object-data in AC3D file

epajarre · 4th July 2005, 08:43 AM

I have been writing and reading AC3D files with other programs, during this I have sometimes wondered about some minor issues with the "data" block in AC3D file (like should the last newline be in data be counted to the data length).

Now I have been thinking more about newline characters in "data". It looks like that the "data" block should be considered binary data because going for example Linux <-> Windows will change the number of charactes in "newlines", and thus break the data block. On the otherhand this is a shame because using AC3D file as a text file would be nice for version control programs etc.

Any comments/ideas?
