OGREXMLCONVERTER(1)

🎀 OgreXMLConverter 🎀

Okay bestie, this is the manual page for OgreXMLConverter, filed under the General Commands Manual 💅 It's a tool for converting data between XML and Ogre binary formats 🔥

✨ NAME ✨

OgreXMLConverter converts data between XML and Ogre binary formats. Literally the whole vibe 🦋

💖 SYNOPSIS 💖

OgreXMLConverter
[-i] [-e] [-l lodlevels] [-d loddist] [[-p lodpercent][-f lodnumtris]] sourcefile [destfile]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Ngl this one is simple: it takes your data and converts it between XML and Ogre binary formats ✨

👑 OPTIONS 👑

Here's the full lowdown on every option, no cap 💅

• -i — Interactive mode, so it'll just prompt you for options as you go 🫶
• -e — DON'T generate edge lists (these are for stencil shadows) 🙈
• -r — DON'T reorganise vertex buffers into the OGRE recommended format 💀
• -t — Generate tangents (for normal mapping) 🌈

These next ones only matter when you're converting XML to Mesh, so don't stress if they don't apply to you 🧚

• -l lodlevels — Number of LOD levels 🍓
• -d loddist — Distance increment to reduce LOD 🦋
• -p lodpercent — Percentage triangle reduction amount per LOD ✨
• -f lodnumtris — Fixed vertex reduction per LOD 💜
• sourcefile — Name of the file you want to convert 🎀
• destfile — This one's optional, and it's the name of the file to write to. If you skip it, OGRE works it out from the extension, and from the XML contents if the source is XML. For example, test.mesh becomes test.xml, and test.xml becomes test.mesh if the XML document root is <mesh> etc. It's giving smart 🧠

⚠️ Heads up: -e and -r are DON'T flags, so leaving them out is the opposite of what you might expect. Read them carefully, bestie!
