Default looking for dof-export plugin (by nick26)

Hello All,
First off I just want to say I think AC3d is a great product and am very happy it exists for Linux!

Anyway the feature request I wanted to add would be to support the DOF model files from the cross platform game Racer. Many linux users play Racer because its simply by far the best racing game there is for linux. In addition many of those linux users go on to try and make their own cars and the best modeler they can use is ofcourse AC3D which many of them do. In fact AC3D is mentioned a number of times on their forum ( http://forum.rscnet.org/forumdisplay.php?f=111 ) which is how I found out about it. However, at this point in order to convert the files from AC3D we must export it as 3DS then reboot into windows(ugh) and use the deprecated version of ZModeler1 to them import the 3DS and re-export it to DOF hoping that all goes well, which isn't all too often. If we could just export the DOF straight from AC3D that would make working with these models, updating them and testing them soooo much easier. There is a thorough description of the file format here: http://www.racer.nl/dof.htm and more technical info can be found here as well: http://www.racer.nl/prgusers.htm

Please let me know if you can do this. It would make me and many other AC3D/Racer users very happy not to mention the attraction this would create to AC3D by the rest of the Racer community. Thanks!
i found this in suggestion section and just thouht it is better posted here
and i agree a dof-export plugin for racer would be really really great

bye
