Again, note the mother/lego/meshes and such

Most likely it was not intended to be opened in notepad...

[Cirevam]

Of course it wasn't intended to be opened in a text editor, it's an object-based file for the most part. It's interesting that the pointers to textures and such are in English though... in most files today they aren't.

[Eagle98]

These files are definatly not meant to be opened with a text editing program, but it's fun to do that though. :)

[Cyrem]

StarTeam is a project version control program the keeps a copy of all changes to files so you can go back in time. Look like DDI might use this software for there games to organise their files.

[ogun]

The file itself is a LightWave object, of course. The container format is actually kind of cute for an old geek like me.

The container format is originally created by Electronic Arts, called IFF for Interchange File Format. It was heavily used on the old Amiga computers, most famously as IFF ILBM files (pictures).

Wow, risen from the dead, ogun has appeared. Great job on your first post!

Lol, jk. We know that .LWO/LWS are LightWave. Cyrem and Cirevam seem to be the only two people who actually have LightWave.

You can give Lightwave a go yourself, there is full trials available. Yes and so far haven't figured out how to export the models 100% compatible with Rock Raiders yet.

ogun, Indeed it is a cute format :D

[Lair]

full trials? I thought they were 30 day...
