Cool

I'm waitting the next version

Just about ready. Doing final testing now

The problem BIGREG was having was that the GR2 file he was working with was missing some embedded strings. These embedded strings are needed to define the maps he wanted to add. So what I did was look for these 'essential' embedded strings when the GR2 file is read in and if they don't exist I ask you if you want to add them. If you do then the app will add them to the GR2 file and you will have 100% functionality. If you don't then there's some things you will not be able to do with the app. Most GR2 files have all these 'essential' embedded strings already

Great that work fine,just an error when i try to remove the old "binding" material

edit : for the undersea.GR2 ,when you open it with Goblin and merge the .sim ,i have lost controllers ,but in the left windows ,it could not come from missing meshes ? rock2,3,5 !?

What's the error

If you renamed anything in that GR2 file then yes it's possible that's why you are getting the errors. The name is it's ID (the name is converted into an Int64 somehow)

BIGREG · 06-10-12, 06:38 PM

The error occurs when removing the old material that is no longer used by the subset
example: for the rock4, I use my new material "Rock4" with my 3 maps

and I want to remove the binding with the previous material "rk" in the menu: Meshes->rock4->remove material... result error and corrupted save file

otherwise it works very well if I leave the old material

Edit : for the error in goblin , that is an original error

other maybe that come from the annimation
but, I do not think, since I have no error with the other animated objects

eg:attack periscop,torpedo doors etc..

send me the GR2 file so I can try it in VS and watch what's happening

Here before removing the old material : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8655607/Roc...ore_remove.zip

and here after (corrupted) : https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8655607/Roc...ter_remove.zip

I see the error. It's my fault also

When I removed the material from the mesh's material bindings I never updated each subset's map references to reflect this! This has been fixed

I just finished coding the Texture remover. Testing it now...

BIGREG · 06-10-12, 07:54 PM

Super

Now,we can make many things with your editor ,Thank TDW or maybe not

, given the job as it allows

TheDarkWraith · 06-10-12, 09:54 PM

Texture remover works for the most part. I knew this one was going to be difficult because of all the pointers that have to be adjusted and/or removed. Looks like I got them all but one...Sentinel says there is 1 break in the linked list...now to figure out which one I missed

BIGREG · 06-10-12, 10:44 PM

All work great TDW

Now i can add the illumination and the bump map for the rocks

TheDarkWraith · 06-11-12, 06:44 PM

Just finished coding the texture remover. Had some bumps and bugs in testing but they're all worked out now. We can now delete textures from GR2 files

Now I have to write an extendeddata remover/deallocater. I have the extendeddata cloner/copier (allocater) coded so I should be able to do the reverse of it to deallocate extendeddata. That's the theory and plan anyways...

TheDarkWraith · 06-11-12, 11:48 PM

GrannyViewer seems to have the main menu hard coded as to what items appear in it (the main screen when you select view in detail). I was going to add a new menu entry 'Author Info' but it refuses to show it. I have all the correct pointers and datatype definitions for it and I've printed out the data to verify they are correct and in the correct locations

Some peoples children...

Now I'll have to attach it to the ExtendedData entry in the main menu
