Files explained
These are the custom file formats used by dynaomi's Toolchain and Blender Importer. More detailed description
OWMDL
The most commonly imported file. This file contains the model for a hero, weapon or any other object.
OWMTL
Materials.
OWMAP
This file contains an entire map/level. Usually very large files, so this will slow down your computer quite a lot.
