I created this rocket voxel model (in the attached archive) in MagicaVoxel but it won't work in GZDoom. The wiki says SLADE3 can process vox files just fine but upon loading it says it's "not a valid voxel file". I wanted to convert it to KVX, but SLAB6 crashes when I try to open the model in it. In MagicaVoxel everything is fine.
Could anybody tell me what seems to be the problem?
not a valid voxel file — what's wrong with my model?

Re: not a valid voxel file — what's wrong with my model?
Use the magicavoxel EXPORT feature, it has even "slab" option. This will make a .vox file that SLAB6 can open. SLAB6 cannot open magicavoxel's stock .vox files.
Re: not a valid voxel file — what's wrong with my model?
In MagicaVoxel, you have to export your file as "slab" (the middle export button of the nine). Note that the extension is still *.vox but the file type says "Slab6 (*.vox)". This file can then be opened in SLAB6 without problems.

So, the *.vox you get by saving a MagicaVoxel model is not the same *.vox that SLAB6 or SLADE3 can read even though the extension is the same? Talk about counter-intuitive...
Thanks, guys!

Nope. Confusing, but you can get used to it.Jekyll Grim Payne wrote:So, the *.vox you get by saving a MagicaVoxel model is not the same *.vox that SLAB6 or SLADE3 can read even though the extension is the same?
