cant get anything into 02

[Archamedes 10]

Im assuming this is a common problem or i am doing it wrong, but every time i try to open or merge any p3d file i always get this error

"unable to load binarized version of p3d. mesh loaded into the editor is only known bounding box of the p3d model. you can see some properties in named properties window.

oxygen will reject all requests to save this model into p3d to prevent you to destroy the file by mistake."

I am trying to get character models into the program i get that error and am left with a empty box i have no idea what to do

Isnt there legality issues with reverse engineering the BIS binarized models? Was thinking of trying something with their models but im not sure if i should.

Yep, what you do allone at home won't concern BIS, but if you want to release something based on ripped ArmA2 models you might run into trouble ;) . You can still use the ArmA1 models, but this requires heavy changes to be on par with ArmA2 models.

ah ok then, plan A is off then. But retexturing is ok it seems based on the number of retextured units that is out now:P or am i wrong?
