Getting models from other games/apps into OpenZone

[Taurinus]

Just a note here about the technical aspects of the 2GB memory barrier and 32bit applications (it's the only thing i can speak of here - i know zilch about modeling).

Large Address Aware (LAA - common terminology) 32bit applications actually get their virtual space extended to 4GB when executed on a 64bit OS (under Windows).

I've never looked at the source for OpenZone so I don't even know which language it is written in, but making the application large address aware is a trivial matter as long as the memory addressing remains sane.

Here's a discussion on this I found with Google:

Has anyone attempted to use OpenZone on Windows 7 64bit in Windows XP Virtual PC (comes with Win 7 stock).

I've used it successfully on Windows 7 itself 64-bit. You need to have the latest graphic card drivers for DevIL library support (yeah, they added legacy stuff later, go figure.) and you'll also need to use OpenZone 8.6 for creating zones.

OpenZone 8.4 seems to work fine for compiling zones under 64-bit Windows 7/vista & 32-bit windows 7/vista. Hope that helps.

Let me know if you need OZ ver 8.3 that I've tested in win7 64.
