thanks for free SVN access go to Knifa
and thanks to all who gave me feedback and bugreports!

Install on PSP:
copy 'LUMO1~1%' and 'LUMO 1' folder over to: 'MS0:/PSP/GAMES/'
convert any mesh file to 3db and copy it over to: 'MS0:/PSP/GAMES/LUMO 1' and name it: lumo.3db

Alias Maya Export MEL:
    o)    copy the mel script over to:
        [german]:
C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\<yourlogonname>\Eigene Dateien\maya\<mayaversoin>\scripts
        [english]:
C:\Documents and Settings\<yourlogonname>\My Documents\maya\<mayaversoin>\scripts

    o)    open exportV3.mel in editor and copy all by pressing CTRL+A, CTRL+C open up Maya and         open scripteditor; paste the script by pressing CTRL+V and hit CTRL+ENTER

    o)    before you export your mesh be sure it is:
        »VertexPainted« (to paint it enter this in scripteditor: 'PaintVertexColorToolOptions;')
        »combined« (to combine objects click on Polygons -> Combine)
        »triangulated« (to triangulate objects click on Polygons -> Triangulate)
        now you are ready to export your mesh (be sure your mesh is selected as object!);
        enter 'exportV3 <yourFileName>' in the CommandLine and hit enter
        now a file called: <yourFileName>.cmsh should be created in the current working directory*

NOTE: exporting a mesh may take some time! (depends on the size of the mes and your cpu-speed)

*this might be the folder where your mesh is saved OR

C:\Programme\Alias\Maya<mayaVersion>\bin
