CMP to SUR Conversion Tests

Lancer -

Thanks for replying.

No I’m not asking for so much work. I’m trying to help you dump it by accepting less.

This is the third/fourth time I repeat myself:-

I’m only asking for these for the existing version of builder:

1. Issue a message if less than 8 vertices & skip the sur build for that cmp group. So the modder knows which groups he has to rework.

2. Squish a sphere 1m round the ship if the shield bubble option is selected.

I believe you started by squishing spheres round parts? So you have the method already.

+1
the program is allready good
with these two options he will be excellent

on my side the amount of memory used is not so catastrophic
i’m almost sure that all the moders have a good amount of RAM
so don’t waste your time on this, i’m sure you have more interesting to do

Lancer’s not going to do hardpoints RimShot, it’s already been dumped because he has so many other projects on the go.

I’m just trying to get LS to make these small changes and then dump it, so at least we know by messages when a model hasn’t been sur’d instead of having to inspect it closely, and get a shield bubble option for when we want one, on a small ship.

So - LS:

Please read post #552 above, please.

Can we get it this afternoon please?

Pretty please with sugar on the top?

A sweet potato too?

A model Shaguar car?

??

Then I will leave you in peace and go hibernate for the winter.

Read post #552 please!

If you post below this one then please copy this message (Read post #552 please!) into your post so Lancer can find what I want him to read or he will not even read it.

This topic is getting more and more

So, is the SUR tool redy? Or there isn’t gonna be one?

BTW F!R, this video was really “fascinating”!

Just to shift focus a little, I’ve put up an update to msSURImporter. The center of each surface now has its own group; 3db surs are called S1_Model; and materials are prefixed with “s_”.

Adoxa, thanks for the updated importer.

What’s the purpose of the centres?

To see where they are, since this centre (of gravity) is not necessarily the physical centre of the model.

Thanks, good idea.

So - I think I have waited long enough for any movement on the Sur Builder, this is now another dead project.

Yet again another one so close - yet unfinished.

I can’t see your side for not completing it at all, Lancer Solurus. If it were me I couldn’t leave it when it is so close, it would have been a matter of personal pride to complete it for me having made it to where it is now.

I am currently learning for tests (University) so until I wrote those you wont hear from me. I am only doing things which I am in the mood for until then.

Don’t worry Schmackbolzen, my criticism is for the Sur Builder being killed off, not for your offer.

I and many others will appreciate your sur exporter plugin when you are ready to try it, I know real life is always first for all of us. Adoxa also had an intention to write a new exporter plugin, maybe by working together you can succeed.

Good luck and many thanks.
