In the article "MAXSCRIPT 3.0 for Game Developement" at http://www.gamasutra.com/features/19991008/maxscript_02.htm they give you a MAXSCRIPT that exports to a RTG(Real Time Game) format. Well when I exported one of my models, several of the Vertices Y component were like this: 300.035-e005. When I load this as a float it sets it to 0. Does anyone know how to fix this or why this happens? Thanks a Lot in Advance

If your not understanding what Im saying, Im saying that sometimes in the Y component there is a "-e700", or "-e500" suffix on it. Then when I use fscanf(file,"%f",&var) on it, it doesnt load it right, it sets it to zero. Please someone just post even if you dont understand, just post something on this.

I don''t know how to change the way MAX exports floats, instead I just wrote routines to accept scientific notation in my input module. Not too difficult, it is just a simple ASCII file after all.

AH Crap, now the exporter isnt exporting anything but the header. Man, well, if it was is scientific notation what would it be?(sorry for such a stupid question).
