XWA Upgrade

Hello,
Here is a WIP version of a new tool.

Xwa Mission 3D Viewer shows a 3D preview of the crafts in a mission.

XwaMission3DViewer.zip

Oooooh! You implemented the direction vector, too! Great work!

BTW, added this topic to the summary thread

This is excellent! Great work!

Wow, this would be amazing for integration into Yogme.

Does it have a slider for mission time to see the travel times and routes/speeds of cap ships? That would be nice.

Thankyou Jaramy for your great work! This will be very usefull for player who want to have fun creating his own mission. Well done!!!

Amazing job with this mission viewer tool! Since all the Flight Groups are shown entirely with the proper formation, this will open a new dimension to mission editing.
A position edit using AlliED will be immediately checked with the Mission 3D Viewer without the need to load the mission in game.

Nice!

This thing is immense! You are the best, Jeremy.

Well done, thanks!

UPDATE

I've improved the startup loading time

This is along the lines of what I always wanted to get YOGEME's map editor to. I have a branch open for it, was planning on using your OPT library when I found the time to actually sit down and work on it again.

This happens when I try to upen a mission with a craft located in slot number 191 (used by Katana Warship in DSUCP). ALLIED also has a problem with this slot: the dot that represents the ship disappears from the map after the first save.

OK

UPDATE
I"ve fixed a bug with species index 232 (used by Katana Warship).

The problem is that:
The species table has 232 entries. The index used by the Katana Warship is index 232. This index is outside the species table. The species table is followed by the planets table. Species index 232 is read in the first entry of the planets table. A planet index of 0 means that the flightgroups entry is not a planet. So it is safe to overwrite the first planet entry. That's why a species index of 232 can be safetly used.

The program reads only the first 232 entries. I've fixed that. Now, the program reads 233 entries.

Thanks!!!!!

Truly outstanding work, Jeremy!

Because of realistic illumination, the 3D map could be very dark. In the first stage of mission editing without backdrops it's impossible to use it.
I like the realistic illumination, but is it possible to add some sort of "editing illumination" that you can switch on and off?

Thanks!

UPDATE

I've added a "Show Edit Lights" button.

It's perfect. As always, great work!

Hello,

I've added XwaMission3DViewer to XwaToolsDownloader and published the source code to GitHub.
