if you don't mind, the next thing I'm looking for is rather data view...

Nice work!

First, the glut32.dll you posted a link to doesn't work (on my system).  Windows gives an error message of "glut32.dll corrupt, reinstall" message (and yes, I tried redownloading it several times).  However, the glut32.dll from both the OpenGL site or the one from Nate Robin's GLUT for WIN32 site work flawlessly.

Second, the viewer doesn't properly handle subobjects.  It appears that you only use the "Geometric center" parameters and don't take into account the "Offset from Parent Object" parameters.  You can look at the Vasudan AWACs model in the FS2 VP files for an example of this (notice that the "nose" of the ship is improperly offset from its proper position, about 2/3rds of the ship's length in front of where it should be).

Besides those things... nice new feature    I especially like the light position toggle    And I would agree with Venom, data viewer before texture (useful before nifty).

"Offset from parent object" is NOT USED FOR RENDERING AT ALL

It's just for them to do some cheating

each object has ABSOLUTELY GeoCenters in world coordinates


i've looked at this before many times because you and only you keep imagining this problem with Offset from parent up

[Bobboau]

nice
a little slow though

Not to argue... but look at the   Vasudan AWACs model that I gave as an example... then explain why the nose is offset like that    
Also, explain why ModelView32 AND the FS2 graphics engine correctly display models with the GEOCENTER set to ZERO, when the subobject is hundreds of meters from absolute WORLD coordinate 0,0,0...

Besides the various   models like this, I have some others that show this quite well.  I'll take a few screen shots and email em too you in a few

not so bad for the first build but I expect later vertions to work better

I've also found your copy of GLUT32.dll doesn't work, downloading Eths now...

[Fineus]

Ok, that problems fixed. New problem:

KAZCTRL.DLL was not found.

Considering the first three letters are part of your user name, I'm assuming the DLL is one of yours - can you put it up for download?

[Eth]

You can get the missing dll at the following link Thunder  


Kazan's FS2 package

Be sure to rename the current version of PCS you have BEFORE you install the PCS version in the above linked package, since they both will have the same name. (I always append the version number at the end, like PCSb104.exe).

* Darn it... I'm ruining my lurker image lately * :lol

[Fineus]

Ah, great! will do  

lurker  

Edit: it works! and looks good as well. Runs fine on my system (but then my system is high end - so that doesn't mean anything for everyone else).

I have texturing working.. technically.. but the image library i have doesn't like images < 24bpp too much (converts them up.. and screws up the colors) so im trying to find some new code to load PCXes
