ok.... so ive gotten 3d objects converted from .3ds to .vox...... and i see how to import them into Voxel.... but how do you export it? How do you get it from .Vox to .Vxl so that you can play it as a map????

Convert the 3ds to kv6 via command line and then to kvx in slab6. After that you can insert it in voxed to get the vxl.

Alt + F3 to export as .vxl from VOXED.

Also, you can convert .3ds directly to .kvx by Poly2Vox.

omfg thank you... i knew it was something stupid that i was missing..... :P

So im still running into one issue... i have the model that i wanted, placed in a map... saved it...

now when i run a server and join up, the map looks nothing like what i saved... more like a black map with a wierd reddish bar at the top(maybe something in conversion got messed up) and when i get close enough to see it render on screen, i crash.

That's because of the AoS lighting. It treats everything on the top as superbright and then blocks directly beneath it get darker and darker. Also fag makes it look a little more gloomy and dark.

Edit: Oh, I reread your post. Idk really, but maps tend to look darker in a server than in the vox editor.

well... to explain my process....
Ive been taking 3ds images, converting them with poly2vox, and importing them into Voxel....
From there im a little confused...
I want to be able to load a blank template map (into voxel i assume) and from there, place the .vox objects on it, before saving it as .vxl
