Struct Writer 

pub struct Writer { /* private fields */ }

Writer for MDX/MDL model files

The Writer takes a Model structure and writes it to disk in binary MDX format or text MDL format. It automatically handles chunk serialization and size calculation for MDX, and text formatting for MDL.

The format is selected either by file extension (.mdl → text, .mdx → binary) or by an explicit MDLXFormat parameter.

Uses the PImpl (Pointer to Implementation) idiom to hide implementation details.

Implementations

impl Writer

pub fn new() -> Self

Panics

Panics if the native allocation fails.

pub fn write_file( &mut self, file_path: &str, mdlx: &Model, mdl_format: MdlFormat, )

Write a model file to disk

The format is detected from the file extension: .mdl for text MDL format, .mdx (or any other extension) for binary MDX format.

@param filePath Path where the file should be written @param mdlx Model data to write @param mdlFormat MDL text dialect (only used when writing .mdl); defaults to WarcraftIII (engine-faithful). @throws std::runtime_error If file cannot be created or written

pub fn write( &mut self, mdx: &Model, format: MDLXFormat, mdl_format: MdlFormat, ) -> Bytes

Write a model to a byte buffer @param mdx Model data to write @param format Output format (MDX binary or MDL text, defaults to MDX) @param mdlFormat MDL text dialect (only used when format == MDL); defaults to WarcraftIII (engine-faithful). @return Vector containing the binary MDX data or UTF-8 MDL text

Trait Implementations

impl Debug for Writer

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for Writer

fn default() -> Self

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl Drop for Writer

fn drop(&mut self)

Executes the destructor for this type.

fn pin_drop(self: Pin<&mut Self>)

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (pin_ergonomics)

Execute the destructor for this type, but different to Drop::drop, it requires self to be pinned.
