Freelancer Mod Studio - 1.2

Ya, this is looking great! Keep it up and I can’t wait to use it!!!

RimShot

ah, i thought this was already done with the FLApi by obstbaum.
if not maybe i could help you, my “editor” was rendering new york at 50 fps last time i checked it with lighting. after adoxa gave me a hint about correct implementation of the Dc node i sorted that as well. i quit before optimizing the transparency stuff, and planets were unfinished as well. i spent most of my time for optimizations thats why the “editing stuff” is near non-existing, except for selecting objects in 3d.

stfx

I would really appreciate some help … please drop by in #the-starport irc

RimShot

irc, i will try to be there tomorrow, looks like we are in the same timezone so thats positive.

RimShot

sorry i couldnt make it. will try to be there when i can, so sooner or later we should meet.

stfx

nvm I think I already lost interest again

Schmackbolzen

Actually I don’t get it. You got loading and rendering etc. working and then you stop? This is like aborting a race when you are 100m from the goal…

P.S.: Yes I know you posted this a while back, but I was busy (and still am).

0.9.7 released

Download the latest version here or use the auto updater of your Freelancer Mod Studio.

Added selection of farest object in system editor when pressing shift+left mouse button

Added flat surface display for system paths and universe connections for more clear display

Improved systems in universe display

Improved brightness of zones

Fixed display of exclusion cylinders

Fixed display of objects getting too big by adding a maximum size

Fixed minimizing at maximized state on exiting program but cancelling it

This would essentially fix almost all the issues Igiss mentioned. I still cant figure out Freelancer’s way to rotate cylindrical zones so they still cant be rotated in the z-axis

BBalazs

Hooray
I believe many people have been enlightened by your post, even those that don’t really give much feedback, like me. Thanks for the update!

There is also a rotation issue, sorry i can`t remember correctly , it was about inversing Y with Z axis .

Do you maybe have some examples or more detailed info so that I can look into it?

Hey STFX,

With this last update, I’m unable to edit the FW:ToW systems anymore with the 3D editor. I keep on getting these errors:

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

 <configuration></configuration> 

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Also, question, when you get a chance to add this function, could you make your Mod Studio be able to add vignette zones like FLE? Just a simple click to add the zone and a click to where you want to put it? I’d really appreciate this functionality.

Thanks for all your work thus far!!

Looks like your HelixEngine.dll is outdated. How did you update the tool? via auto update or manual download? uninstalled the old version first (should not be needed but I still want to know)?

Sushi

I used the autoupdater. Reinstalling it did the trick, thanks!

Just fixed this issue. Some files where not replaced when installing over an already installed version (like auto update) because the version numbers of the dlls were the same

? Offline

And how to edit? Is’nt it just 3d preview with properties editor? After FL Explorer i fear to change anything by automated tools of this type

stfx

Oh boy why does everyone mention FLE in connection with not trusting tools anymore

Didn’t you already use it? It is perfectly safe. It doesnt change the ini section order (only the option order within each section to make it unified). It doesnt remove anything on its own (except comments). It only changes one file and not the whole mod.

And yes, currently it does not support transform using the mouse in the 3d view
