tc6 - wip - now with download link (i think)

[zimluura]

i think, now that i've got it figured out it's easy. only suggestions i could make on the export script is to:

* have it remember the path you picked last time. but that's easy enough to change with notepad.

* have it assign generic uv parameters when you try to export without a texture. just like the (0.0,0.0)(1.0,0.0)(0.0,1.0) triangle or something. just be sure to have it mention that it's doing so in the console.

======================

few feature requests for making the art pipeline more versatile.
some sort of freeform model structure. so you can export a large number of meshes and then have tons of different .cars all refer to the same group of meshes.

since my tc6 was started independently of vdrift. i made the doors, hood, fenders, bumpers, seats, doors, etc. all separate meshes. and with not allot of modelling work, but a lot of text editing, i could *potentially* define like 10-20 different tc6's from the meshes i've made thus far (it'd be like gran turismo with their 80 nissan skylines). and then i could also model aftermarket body parts too for when the mod & tuning system is up and running.

but so long as the references to various meshes were defined in the .car file, you could still use the same, simplified structure if you wanted to, or didn't have time to model all the little accessories. just wouldn't have potential for working doors and windshield wipers, and antenas and all that glitz when the source starts making use of it.

==================
it would also be nice to have .engine files that go with each car, but i have yet to think of a really good way to implement that.
