OpenZone wont open .scn from Truespace.

[GLGanjika]

I know GeorgeS uses TrueSpace as his main editor and I tried it out today and boy am I impressed, however I couldn't get Openzone on any of my pc's to open the .scn right, it opens and all i see is a blank document. I'm sure if some one as successful as GeorgeS openly (in various posts) says he choose it over 3DStudioMax as his MAIN editor it must work... :P where am I going wrong?

(Once I do get a working model in openzone, How would I go about putting that into the world? Save as object .s3d named global-something and include that .s3d in the client directory and put it as a listing in the GlobalLoad.txt file?)

although I tried gmax in the past, I decided on using truespace as my main editor. I have 3dstudio 3.x and use it rather sparingly.

I do not know to what extent one can create a zone in (g)max - although I wager to say it's likely that's how the 'real' ones were made.

So far I have managed to import the Arena zone into OZ and export that as a S3D for preview. So I guess it's doable. Things like terrains need to be under a specific poly count as well.

I'm creating objects for zones now and should have several 100's for people to try mess with.
