wow, that's a nice looking interface.

(though is texture#0 and #1 suposed to be under the ACEN point)

[Kazan]

no - that's for noticing that - i added them to the wrong root node

there are context menus under there that will bring up the dialogs, allow you to add data [like additional path points, etc]

[NGTM-1R]

And it shows nothing...?

It wouldn't really be "loading" it then...

[Kazan]

it's loaded - the renderer just isn't coded

[WeatherOp]

It reminds me of Sugeltech, I liked it, but it was very buggy. So, it's looking very good so far.

God, I remember writing doing an OpenGL projection of a model a while back. I sprained several lobes of my brain. Good job, Kaz.

i'm trying to decide how i want to store the tree states when resizing - because resizing you destroy the control and recreate it and that clears it's expansion and selection state - very annoying

i'm also trying to decide how to code the renderer

[mikhael]

By hand. In assembly. Of course.

[Kazan]

rotfl

[Kazan]

I settled on a method for storing and restoring the tree state.

next up is finishing the context menus

[Kazan]

oh it should be noted it takes longer to open/save to pof - the internal format is NOT Pof.  PCS2 has it's own internal format (that you can also save works-in-progress directly into).

This makes POF loading take longer - especially since the coordinates have to be translated into a sane [ie opengl] format

[Unknown Target]

Kaz, while you're at it, could you please try to fix the compiling error that I always got when I tried to convert my models using your prog? The whole vertex thingamabob thing, which I think others had as well.

[Kazan]

um... the error about going into infinite recursion detection?

if it's that it's a bug with your models, not with my program

[mikhael]

How are you handling the infinite recursion? I've always wondered? Does PCS crash, or does it just refuse to do anything else with the model?

[Kazan]

it keeps a depth tracker during the recursion to generate the BSP - if it goes over a certain value it figures "hey we're just going to keep going" - so it stocks and refuses t ocontinue [returning and error]

Fireframe rendering works - you cannot interact with the renderer yet, or render solid or textured modes - i just wanted to get the basic framework up for future work

[BlackDove]

This looks very very...practical and cool.

Will this be up for download when you're finished?

[Kazan]

that's the entire point bro

it'll be a while - i have to get the context menus completed, then actually make all the editing dialogs, then finish the renderer

[BlackDove]

Awesome.

[Starman01]

I'm glad to see you working on this again. I can't wait to test it
