Re: [Nel] Exporter Plugin for 3DSMAX 4.0

[Valerio Santinelli]

I've had to do some other things in order to get the plugin running.

 

In the docs, you're saying which ms scripts to move to the scripts directory of 3dsmax, but there are 2 scripts left out. I had to copy them both:

 

nel_flare.ms

nel_ps.ms

 

 

I'm also missing object_viewer.cfg

I cannot find it anywhere in NeL's cvs.

 

I'm also trying to compile the various .dlu and such but I'm stuck with this error:

 

--------------------Configuration: nel_mesh_lib - Win32 ReleaseDebug--------------------
Compiling...
calc_lm.cpp
C:\Programmi\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\nevrax\code\nel\tools\3d\plugin_max\nel_mesh_lib\calc_lm.cpp(256) : error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'class ExclList' to 'class NameTab &'
        A reference that is not to 'const' cannot be bound to a non-lvalue
Error executing cl.exe.

 

 

I'm also attaching the diffs to the files I patched in order to work with 3dsmax 4.0 SDK.

Subject: [Nel] Exporter Plugin for 3DSMAX 4.0

hmm.. I got a new error I didn't notice before:

 

calc_lm.cpp
C:\Programmi\Microsoft Visual Studio\MyProjects\nevrax\code\nel\tools\3d\plugin_max\nel_mesh_lib\calc_lm.cpp(256) : error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'class ExclList' to 'class NameTab &'
        A reference that is not to 'const' cannot be bound to a non-lvalue

 

But the three lines about min() and max() did miracles ;)

 

 

 

Here's an extract about the Class PatchEdge of the new Max SDK

 

class PatchEdge

 

Description:

 

This class describes a patch edge using the vertices at the edge ends, and the indices of the patches sharing the edge.  All methods of this class are implemented by the system.

 

Data Members:

 

public:

 

int v1;

 

Index of the first vertex.

 

int vec12;

 

Vector from v1 to v2.

 

int vec21;

 

Vector from v2 to v1.

 

int v2;

 

Index of second vertex.

 

IntTab patches;

 

Index of the patches using this edge. If the edge is only used by one patch, patches[1] will be less than zero. Note: Previous to R4.0 two separate integer variables (
patch1 and patch2) were used.

 

int aux1;

 

This is used to track topology changes during editing (Edit Patch).

 

int aux2;

 

This is used to track topology changes during editing (PatchMesh).

 

 

I'm going to try to patch the code myself.. let's see what happens ;)
