Guest drewid Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Is that the exe RARed up? (can't be, it's too big ). Might get a chance to do some actual texturing tonight. I'm using Maya, but I guess the exporter will spit out something sensible that should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red knight Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Axiom is a straight C# port of Ogre, in fact it was ported very fast, like in 2 months of so with lots of code less than Ogre (another extra testimony of the power of .Net /Java type of reflexive and uniform languages). If you see the code of the demos in C++ (Ogre) and C# (Axiom) you will notice is the same concept/kind of implementation. (A little more clean in C# though). If nobody has lucky on Chronos I will see if I can do something on saturday, as I have to help my Computer Graphics professor to prepare an Advance Computer Graphics course, and I suggested him to use Axiom (as it is a remarkable port of Ogre) so I will have to do it anyways.  GreetingsRed Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalo Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 I should be able to get to work on this tonight through the weekend. Blankstar, what have you accomplished, and what could you delegate to me or one of the others to get going faster? I feel fairly comfortable with Ogre and Axiom, and I'll look at them more closely going into the weekend. Blank or Drewid, if you guys have a specific task, let me know and I'll hop on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankstar Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Thanks thelo. um lets see what ive accomplished. Not much to tell the truth. im waiting to see some Files from the texturers (.mesh and .material). i was working with fabguy before he left for tests. he sent me the .3ds and a .material the .3ds wasnt spit into submeshes so that i could export it into a .mesh and use the .material.As for showing damages i was thinking on some ideas. What we could do(i dont know if this is the best way to go or not) but use the .materials to do stuff. for the fadingin/out we can use the neat transparency(modified) that came in the examples.material. we can fade in parts(aka submeshes in .mesh) telling the engine to texture the part using the .material so some will be transparent while some of it will be there as it will be in the end then we can have the normal.material load at the end in which it will be a complete model being displayed. i suggest the same for damage. Like smoke and explosion marks we can just tell the engine (using the .material) to load up a different texture(the .jpg or .png) on the submesh.(the .jpg or .png being the texture that is darker or has marks of explosions on it). now depending on how demolishing it goes that could get tricky and i havent put much thought into it( the only way i see it is load a bunch of .mesh on load up some being the damaged ones to completely destroyed and have the ones not being used invisible and when needed have the current go invisible and the one needed become visible.)(the reason of the disapearing act is the time tackin to load the .meshes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FabGuy Posted July 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 I've tried the exporter. Hope it turned out nicely. Â I've also re-exported the materials as there might have been a little change.

Blankstar Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Nice Im I got the correct files this time. im going to work on it. I need to tweak the .material cuz theres doubles of some stuff.() i hope you didnt copy paste frome the old one. if so i dont care. THe next post from me will be a pic of the model in the engine.

Blankstar Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Fabguy dude it looks pretty good. OK heres a rule of thumb. after your done exporting the .mesh.xml open it and look at it you will have to close all the tabs then open the .material by renaming it to a .txt (also name both files the same name when exporting) match the materials in the .material to the materials in the .mesh.xml if they match your good if not you need to redo the mesh. in the case of teh attached pic you need to redo the mesh export. Selecting everything. then reexport the .material. hopefully it will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FabGuy Posted July 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Okay... I'll see what I can do though I can open them without renaming  I think I had the gun textured already. I take it OGRE doesn't like the generic textures and needs an image. *sighs* Seeing the weired angle of the walls - can you check if this error persists if you see them from other angles? And the floor-textures... it should have been mirrored a few times so its like small plates all over the area.

Vaaish Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 There are some serious smoothing group errors from the original models I have. I'll try to get them exported again but I can't promise anything. BTW have you finished mapping the complex yet? I ask because I see some real wird things happeing with some of those textures.

