How can I change the pony model? #8

.pmesh and .pskeleton are unfamiliar formats to me. Should these be changed? Thanks!

Hi Alex, the mesh and skeleton files are an internal format based on Google protocol buffers.

The format is described here: https://github.com/ginkgo/pink-pony/blob/master/src/mesh.proto There's tools to convert OgreXML (I think?) models to it in https://github.com/ginkgo/pink-pony/tree/master/tools

I have to admit that I haven't had a look at this (and the rest of the source really) in a very long time. By now I'd probably write a Blender exporter script, since protocol buffers finally support Python3. One thing I know is that there's currently a nasty limitation of 4 bone weights per vertex.
