exporting

Nice theme. Exporting data in programs for your own code. The bad thing is, most programs do not have an api you could use to export the data produced by that app. It would be great to just look and see that the devs implemented export function and custom script language (mono,lua,python) so user could make an plugin that export the data struct into own byte or text files.

Thus producing finally something useable and readable for the engine they work in. Is it so hard to make? Just send header of the data struct and other data arrays into the plugin like a json table and i personally would get only what i need from there and export it for my own use. Then it would be great to see a bone animation program work than looking who will develop and file reader for such apps that would work in love2D for example. Most of them are unity or unreal based. And other engines suffer by waiting for the choosen one that can master the export and produce at least an import plugin.

Would be great… and so we wait in hope that this will be in the future normal task to do when producing a release app for others that see only junk data in there. Btw some text formats are hard to parse and are slow to import. Why not use bytecode that is instantly parsed… shame.
