is there anyway to open CMOD in blender?
i tried to reopen the original .obj (i made) but nothing is showing up and this happens every single time to my obj files
so how can i open cmod in blender?

Get a CMOD plugin.

i don't know of any

there was a very very old EXPORT only plugin for Blender 2.49b

however there is a DOT NET 5 ( C# ) microsoft only ( maybe linux with wine but i have not tried it ) , cmod to obj program

That doesn't exist (unless someone compiles Andrew Tribick's program and releases it on the forum).

Update: there's a pre-compiled version now.

okay so who should i talk to about compiling it?

It should work on any platform where the .NET 5 runtime can be installed, which includes Mac and Linux (at least several of the more popular distros), so hopefully WINE would not be necessary. Although since I abandoned the idea of putting a GUI on this, I might end up converting it to Rust at some point.

Whether converting from CMOD to OBJ will solve the original issue, no idea unfortunately.

Click on the Windows x86 installer. (x86 = 32-bit)

a rust version would be nice , looking at the code ( dot net) it looks like it will be a pain in the rear end to compile on linux or apple

however this is a great start
