Is there a name for the data format (".dat") oolite uses for its models? Is it specific to oolite, or is it a format used elsewhere as well? Apparently they convert them to/from wavefront OBJ files with some python scripts[1] to modify them, but looking at some of them, you kind of wonder why, since the formats seem pretty similar to one another. Oddly enough, I wrote a parser in C for oolite's .dat files for my own open source space game, though I never ended up using any of the oolite models. I think it's fairly common practice to upgrade all the models from the basic stuff that's in the github repo among the oolite community, or so I gather from perusing the lengthy screenshots thread[2]. Edit: it looks like maybe the forums moved sometime over the years and many screenshots were lost, but recent-ish (last ~10 years) entries have screenshots.
