LWO cheats by having multiply poly lines in 1, by doubling back on the line. BPyMeshes NGON function splits this into multiple NGons so PolyFill can fill properly.
Tested with 1711 LWO files - (2 had unreadable faces) 77meg and 103 OBJ files- all worked.
Further changes need to be added but theres a bug in Blender that prevents the NGon function from working.

Lightwave major update by Alessandro Pirovano (uaraus) intergrated with my changes.
Tested with ~ 500 models to import without throwing an error.
Added subsurf back, image loading fixes and removed meshtools dependancy
The orange -> HEAD merge reverted some scripts to older versions. This only
affected the ones that already existed before the orange branch.
Minor issue, easy to fix.
All in all, kudos to kaito, Hos and others for all the hard work in
bringing (coding, merging) all these changes to the main branch.
- updating some bundled scripts, thanks to authors Jean-Michel Soler, Campbell Barton and Anthony D'Agostino.
BPython:
- removing wrong fix from BGL.c's glDrawPixels.
note: applied guitargeek's setName patch to Blender.Key, but saw that he updated it with more functionality and assigned to stivs, so I won't commit this old version.
- moved bpydata/ to scripts/bpydata/ and added a config/ subdir to it;
- created scripts/bpymodules for py modules (also got rid of those "mod_"'s appended to the files);
- updated scripts accordingly.
This will require you to "reinstall" (just copy the scripts/ dir over your older one) if you have a .blender/scripts/ dir somewhere. Otherwise some scripts won't work. You can use the updated "Help->System->System Information" script here to check all is fine. An installer script yet to be written will help users with these issues, specially to make the user defined dir have the same structure expected from the default scripts dir, so the basic facilities (module search; saved config data; scripts: installer, help browser, config editor) are also available for a user's own collection of written and downloaded scripts.
BPython:
- slikdigit's crash was because he had no <home or blender exe location>/.blender/:
proper check added and also now if all else fails the <cvsblender>/release/scripts/ dir is also searched for scripts. All this registration dirs stuff is a little messy (installation!), so please report any troubles (I only tested on linux).
- slight change in error report in BPY_interface.c's BPY_menu_do_python; remembering to set globaldict pointer to NULL there, too.
- moved bpy_gethome() to EXPP_interface.[ch]
- "//" as user defined python dir is ignored while looking for scripts, considering it's only a default some users use, not really meant for a scripts dir.
- Fixes by Jean-Michel Soler: mod_ai2obj.py, mod_svg2obj.py;
- Fixes by Campbell Barton: obj_import.py;
- Small fix to mod_meshtools.py (fixes bug #1605: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=1605&group_id=9);
- Updates by Jean-Baptiste (Jiba) to his blender2cal3d.py;
- Updates to all his import / export scripts (added doc data) by Anthony D'Agostino;
- Update to off_import: support for uv data, by Arne Schmitz.
BPython:
- Removed Object.get and .getSelected (deprecated long ago, we use .Get and .GetSelected) -- fixes#1861: http://projects.blender.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=125&aid=1861&group_id=9
- Applied patch by Michael Reimpell: quat.c - fix for wrong initialization with newQuaternionObject; Mathutils documentation improvements.
- Stani reported a wrong return msg in IpoCurve.Get (that is unimplemented).
Thanks to all coders mentioned above!
-- adding help_browser.py to show help for installed scripts;
-- updated scripts to include basic doc info to be shown with above script:
script authors can / will / should update with more info, of course;
-- updated some scripts to newer versions: disp_paint, fixfromarmature, hotkeys, etc.
* Added items for importing DXF, VRML, etc. in the File->Import menu, that just call the normal Open function. Most people don't even know that you can open these formats through the normal Open fileselect, so this will make it more obvious.
* Removed the 'Export Selected' menu, and put poor old lonely STL in the Import and Export menus too. Most of the exporters export only the selected object anyway, so it's not really a necessary distinction to make.
- tiny updates for better behavior, unix line endings, cvs Id tags;
- Updated DX7 exporter (thanks to author Ben Omari who's also working on a DX8 one);
- added sysinfo script;
Interface (scripts):
- changed behavior for which win is chosen for script guis:
Now there's a smarter order, guis will use either:
- Scripts win
- Buttons win (if not a script from groups Wizards or Utils)
- Text win
- Closest bigger area
- Added a button to the scripts header so that it's faster to return to the buttons win (this can be made general), if that was the previous win used.
-starting updates and new additions for Blender 2.34:
Some of the new scripts require Python modules not builtin with Blender, so you either need a full Python install or the needed extra modules. This is an ongoing work, there should be more scripts, better testing and also proper ways to tell users they don't have all expected modules. It's expected that Win users won't need full Python installs, since we can provide a minimal zip with the needed modules from 2.34 on.
Thanks to Anthony D'Agostino (scorpius), Jean-Michel Soler (jms) and Campbell Barton (Cam / ideasman) for donating the scripts now added / updated.
BPython:
-added two new script menu groups: Tools and Utils. We still need to find places elsewhere in the gui where the groups can be put.
