[sldev] How to move objects from Havok4 Beta to main grid?

[Dale Mahalko]

Is there some way that I can back up machinery I build in the beta
grid, so it isn't lost when the grid is wiped/rebuilt?

I tend to build really complex machines with moving wheels, marbles,
balances, pendulums, levels, gears, etc. While I would like to build
test objects on the havok4 beta, after having my initial projects
wiped from the first days of the test starting, the wipe really took
the fun out of testing.

At this point if I can't keep the projects I build then it really
isn't worth bothering with stress-testing the engine, because a lot of
work may be necessary to "set up" a test mechanism. To see it all
wiped with no chance of saving.... Eh I will pass. There's much more
to this than scripts, so copying out the scripts may be less than half
the work involved in getting something working.

Building a mock-up on the main grid and waiting a few weeks for the
database to copy over to the beta will not work because the bounding
boxes are different for havok 4 and something from the main grid may
need extensive tweaking and adjusting to work under havok 4.


I think I'm probably now going to sit on my hands until the havok 4
beta moves to sandboxes on the main grid.
