[TEC] Harbor Editor

[Jeff-Groves]

Mister_M, Yes it can be done that way. I'm not interested in doing it that way though. And that does not help to Edit existing Harbors.

Thanks to propbeanie I've located the built in move and rotate panel.
I'm not a Blender user so I have to learn things. One thing I've learned is Running a script in Blender. Now that is exactly what I plan to do.
I'll write a script that will do the relocation of objects in Blender in Mass.
The Scripts for 010 will read the needed information then spit out a complete script for Blender.

Got the Script that will move an object and rotate it in degrees figured out.
And a batch import handled.

Now I have to keep studying to figure out how to apply any transforms to objects by name after they are imported.
Still learning the Blender Python APIs

What I want to do is after a batch import, run the script to adjust the objects by name.
So if theres 200 objects they all would be moved and rotated based on what the script provides.

Oh yeah. I can only run Blender 2.79 since I still work with WhinDoz 7
Until I get a New system I could probably load a newer version on SWMBO's WhinDoz 11 contraption.
It's got a Killer Ryzen 7 CPU!

So here's a starter script I run in Blender 2.79 to mass import. I'll be working on that to do any transforms as objects are imported.

import bpy
import glob
import os    
    
importDir = "E:\\Desktop\\3D\ "
print(importDir)


os.chdir(importDir)
for files in glob.glob("*.obj"):
    print( files )
    bpy.ops.import_scene.obj(filepath=files, filter_glob="*.obj;*.mtl")

That Script imports every object that I exported from the Harbor_Kit.dat!
Now I just have to intercept each object and apply the Transition code stuff as it imports.

Guess I'll have to kind of load a Newer Blender on SWMBO's 'Puter and test it?
Unless a kind person does it for me? You can change the importDir to whatever works for you.

[Mister_M]

I hope you know object-oriented programming... it will be useful!

[Jeff-Groves]

I can program in C, C++, Python, and a few others. So I do know object-oriented programming.


Downloaded Blender 4.3.1 Portable to play on SWMBOs whinedoh 11 Ryzen puter.
I run it off a Portable Thumb Drive. Gotta say it is different.

Getting real close to doing what I want for Blender.
Time to work on the stuff to grab the info I want from a location.dat and mix that into a Blender script.

Gonna work on doing the Terrain file stuff first as I think it's needed to fill things out.

I also take time to help others with stuff. Looking at Grenso's issue and spent time with Mister_M teaching him a few things.

Looking forward to seeing how this goes Jeff. This could open up a lot of possibilities with harbor designs and features.

Thanks Mate. Just wish I'd have looked at Blender long ago!
The scripting ability is amazing! I put it right up there with 010!


May even remove 3DS Max from my system.
