Wireframe Editing
-
I need a program that can help me with editing wireframes. As it stands now, creating a wireframe for a ship takes days, hurts the hand, and causes a headache from looking at hex too long. There are two ways that would reduce this time drastically. These aren’t programs that necessarily have to be made; they could very well be already made. The problem is finding it.
The first thing that would be very helpful would be a way to transform a line with two vertex numbers into hex. It would go something like this:
(From FLModelTool)
148 -> 149 149 -> 153 153 -> 162 162 -> 158 158 -> 156 156 -> 148 158 -> 149This would produce a file that, in my hex editor XVI32, would look like:
94009500950099009900A200A2009E009E009C009C0094009E009500You can probably guess that staring at code like that for hours on end will drive a person insane sooner or later. Fortunately for myself, I went insane many years ago, so the only effect this has on me is a massive headache… which is arguably worse. At any rate, by inputting data like it is in the first part, I can save myself hours of tracking down errors I made by not putting in a number where I should or some such and the other.
The second part is simple. I want a program that can tell me how many individual vertices I have. From the above example, I would have six (148, 149, 153, 156, 158, 162). It would also be helpful to know what my largest vertex number is (162 in this case). So, go my little minions! Search or create, please, and receive my eternal gratitude.

Do you have MSN? ;D
-
I meant if you had MSN Messenger, also known as Windows Live Messenger. Basically something called a “chat application”
-
Instead of MSN, why don’t we just all join a mailing list, such as maybe a group at Yahoo Groups.
It basically allows for a group facility where emails can be sent to the group all in one shot, they can select to get each email or a daily digest etc.
The messages are archived and allows for storage of files and code, it would be a good tool to bring the modders together under a central group.
But if you prefer, having everyones msn is fine lol.
You gave me the idea there, I’m funny like that

I like MSN because it’s quick and discrete. Conversations take a long time over e-mail. Forksaken and I chat over MSN all the time
It’s quite nice. -
if you want to create wireframes of a simple object than the wireframe tool is good enough and it takes somewhat between 2-5mins to create a working wireframe
unfortunatly that tool fails if you have very complex models and try to build a wireframe coz there seem to be a limits that the tool can not handle
