>As for pay, to be honest, I believe that programs that convert one file format to another should be free (if a program converts lots of file formats then that's a different matter).
I disagree. Your time is money. You are creating something that we are benefiting from. Although I use Guile[s] to compile my objects now I always get better results using your converter rather then importing lwo's into Guile[s]. Now you're talking about possibly adding additional features for BlitzMax (morphs to be specific). This would open so many doors for me, in particular FACIAL ANIMATION!!! You're offering a service that others (at least myself) cannot do for themselves. I (and I hope others) would be willing to pay for that.
One of the KEY REASONS I bought B3D in the first place was because of the LW/B3D pipeline that YOU have made possible!
People get paid for their services. I didn't create Character Shop. I didn't work on the programming, the design or the marketing. But I did work on one part, the animation. And I was paid for my time, my services.
To make a long story short, you're offering to do something that I am not capable (at least at the moment) of doing. And for this I am willing to compensate you and I believe others (maybe tiler & mustang) would as well.
My $.02.
