exporting KEY animation

1. Go to File > Export > Sith Game Engine Animation (.key)
2. (Optional) Set additional export options in the Export KEY section (bottom left)
   
3. Select path, name the file and click Export KEY
   Note: The file name must not be longer than 32 characters (IJIM 64 characters).

Importing MAT texture

1. Go to File > Import > Sith Game Engine Texture (.mat)
2. Select the *.mat file and click the Import MAT button

Editing

Additional from importing and exporting Sith engine formats addon adds extra UI panels for editing 3DO file specific data.

1. Object 3DO Properties

The Sequence number is the node position number in the mesh node hierarchy list in the 3DO file. When creating the new model by default this number is -1 and addon will auto-set the node position in the hierarchy list based on the object's hierarchy in Blender when exporting to 3DO file. If the node name is not set addon will take the object mesh name from Blender when exporting to 3DO file.

2. Mesh Face Properties
