Once this release is out, my next top prio is model import/export and preview function

PS: it will be beta this time round...

...in trepidation...

any progress on that?

as i tried to edit the particles.dat, i got an overflow exception.

Will it ever be possible to export a group of linked chunks?

Ie: A part of a ship is a node with a model, properties, etc. It would be cool to export the whole thing as a group.

If you have previously editted the file, be it with S3D or other tools (or if anyone else has), please submit it to me. I can't check for problems without the files it fails on... There are some confirmed bugs (specifically with particles, check this thread a few pages back for a temp-fix).

That said, the new parser engine is more robust, but I am still not done yet with the next release. I have some RL trouble that takes away free time, plus I have (had) some difficulties getting some new features to work ok (it's hard when you only have limited time).

@tater, yes, I've also thought of that. Don't know when though... I've already implemented a partial multi-select function (only in list-mode), so you can select multiple nodes, in this case to delete multiple nodes. More of these kind of functions can be implemented later (move/copy/export multiple). After this release however, I want to concentrate on model stuff, and so UI improvements will not be on the high prio list.

So... sorry, but be patient and keep faith. It'll get done, I promise...

Just some progress update of work I've done last night:

The search utilizes multiple threads, so the more cores you have the better...

Probably couple more days. Hopefully, if my son permits (I have sitter duty tonight

) I will be finalizing the main UI this evening, and then some more work is left on the new property engine and undo/redo functionality.

Take your time - if you release before i get all my work done i'll never be finished with all the fantastic new functionality

I've used S3D extensively in the last few days - or rather weeks - and i must say you've made one hell of a tool that can only get better

the particles, the reflections, the new cameras - all of that wouldn't have been possible without this program

I was gonna do a bunch of SH4 stuff last night cause my wife was on call (she usually goes to sleep early in case she has to go in at night). Unfortunately, she got called in right away, and I had the duty til my daughter finally went to sleep, at which point I was too tired to stare at the screen, lol.

Hi Skwasjer,

some progress for import/export of 3D Model?

...and for clone function?

skwasjer · 09-13-07, 06:50 PM

You will find the answer about 10 posts up on this page (and I've said so before that too).

I know you all want it. Wait for it... Cloning is planned, but I can't promise it in that same release.

Don't rush me plz.

UBOAT234 · 09-13-07, 07:05 PM

Sorry I have jumped... I did not remember to have read it

leovampire · 09-13-07, 07:32 PM

Family life Job and Bill's first then us and the game buddy! Everything is apreaciated so no worries.

Evereyone missis something in the read me's and threads at some point or another I know I do so they tend to repeate stuff all ready covered.

Anyways your doing a great thing here for us moder's so thanks! And when I have it I will send another donation your way to help.

skwasjer · 09-13-07, 07:43 PM

It's ok, sometimes I just don't feel like answering the same thing, and I snap out. Maybe a bit to harsh, sorry.

I do take my time, which is why I get these questions again I guess as people get excited over my previews/progress updates. I just want it to work, not work a bit... I'm very happy with the fact that I only had 2 minor issues to resolve since last release (over a month ago), instead of whipping out a dozen releases in a week. Of course, there's things lacking in the tool, but it will come as time progresses...

tater · 09-13-07, 07:58 PM

The tool is great, even in the current form. I honestly never expected to understand as much about some of the nuts and bolts as I do right now, and my understanding is entirely a function of this tool.

Even building a website you know what you want to do and think it will be a daunting task, yet as you build the base and then ad things as you see the need, before you know it you have a working product that you can ad to as you see fit. The rewards are great at that point. Keep the faith
