> did he say whether i was correct about the basics or not?

Totally wrong...:)

But no need for panic!
I'll explain it to you as soon i've proven myself to be correct by actually making a perfect RA2 normal based voxel.


>why is he not answering these questions himself?

Because I'm recovering from a very serious sinusitis for the moment :(
And the 2 weeks before, I've been developing another, very needed script.
So i momentarely halted the RA2 normals research for that...

If my health allows it, it should be done in 2 weeks (on condition i don't have too much work of course)
So... you better start working on that W2000 version of your converter instead of talking.. :p
