Xycaleth Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 It works! That 'platforms' directory looks like it has done the trick. Looking good so far, am liking the extra touches. Things like visible floors There are a couple of things that I noticed right away though; - For models that have multiple varieties with surfaces, etc (such as the Clonetrooper packs), this version of Modview does not seem able to read when a particular surface has been turned off in the .skin file, instead choosing to load all surfaces on a model regardless of the skin - leading to a lot of untextured white surfaces being activated.- No option to 'Prompt for GLA overrides during GLM load'. Will this feature be included in a future version?- No option to view surfaces as double-sided or not. It also feels like this version loads more quickly and smoothly than the base version, which is always a plus!Hooray, fourth time is the charm I'm pretty sure I had surface hiding working at some point. I've probably broken it, but it should be an easy fix. I didn't think anybody used the GLA override so it's not included in the user interface. It's easy enough to add back in - the code's still there, it's just not accessible. And I think the double-sided thing was removed in anticipation of working shaders. I'll add it back in for the time being. Mac version opens successfully and I opened a model, but surfed off parts of models aren't actually hidden. Not sure if that's something you have yet to get to or not. Excellent work so far though! Feel free to use the icon I made for my Wine version by the way, or let me know if you want me to make a new one: Yay, first time is the charm on Mac I think the you're describing the same problem as @@Kualan. Should be an easy fix! And yes, I was looking for a new/better logo. I'm not sure whether I like the M and V logo or if it can be made to look a bit more stylized some how.
Kualan Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 I'm probably the only one who makes regular use of the GLA override feature (it's really useful for machinima) but if it's an easy feature to add back in it'd be greatly appreciated! Great job on this overall. Not encountered any actual bugs or crashes so far.
Ruxith Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 Great to finally see models like chewie in modview properly without having to tweak them in photoshop afterwards testing out my cut & paste skills xD One thing i've noticed is that it crashes when attaching a weapon to a loaded model; I usually load a hilt model to r_hand then a blade to that loaded model but it crashed on the first step. I could vector up a logo if you had some ideas, otherwise I could see what a few of us can get together with ideas and make some logo ideas for you Circa and Omicron like this
Mandalorian Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 I get an error when I try to attach a model to my character and modview crashes, other than that I'm liking it.Good work so far
Xycaleth Posted November 5, 2014 Author Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Minor update! Windows: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/874909/JKHub/ModView-Win32-05112014.zipOSX: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/874909/JKHub/ModView-OSX-05112014.zip Changes:* Fix crash when attaching models.* Fix drawing white surfaces when they were marked with *off. I haven't quite got as far as adding the attached model to the menu in the left pane. Edited November 5, 2014 by Xycaleth Archangel35757, Omicron, Odeyseis and 3 others like this

Ruxith Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 Yeah no issues here on windows side either, I can confirm that the crash when attaching a model to a tag is fixed, but i'll wait until they get added to the left panel to test properly as I attach a model to a model that has been attached already to a tag of the model loaded initially (xD). Not sure if anyone's mentioned yet but .ideal files load fine with models aswell, those that save the zoom and angle of a session in modview.
Circa Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 @@Xycaleth I've been using the Mac version since you released it, and it works really well! Is it possible to make a Mac version of MD3View as well?
Xycaleth Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 Forgot to reply to this post! It should be possible to make a Mac version of MD3View. I did have plans to integrate MD3 formats into ModView, but ModView itself is on the back burner at the moment as I'm struggling to find time. I do hope to come back to this at some point though.

minilogoguy18 Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 I think the problem you'll have with making ModView open MD3 files is that the transforms are different between the formats. If you open 2 of the same model in both formats in both programs and turn on the option that lets you see the transform axis you'll see what I mean, I can kinda demonstrate with this tag picture as they're handled differently as well between the 2 formats. You'd probably just save yourself loads of time just keeping it 2 separate programs and improving on their functionality.
Xycaleth Posted August 7, 2015 Author Posted August 7, 2015 That's a pretty trivial change to make if I ever get around to adding MD3 support But thanks for pointing that out!
Tempust85 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Looks like a 90 degree change between the formats.
dark_apprentice Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Hey i might asking the wrong question and to look stupid, but even that i understand it's a very hard work to create something like this and all the time coding, I've gotta ask...Is it possible to add a function/button, that allows the users to decide if they want to see the character inside ModView with or without the model's shader? Cuz if they wanna test something with the shaders it would require to open JKA, start the mission, spawn the model and do this like 100 times until they reach what they want from the shader?
Cerez Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 @@dark_apprentice As far as I know, ModView has some limited shader support, but first @@Xycaleth would need to finish the shader implementation, which is still not stably implemented at the moment. I wouldn't hold my breath on this, but maybe eventually it'll be possible. dark_apprentice likes this
