The script above is undergoing changes to try something gap and I are working on.

[Jeff-Groves]

Here are 2 scripts I did for 010
Tangent and Cosine

010 does not use a perfect C code so I had to adjust.
Cosine corrected..............

#define PI 3.14159265

double param, result;
param = 60.0;
result = Cos ( param );// Correct for SweetScape 010
Printf ("The cosine of %f degrees is %f.\n", param, result );


Tangent corrected..........


#define PI 3.14159265

double param, result;
param = 60.0;
result = Tan ( param );// Correct for SweetScape 010
Printf ("The Tangent of %f degrees is %f.\n", param, result );

Let's do something handy with 010 and S3D!
Open 010 and go to Tools\Options\Programs
Select the New button and then name it S3D
browse to the S3D install and select the S3D.exe
For arguments select filename.

OK it and then open a dat file in 010
Select Tools again and you will see S3D listed.
Go ahead! Click on it!

ooohh - pretty toys... cool. I still can't decipher hex anymore though...

that little menu now works for the sim, dsd, etc files also.

Thanks Jeff!

PS: ya know what? This is nice with a dual-monitor setup - or if I only had a 'modern' widescreen thingie...

Also, as before, if you want to open more than one file associated with S3D, you do have to go through the S3D interface of "File" "Open", if you are after having two different dat files open at the same time...

[propbeanie]

The boys got a "projector" that could do that from their computers a few years ago. It does distort things though, if not perpendicular to the surface. But don't mess with the sheet - just paint the wall white. Maybe even go outside and use the garage door...

Say, uh, you can build a script to find and potentially validate the links between the different S3D files much easier with this little technique, eh?...

[Jeff-Groves]

You could write a script that you put in, say an ID, that would scan all files for that ID and give you a list.
There's a program that does that already.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ci2dd7...Finder.7z/file
Problem with that program is not being able to actually narrow things down.

[propbeanie]

Yeah, but I was thinking of a different approach. Then I remembered that no two dat or sim or whatever files are laid-out the same way, the nodes in the same order or names... so my idea wouldn't work anyway. Might work for the first set of files, but bomb on the next...

(btw, that is a useful utililty - thank you for that)

Does not matter the lay out of a file. Search for an ID in a broad search? You find it! Trick is to narrow the search to only what your interested in.
Say I want to be sure no 3D model uses the same ID. I search for that ID BUT only in 3D file nodes.

Exactly what do you want to do?

[propbeanie]

I was dreaming of an "all encompassing" utility that could find and fix the files, or even build them - text files in that regard. Use 010 to help me figure out what I'm looking at in the files. I'm kinda dense in that regard though... One thing I'm trying to make use of is the Inspector window in the default interface of 010. Lot's of stuff to explore.

[Jeff-Groves]

One of the best things to do is to play with the scripting and template ability of 010. Look at the scripts/templates available online at SweetScape.
If one looks like it may be close to your needs? Study how it works.
I'll be starting an aid soon to show you how 010 and S3D will work together to learn the Hex structure of dat files.
S3D shows you a false view. I'm going to show you how to open your eyes.

[propbeanie]

I know of two guys that would appreciate that!

[Jeff-Groves]

So you've chosen the red pill.

[propbeanie]

In my left hand, yes... Do you have a glass of water though?.. the blue one will be in my right, from when you're not looking and I've already got a purple thing with white polka dots, and another that looks like a gummy bear in my shirt pocket, lint and all, for back-up... ...