Thalo Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 Update - I decided to update my Axiom via CVS before getting started... BAD IDEA. Axiom is currently in the middle of a reorganization of files, and leedgitar is supposed to post batch files to create the sln and csproj files, but hasn't yet. So, i'm going through and trying to get it all working and compiling manually, but it might take me awhile.... Meanwhile don't update your Axiom until he posts those bat files!!

spu7nic Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 (edited) I finally managed to get the Worldeditor run on my machine... Most of the buttons don't do anything right now...  http://www.n3tworks.de/xeno/chronos.jpg But I don't think it's very usefull, yet ... I got a lot of lockups, there's no way to save or load things and the only way to close that prog is using taskman. (But I'm not sure, if I did something wrong...) That shot is after placing the meshes you can see on the first screen ...http://www.n3tworks.de/xeno/taskman.jpg Edited July 11, 2004 by spu7nic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red knight Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Great news, was too difficult to make it work?? Maybe we are missing something. The idea of using the editor is to preview how the meshes will look in the engine and to have freedom editing material scripts. That loading plugin (name) sounds kinda strange. I would suggest you to take a look at this thread: http://axiomengine.sourceforge.net/modules...der=asc&start=0 And post the distribution (or send it to my by mail) to put it in the server so our artists can tell us what they need so we can start enhancing it. (on the other side as Axiom is pretty similar to Ogre, you will gain vast knowledge in it). GreetingsRed Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spu7nic Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 (edited) Maybe it would be better to create just a simple app, wich lets you open a mesh-file, assign any material and refresh the screen as soon as there are changes made to the files? As I said, the editor isn't really useful yet ... but maybe you should try it yourself ... just to see what I mean. Just an example ... I tried several things, but I found no way to move the meshes in the scene (just managed to scale them and change the position of the camera).

red knight Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 How is the state of the source, it is well designed or not? Cause if it is well designed between creating our own app and modify something that exists the second is the better way to go, on the other hand if that is not the case then we should consider create our own app. What do you people think? Drew in your experience any idea of what would be the requirements for such an application and the way to go? GreetingsRed Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew in your experience any idea of what would be the requirements for such an application and the way to go? GreetingsRed Knight Difficult to say, we need to question ourselfes, what kind of tool we actually need ...  It seems to be more or less simple to display a mesh with textures in a window and make it refresh when there are changes applied to the files. If we don't need a fully grown scene composer, where we can put lots of models, lights, etc. into one scene and arrange them, scale them and so on ... it might be easier to create a small tool yourself, than expand a foreign one (till now I took no closer look at the sources - my first goal was to make that thing run).But if we would like to have that big solution instead of the small viewer, the whole situation changes ... There's also a second think we'll have to keep in mind: It might be a little bit senseless to expand the first Worldeditor when there's will be a more modular 2nd version with much better structured code.

Blankstar Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 How did you get it working? and anyone familiar with axiom tell me why i cant load a .mesh file that loads perfectly fine in ogre but not axiom. I know my syntax is correct because i change the .mesh name to ogrehead and it loads. but when i change it to mine it kinda freezes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spu7nic Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 (edited) Actually I used the included axiom binaries (as long as the restructuring of the axiom repository isn't finished) - maybe that was the fault, which caused it to be that instable... As soon as I got it running with the right version of axiom, I'll write a little tutorial. Just gimme a few more time *smile*. One thing I'll have to announce... because I am moving to another town, it may be, that you see me only a few times in the next two or three weeks! I'll do my best to keep you informed - but maybe I'll have to wait some days till I get inet in my new apartment.

red knight Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Drew, what do you suggest to implement that would be needed? Blankstar and spu7nic start implementing a sandbox that would let you open a mesh, show it and move the light arround so we can see how it would look in xenocide. GreetingsRed Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankstar Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 sorry i didn't respond but i have been working on making the program to load the mesh's i have an idea on how to do it. all i need now is to make a frameListener class of my own so that i can impliment stuff correctly. so that away the i,j,k,l,u,o keys will move the light around along with haveing the arrow keys and mouse move the world around and if you hit the n key it will open an input box where you can type the name of the mesh file and it will load.  Im currently using the Ogre version It should be easy to put over to Axiom however when i was screwing around with it i was unable to load my fushionfacility.mesh that i showed off in ogre into axiom im still working on it. so before i really get coding which graphic engine do you want me to use either one i believe i can accomplish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red knight Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Use the one that suits your needs (for learning), but think that we will probably evolve that app to what we need so it will be necesary to add a standard GUI in there so in that Axiom is far more compatible. GreetingsRed Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
