By all means, it'll be publicly released.

Make sure you set the correct options in the exporter.
Which are what exactly?

RE: [Model] Cannon
first...
AAaaaagh!!!
thats nasty... I wonder what happened...
what they mean is, 0,0,0 will be the orientation point in game/level editor
BEFORE you export, reset all the offsets reset scale, and XForm
and when you export, tick EVERYTHING, but not the animation parts unless it is animated

RE: [Model] Cannon
I've noticed that too. Unless you attach a light / sound / whatever to your entity in the model editor, it will always appear at 0,0,0 D:

Ok, I tried all that with no change.
Additionally, I've tried exporting from a fresh scene, and everything listed in digi's post. There has been no change.
On the bright side, after looking at it in the model editor I can say it exported flawlessly otherwise!

RE: [Model] Cannon
Hell, why optimize at all why not just subdivide it 10 times to see if you can break the one million poly mark.

Why make thought out, and intelligent posts when you can spew dross like this.
Anyway, I fixed it, and for future reference with anyone having the same problem. I created a new primitive with the same origin, and then attached the cannon mesh, and deleted the new stuff. Don't know how this fixed it (And it really shouldn't have fixed it) but it worked. So whatever.
Either way it's ingame now and working properly, so now I just have to figure out LoD's, collision, etc, and make a proper texture.

RE: [Model] Cannon
as far as I can tell, this game engine doesn't support LoD's

RE: [Model] Cannon
We're you exporting only the cannon or everything? You're supposed to only export the cannon via export selected.

I believe the game uses active culling to only load resources that are in view, so LoD's aren't necessary
EDIT: considering today's technology and this game engines simple and stable design, LoD's aren't that important, specifically with models, however texture LoD's are still important
