New Modview

[Xycaleth]

Quick mockup of the dialog box to edit floor options. Still need to add text box for grid size, but that's what I imagine it will look like roughly.

Will the custom height slider show a real-time view of the floor moving in the viewport?

[Xycaleth]

Yup

Please add a checker size or grid size option-- preferably matching the available grid divisions of GtKRadiant-- i.e., multiples of 2.

 

Like wise, IMO, I think the custom floor height should slide in increments that also match GtKRadiant divisions. A spinner box with a number display (so you can just type in the #) would take up less room and give you a numerical readout as well.

 

Also, would you add a grid size spinner box control (increment in multiples of 2)-- could control both the checker size and grid overlay size.

 

Nice work!

What's the difference between checker size and grid overlay size? Do you mean for the checkered pattern and the wireframe grid?

[Archangel35757]

@@Xycaleth -- yes. That is what I meant. You could have one control that governs them both.

Would be good if there's an option for custom floor texture too, but great work nonetheless!

[Omicron]

Any updates for this @@Xycaleth? Would be awesome if a beta could be released for it; alpha channels for the wookiee are especially annoying to do deal with when making icons, promos and such

[Xycaleth]

Ah, sorry. After taking a break from everything this completely left my mind. I'll make sure I come back to it, but no updates for now. If people don't mind a half-working version, I can release what I've done so far. It includes a half assed fix for transparent textures (like on Chewie), the problem with it being that you can sometimes see all the way through the model where the texture is transparent.

I'd love to tinker with the Mac version, if you want testers.

[Omicron]

Ahh, no worries, forgot you took a break. I'd love to have a copy of it to test out if that's possible

[DT.]

Yeah I'll give it a go as well.

[Kualan]

As someone who tinkers with Modview a LOT (albeit for machinima purposes) I'd also be happy to give any 'beta' version a test run.

[Xycaleth]

Ok cool I'll try to get some test version out in the next few days. Need to make sure that where ever I got to is still in a fairly usable state

[Xycaleth]

Here's the build for Windows. You'll probably find a fair few things unfinished, but it should be useable on the whole:

OS X build to come soon.

I get "This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows". Reinstalling the application MAY fix this problem" when I attempt to run this version of Modview. Is the .zip missing a couple of dependent files/directories?

[Xycaleth]

Urgh, apparently I'm missing *something* but I don't know what. I'll have a look around.

[Xycaleth]

Try again: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/874909/JKHub/ModView-Win32-03112014.zip

 

Also, OS X version which hopefully works: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/874909/JKHub/ModView-OSX-03112014.zip

[Omicron]

I get that error Kualan posted for both zip's

[Xycaleth]

Third time lucky? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/874909/JKHub/ModView-Win32-03112014.zip

[Ruxith]

Same error

[Mandalorian]

I'm getting it too. Only downloaded the last link.

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!

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:
