The following uses a download from the above public domain list for a reindeer as is contains a relatively complex set of meshes.

(I've done it under Windows XP as Blender 2.49 doesn't 'just work' in Ubuntu 14.4 and I wanted to be quick rather than fiddling around with it) It takes approx 2mins and by the end you will have something like the following for further use:. The following is a quickstart guide for doing the mesh conversion manually via Blender This list currently contains 170 animals there are also many more plants and physical objects not listed on this page also there are many other non-PD meshes in many locations which are available for download and personal use. #print ('Correctly moved '+ str(matchCnt)+ ' of '+ str(len(tgtChecksums))+ ' attempted files/n') Print ('Deleting Empty Directory: '+ curdir) Print '*** Deleting Empty Directories ***/n'Д®lif len(subdirs) = 0 and len(files) = 0: #check for empty directories. #walk through the entire directory structure repeatedly until all blank directories have been deleted Print 'Deleting Source File: '+ str(i)+ '/'+ str(matchCnt)+ ': '+ matchingChecksums

The following is a relatively irrelevant python script, but it does use code to copy file and walk through directorys, so might be a starter for such a script Especially as I would probably have worked on it a long time ago if I'd realised such a resource existed. I would normally have 'had a go' at generating the script before asking the question, but will be rather busy over the coming weeks, so thought I'd put it out as general information to start with.

Some are BFB files which might be more challanging to convert. I'm not sure if the file format is directly able to be displayed by Irrlicht, but the NIF meshes are able to be edited with Blender (amongst others) if not, so worst case might be needing a conversion step to generate b3d files.

zt2 file is a renamed zip file, so can easily be extracted.ДЄnd information about the file structure and how to edit and modify the files is also widely documented. The original game includes 100+ animals, which have often been modified heavily by end users, but there are also many texture packs created by users from scratch which are public domain in many websites (often easily found by searching for zt2 on google). These meshs and textures are extremely high quality and would be a fabulous way of adding in large numbers of new animals, including a massive number of dinosaurs. There are a very large number of freely modifiable/distributable meshes and textures (including animals (both living and extinct) and plants) using the Zoo Tycoon 2 format (zt2). Then we would have access to fabulous meshes which would really enhance the wildlife in minetest. Would it be possible to create a script which would automatically convert from Zoo Tycoon 2 (zt2) format into a minetest mod.
