Hello,

@G_Nom not now, but i work on it

Question about the im/export of mesh. Here comes my first try. I have made in the mp3d Forum a new thread:
http://www.morty-productions.de/gamedev ... hp?tid=193

Demo 1 shows how to make a direct x mesh with direct x functions
Demo 2 shows how load a directx mesh and get all information you needed to make an exportfuntion
Demo 3 shows how make a empty directx mesh and how to set vertex and triangles "manually" you needed to make a importfuntion

I think the first step could be to create a b3d export from demo 2.

We can talk in my forum about questions and code/structures/informations requests. I will allways have a look on it there...

Greetings Michael

Hi, @mpz. First off, I would like to say thank you so kindly for the upgrade!

Secondly, I would like to mention that I have made a very feeble ATTEMPT to create a Save_B3D() inside of CodeSnipes.pb.

It probably doesn't work, but it is a start. I need you to look this over and correct where I messed up so it DOES work.

Put this above Load_B3D():

Code: Select all

Procedure MP_SaveB3D( FileName.s, meshcolor=255 ) ; B3D Dateien saven

  Color.l = $FFFFFF  
  If FileName.s
    If Writefile(0, FileName)
      chunk_id.s = "    "
      WriteData(0, @chunk_id.s, 4)
      
      chunk_len = WriteLong(0, 0)
      Version = WriteLong(0, 1)

      While Eof(0) = 0           ; sich wiederholende Schleife bis das Ende der Datei ("end of file") erreicht ist
          
          WriteData(0, @chunk_id.s, 4)

I HOPE I did it right, but I doubt it.

VERT_FLAGS_HERE

Hi,

multitexturing with directx and the import and export is not any longer a problem. I found a little bug in the engine and have made a new demo file for multitexuring. I think i can actualise the Mesh_in_Out.zip file with these demos an unbuged lib in this evening...

Greetings Michael

to create submesh for meshs you need these part of a code

Code: Select all

*MyMesh\Mesh\LockAttributeBuffer(#D3DLOCK_DISCARD,@*id)

*pointerAt.long = *id

*pointerAt\l = 0 : *pointerAt + 4 ; submesh 0
*pointerAt\l = 0 : *pointerAt + 4 ; submesh 0
*pointerAt\l = 1 : *pointerAt + 4 ; submesh 1
*pointerAt\l = 1 : *pointerAt + 4 ; submesh 1

*MyMesh\Mesh\UnlockAttributeBuffer();

[mpz]

Hi,

the Mesh_in_Out.zip is actualized. Please use the new libs (includet theMesh_in_Out.zip file). Demo2 shows more information about a mesh. Now a "level.x" Multitexture directx mesh included. Demo 4 shows how to create a multitexture mesh...

Greetings Michael

Thanks a lot Michael!!

[Mythros]

Hi, @mpz. First I would like to say, this is an AMAZING job you have done! KUDOS to YOU!

Secondly, I would like if you could possibly test and tell me what I'm doing wrong with my Save_B3D() function above.

I KNOW I need to improve it, but I can't do anything until I have more feedback

Thanks again, @mpz!

Hi Mythros,

to make an exporter it is better to have an look to the developer of them, www.blitzbasic.com . Here you find a files descritiona and a sample kit:;
www.blitzbasic.com/sdkspecs/sdkspecs/b3dfile_utils.zip

I think these example is more easier to translate in PB.

Hello,

i am ready with 6 demos for import an export of meshs. I will actualize the Mesh_in_Out.zip file a little bit later. The multitexturing export from *.x to b3d is ready, i have translated the WriteBB3D( f_name$,mesh ) function with texture support to mp3d. Now i am working on the multitexturing import of a b3d file...

Greetings
Michael

[Mythros]

This works for all animated B3D files?

[mpz]

Hi Mythos,

Question: "This works for all animated B3D files?"

No, i don´t have a b3d animation function im mp3d integrated, but i have written a "Convert_b3d_3ds_x_anim_to_directx_anim.exe" program. This will come into the "Mesh_in_Out.zip" file. With the converted file you can use the directx animation function of mp3d...

Greetings Michael

[Mythros]

@mpz: KUDOS TO YOU! =D This would solve SO many problems I'm having with my Anim B3D function.

[mpz]

Hello,

new Mesh_in_Out.zip with 6 Demos and an anim b3d/3ds converter to create and anim directx meshs in my mp3d forum.

32) function changed: MP_EntityGetTexture(mesh[,n]) ; new parameter n, used for multitexturing meshs
33) function changed: MP_LoadMesh(File.s) ; load multitexturing b3d files, light maps are not included for now ( i am working on it)
34) new function added: MP_SaveB3DMesh( File.s,Mesh ) ; saved multitexturing b3d files, light maps are not included for now ( i am working on it)
35) new program will be included: Convert_b3d_3ds_x_anim_to_directx_anim.exe to covert anim meshs to anim directx mp3d meshs (Blitz3d exe file)

MP_LoadMesh(File.s) can load multitexturing b3d files but the function "light maps" are not included for now ( i am working on it)

P.S.: The Blitz3d code is include in the Mesh_in_Out.zip, the filerquester i have made myself, the converter file got from the Blitz3d forum...

Greetings Michael

[Mythros]

Hi, mpz! OMGOMGOMG! I LOVE this! Although, I would like to know one thing. Can you release the source for the B3D translator program so I can both use it for my B3D program and convert it to PB for other people to use?

I think it would benefit the community greatly!

Thanks again, MPZ

[N_Gnom]

function 33.) can you add in future that we can add several normal/bump maps and so on to every material?
So we should read the several surfaces/materials and add a normal/bump map and so on.

But for now...many thanks.Will test it tomorrow.

[Aleks_Longard]

Hi Michael
You will make the team for 3d sound?
And please add the function to get the volume and pan, for example:
mp_soundgetpan ()
mp_soundgetvolume ()

Very thanks for you best library!
