Description and install information:

MSTSConv3dsInterface is a standalone program that requires no DLLs other than those already present in Windows (there is no install program, so it does not touch any of your system files). One copied to your hard drive, you can create a shortcut to it as with any other program.




How to use MSTSConv3dsInterface:

Put the name(s) of the 3ds files to be converted in the 'Source File(s)' field, each separated by a space. You can click the 'Browse' button to the right of the field to select a file from an explorer window (hold the Ctrl key while you click to select multiple files, or hold the Shift key and click a starting and ending file of a group of files). You can use the drop-down list to select a recently used group of 'Source File'(s).

NOTE! Due to a limitation of Conv3ds.exe, source (input) 3ds files cannot contain spaces.

Put the location of the 3ds source files in the 'Location of Source File(s)' field. Note that if you select file(s) with the 'Source File(s) Browse' button, this field will be filled for you. You can use the drop-down list to select a recently used 'Location of 'Source File(s)'.

Place the name of the s (shape) file to be generated in the 'Output File' field. You can click the 'Browse' button to the right of the field to select a file from an explorer window. You can use the drop-down list to select a recently used 'Output File'.

Place the location on your computer (depends on where you installed MSTS) of Conv3ds.exe in the 'Location of MSTS Conv3ds program' field. You can click the 'Browse' button to find the file in an explorer window.

If you want to not be prompted to overwrite the 'Output File' if it exists, check the 'Overwrite existing Output File without prompting' box.

If you want MSTSConv3dsInterface to close after the conversion is finished, check the 'Close after running conversion' box.

Click 'Convert' to start Conv3ds.exe. The results of Conv3ds.exe will be diplayed in the bottom window.






Additional notes:

The 'Clear' button will clear the contents of the results window at the bottom. It will not clear the input fields.

Press the 'About' button to read the disclaimer.
