The General Panel

The general panel of the exporter GUI contains controls that don't belong on any of the other panels (miscellaneous controls).

Output controls

The output controls are used to select an output folder and file name for the exported dts file and other associated files.

  • Output path and file name - Used to enter an output path and file name for the exported dts file.
  • Select path/file name button - Used to invoke a blender file/path chooser window ("Browse"), which is then used to populated the output path and file name setting.
  • Default path/file name button - Resets the output path and file name to the default settings. The default uses the same name and folder as the currently opened blend file. For example, a blend file named "MyModel.blend" in the "C:\models" folder would be exported to "c:\models\MyModel.dts" by default.

Script output controls

  • Write Shape Script button - Writes out a simple shape script (Torque Script .cs) file that associates any exported DSQ files from this blend with the exported DTS file. The generated shape script is placed in the output folder along with the exported dts file.
  • Write TGEA Material Script button - When enabled, the exporter writes out a TGEA material script (materials.cs) in the same folder as the exported dts file.  The TGEA material settings defined in the script are based on the DTS Material settings in the materials panel of the exporter user interface.

Log output controls

  • Log to Output Folder button - When enabled, this option causes the export log file to be written to the output folder along with the exported DTS.  This setting is enabled by default.  When disabled, the log file is written out to the folder containing the currently open .blend file instead.

Show Error/Warning popup button

When enabled (the default), the exporter will display an information pop-up when errors or warnings occurred during the export.
