W3D Importer's beta current state:
---------------------------------------------
Ok, just noticed I didnt fixed a bug where proxies with trailing numbers after the ~ would'nt
show up in the Proxies list.
Fixing it right now, will be fix for the next release.
Also in next release you will be able to save and export as well. I have block the save and
export options to make sure the beta version won't be able to export or save locked w3d
files. Once I'm done writing the password protection code, saving and exporting will be
enabled.

Nice concept.
This is the first time i've heard of this application you've been working on.
Does this mean that anyone with the XCC Mixer will be able to extract the W3D objects from a map and use them elsewhere?
Surely map makers will be a little annoyed knowing that any new objects/terrain that they include in their map could be extracted, edited and used by everyone? More than likely without asking for permission or giving the author credit.

- Yes it does mean that
- It has been considered, and authors will have the option to lock and authenticate their works.

Could you give more details about that? Authors are going to able to use some sort of lock to make the converter unable to convert his files? Some sort of protection for the files he wish to not be converted or edited by others?

Yes, modellers will have the option to lock their w3d when exporting them so they can't be imported after. Although, I do not encourage anyone to use this. Instead you should only authenticate your w3d by signing it with the feature I will provide to do so. The signature will be safe as well, and wont be editable.
If anyone export a signed w3d it will keep the original signature for the author name and
add a new "Modified by:" signature to it along with the modified date.
Any unsigned w3d (Original WW models or models exported without my tool) that is imported will have the value "Unknown" for the original author, and will remain as "Unknown" once exported.
I'm not going to give anymore details about that, since the less I say the safest it will be.
