:rotfl:

Evil huh? :88)

you bet :yep: ;)

The 3d part would make something I'm working on right now so very much easier...

Can't wait for it :D

tater

Oh yeah.... :up:

I Second that also!! :hmm:
Come on skwas! there are priorities... :smug: Focus on that 3d part eheh, that's the very next step if we want breakthrough new mods! we're rather at a stand still now waiting for new tools...

What??
Who said i wasn't completely disinterested saying that?!? :stare:
me, not objective???
:know:

Will any of the versions in the pipes deal with stuff like this:

EventLaunchDepthCharge
-Properties

ShellCounter
-Properties

Right now they are black boxes.

tater

tater, they are controllers with no actual data/managable properties. Such a controller tells the engine of the behavior of the object (node) it is linked to, nothing more. Basically it's sort of a state flag...

There's quite a few other controllers that are the same, no data. I don't specifically know what they mean/control though - simply because well, I don't mod :smug:. I'm sure others know...

[edit] There are other controllers that are unknown in the current S3D though. The only controllers that will remain uneditable in the next S3D are the ones that have animation (3d or speech) data...

installation problem
 

Has anyone seen this problem:

"This advertised application will not be installed because it might be unsafe. Contact your administrator to change the installation user interface option of the package to basic".
I did a search for this error message and what I found was way, way above my pay grade so I was hoping that someone here knows what this means and more importantly, how to fix it.



Thanks

Update: it was one of those Vista mysteries. I still don't know exactly why it finally installed but it did. Even though the install was stopped by Vista, all the files were extracted to the skwas directory. after much proding and poking in the security and admin tolls area, I clicked on the executiable in the skwas subdirectory and it ran and installed the program without a hitch.

Great program by the way, now that I have it running I don't know how I lasted this long without it.

There will be a version with import export, or is something impossible? ;)

Import/export for non 3d stuff is already possible, I use it all the time.

The ability to grab a "chunk" of stuff to do it with would be very cool (say a parent node, and all the nodes below that use its ID as their Parent ID (along with any daughters there, as well).

...and for 3d? Have you solved?

Export for models is probably coming with beta 0.5. I've got an exporter working now...

I'm using the COLLADA-format (*.dae) which is pretty much complete in respect that it can contain every single byte of data we need for SH. I've made succesful imports/exports in Max (after importing a model from my exporter) without loss of the data we need (this includes multiple uv-sets).

Import will be still for a later release, so don't get your hopes up ;)

Many thanks, Collada is fully compatible with Maya Software!!! (with a plugin)
Waiting for import:
A Very Good work ...

Will there be any support for showing node locations right on the model somehow? Would be very interesting to be able to do this, change the node XYZ, and see it move on the model (just as a set of vertices).

Confirm and hope...
It would be a very important step :sunny:
