DOSBox and DOSMdlc users?

I have used Mk MDLC too and it works 99.9% of the time but there are times that it seems to fail. When this happens I have used MDLC by it self using old school Command line.

If your using Mk MDLC you must be using XP or Vista. What I want you to do is download the DOSMdlc 2.0 I attached.

1. Copy the DOSMdlc 2.0 folder from the .zip and paste it into your main C: drive.

2. Download the MDLC_Master_bat.zip (I'm attaching) and copy the MDLC Master.bat and paste it into the DOSMdlc 2.0 folder.

3. Take the model you wish to convert and name it Z.mdl.

4. Run the MDLC.Master.bat.

Let me know if this works.

Really appreciate the help Allen. I am out of the house this weekend for my boys baseball tournament. I will try out your program as soon as I can and get back to you.

Thanks again,

Hi Allen,

I have been working with the combiantion of DOSBox and DOSMdlc that you have suggested for the past week. It is very easy to use and I will keep using it moving forward. However, I am not able to convert mdl files from some of the more complex models. One example would be the Sky Unlimited P-38F. Please don't think I am complaining. I enjoy the use of your DOSBox program and it does make the process much more simple for me.

Thank you for your time and helping me with this; and all your efforts her at the SOH,

Allen, thanks for a neat little tool...

Still messing with a conversion of Scrubby's latest Seafire XV
 
Glad to see things are working for you! Need to get off my @$$ and upload final version of DOSmdlc to the Library.
 
Allen,

This is a great little tool & so useful it deserves some better feedback. I'll keep posting here in the hopes that some of the other lurkers give you some (deserved) credit for this...:applause::medals:
