3D objects in 1.5

I've tried copying some .dts files into the shapes folder for my project, but they aren't displaying in the creation tab in the editor. Has anyone else had/solved this issue?

In ThreeDShapes.ed.cs, the function LBOT3DShape::refresh you have %fileSpec = $currentProject @ "/data/shapes/*.dts";
The problem is... $currentProject is never defined anywhere so the editor have no idea where to look for the .dts files.

Actually, I think I found out why this happens. It's a bug if you ask me.In ThreeDShapes.ed.cs, the function LBOT3DShape::refresh you have %fileSpec = $currentProject @ "/data/shapes/*.dts";
The problem is... $currentProject is never defined anywhere so the editor have no idea where to look for the .dts files.

Wow, i'm glad this thread is finally getting some action. I'm wanting to use 3D shapes because they'll take up less space in the final game size than a series of rendered images all strung together to make animations.

Might be. But a series of images has many features the 3D shapes do not have.

To fix, in ThreeDShapes.ed.cs change:%fileSpec = $currentProject @ "/data/shapes/*.dts";
to:
%fileSpec = expandFileName( "^game/data/shapes/*.dts");
