DeleD Community Edition

[jwatte]

Not matching the big news today, but I made a new release of NuXporter available on my web site. This version includes a checkbox that allows you to choose whether to export left-handed or right-handed geometry.

For those new to it: NuXporter is an exporter for .x files which includes shadow map coordinates, allows you to set effect names, exports crisp normals, and a few other things missing in the DeleD supplied exporter.

Ah, great news! Your NuXporter is a quality product, thanks for taking taking the time to further improve it!

[Jeroen]

As of now, we're hosting the NuXporter on delgine.com too! Thanks indeed to JWatte!

Does this not work with the LITE version? I get a version mismatch in the plugin log when I open DeleD with it.

This plugin has to be converted to match the new plugin architecture. I sure hope JWatte will find the time to convert the plugin. (*hint hint*)

Hmm, yes, I've been a bit AWOL. And, unfortunately, I don't think that'll end anytime soon :-(

You might want to check this out, though, if you have some spare time :-)

I created a 1.6 branch, but it has had no work done on it yet. I'll accept patches :-)

It would be very useful if the highest ID of the returned vertices would be included as an attribute of the <vertices> element. That way, someone can pre-allocate an array of the right size.

Btw: the <poly> element is, uh, a little too verbose for my taste :-) But I'll survive.

[Paul-Jan]

That might be convenient, indeed! Especially given possible features uses of replacing existing vertices...

Pre-allocating arrays is a matter of taste, I guess. How will you deal with the situation where some model uses vertex ID's 1000000-1000010? Although I can probably tell you that this will never happen, because Jeroen is in the same camp as you on this one, and likes the ID's to be indices.... so there you go .
