Adds multiple new commands to the auto-editing routine

LS, i downloaded this just now, what does the little black window do in the bottom right corner? Is it a texture display or model display? Nothing is going on in there apart from blackness

I was looking at the CMP which explains why i saw nothing although the model i’m viewing would be nice to see. When i opened up the mat file i saw the textures so that helps a lot

One thing i have noticed is if i have another window open that overlaps the editor, the texture in the viewer disappears. Only way to get it back is to reload the texture

LancerSolurus

Ahh, no problem, I will just have it redraw the window when it gets the user’s focus back.

**Got some new info for the animators out there, all is not as it seems in the Animation nodes , W0dk4, you may want to update your tutorial. All of this information was obtained by building the editor and scripter for the Header and Frame nodes in br_01_avalon_cityscape.cmp and several others.

Header

4 bytes - ULONG - Frame Count
4 bytes - FLOAT - Frame Delay ( -1 = store timing in ‘Frames’, used for variable frame timing )
4 bytes - ULONG - Type

Frames

Total Entries depends on ‘Frame Delay’, below is a single entry from the ‘Frame Count’ list

Frame Delay = -1

4 bytes - FLOAT - seconds
4 bytes - FLOAT - angle in radians

Frame Delay not = -1

4 bytes - FLOAT - angle in radians**

You’re way ahead of all of us here, Lancer! 8-)

But keep it up, hopefully one day I will be able to click on 3-4 buttons and get a fully working sur to fit my cmp!

'Course by then you and I will still be using mobile phones when others are using implanted chips!

**New version released 0.005

All exporters fixed to show proper values
Switch2 added for float array
Just about every single FL node should be check for now
Save routine finally fixed, now it properly compiles the node name into a single tree and also sets the proper offsets for data, strings and tree linkages. The UTF files should now work within your game.

See the first post to download the latest version**

It’s still doing the disappearing texture thing when you have more than one window open. For instance i’ve just opened my browser to report this which is covering the editor. Texture has disappeared that i was looking at, now i have to reload the file to view it again lol

LancerSolurus

**Odd, I just simply reclick on the node and it shows back up. I haven’t added in the focus update yet, this was simply a release for testing since I ‘hopefully’ got the save function properly working.

Thanks for testing though!**
