see the ogre.log
18:08:30: Parsing scripts for resource group General

Thx, I'll give it a try. It makes life much easier. It would be even nicer, if we could load .material file for each entity.

I do it for the robot.
1 - Use OgreXmlConverter to convert robot.mesh to robot.xml
2 - Edit robot.xml and change this line
<submesh material="Examples/Robot" usesharedvertices="false" use32bitindexes="false" operationtype="triangle_list">
to
<submesh material="Robot/Texture" usesharedvertices="false" use32bitindexes="false" operationtype="triangle_list">
3 - then create a file with wordpad robot.material
and copy this
Code: Select all
material Robot/Texture
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture r2skin.jpg
colour_op replace
filtering trilinear
}
}
}
}
4 - Now in your code you can write
Code: Select all
Parse3DScripts()
LoadMesh (0, "Robot.mesh")
CreateEntity (0, MeshID(0), 0)
If you dont want to edit robot.xml , you can create a file Robot.material
Code: Select all
material Examples/Robot
{
technique
{
pass
{
texture_unit
{
texture r2skin.jpg
colour_op replace
filtering trilinear
}
}
}
}

This is all very cool! i have a few questions for you Comtois:
1. The test levels you made, were they created using DeleD?
2. If so, Does the created models & levels, etc retain all lighting correctly from DeleD?
3. Can you edit OGRE materials within DeleD and export them correctly?
4. Does the program seem stable and have rock solid OGRE .mesh output?

Hihi Comtois,
Thx for your fast Answer =D
I ve been playing aroudn with DeleD myself for sometime, tho had to give up at some point because of the missing .material script support in PB. However this looks NICE !!
I managed to get the examples to run / also compile the examplecode.
Tho i was only able to do so under Windows XP not on Win2k Machines ( which i use for work ). I tried with newest Directx Drivers / Normal and Omega Drivers, also ATI / Nvidia make no difference ( the log is the same .. see above - Seems the Direct3D Layer isnt somehow correctly initialized on those systems ). Maybe Fred needs to take a quick look at it ( possible problem with the 3d lib ? ). However BuggySurTerrain runs fine also on 2k .. correctly initializing and shows textures / TnL.
Btw. one thing i noticed in your examples .. did you include / calculate the Lightmaps for those Scenes ? . if so they dont show here =)

Thats why i asked this:
2. If so, Does the created models & levels, etc retain all lighting correctly from DeleD?
because the samples look
flat and not lit properly here too.

I dont made the levels, they were with (in) the DeleD Lite.
2. If so, Does the created models & levels, etc retain all lighting correctly from DeleD?
I dont know , i just use Ogre Mesh Exporter for a quick try.I dont try light.
3. Can you edit OGRE materials within DeleD and export them correctly?
Yes , Mesh and material files were created by DeleD.
4. Does the program seem stable and have rock solid OGRE .mesh output?
It work with the examples , i think the best is you give a try by yourself
(Sorry for my poor english , i cant explain more)

No , i dont calculate the lightmaps , lightmap dont work with DeleD lite , you need version Pro.With DeleD Lite you can use Light point only , and i dont use it , i just made a quick test .

*EDIT* Fixed verison for w2k online!
managed to get lightmaps to work with DeleD lite.
Even just one type of it.
Example Exe / Source / Data.
http://www.code5.ch/temp/test3d2.zip
The Trick was to rename the BMP Files generated by DeleD to .png ( and convert em of course ) plus editing the .material File ( a simple search / replace did it ). As Ogre Spits out the error that there is no loader codec for .bmp implemented and throws an exception otherwise.
Screenshot:
@Fred's to Do List :
- Add/Compile in BMP support for Textures in Ogre.
Other than that ... now we can start making Games !

Comtois - Are you adding collision with the new beta commands? If so, could you post the source?

No, i use my own collision detection.
The code is here , i use the same for all demos :

Ok, thanks. Also, the last game test you posted, I'm getting just a black screen but I can see a white box in the corner which looks like it's calculating the fps.
