I exported a spoon i made in a modeller in .X format and it looks as if it turned into a text file which i can open with notepad ? Are .X
supposed to look like text files or did i export wrong. Also while on the subject i was wondering if .X files could also be used as map in a DB PRo program like .Bsp files are ? And if so is it a good idea or are .X files not practical for being used as a map? Any answers greatly appreciated.

Yeah, they are readable in notepad. I don't know exactly how it works, but you could actually manually write an object in notepad and save it to .x as far as I know. Object editors just simplify the process . Yes, .x files are compatible and good to use with DBP, the only thing better is .dbo files. You can load them with "load object ''file name.x'', objectNum".

X files can also be binary, I believe, meaning they are not readable in your text editor. These X files are far smaller than the ones you can read, and load much faster.
