I've never understood the "single item" prefab. I always make things in multiple parts, so being able to save my entire scene as a prefab would be the ultimate of fantastic.

Lots of things in DeleD require merges for no reason. Like exports.

Well, the NuXporter doesn't. And the code is open, so you can write other exporters too on top of it if you want. :-)
And, while I'm at it, what abouts that new-fangled multi-threaded kind of light map calculation that all the kidz are raving about? You know, the kind where you get to wait only a quarter as much, if you have a quad core CPU. |

PJ and I actually discussed the prefab format this weekend (we had a Delgine meeting) and one thing that came to mind is to use the .DXS format for prefabs as well. Simply save a scene to a .DXS file and have it listed in the Prefabs treeview for easy merging with your current scene. Of course, you don't want all your .DXS files in such a tree so you use the Export Prefab function if you specifically want this behaviour.
Would that help? |

Absolutely! That'd be great. Especially if it merged materials correctly ;-)
I was actually poking around the format to see what could be done, and wondering why it wasn't already updated to the same as the save file format... |

Unless you can point me to the topic where you reported this problem, and we all agreed there is really no specific reason why the merge was necessary (f.e. , the final format also supports multiple objects, but the specific 3rd party applications only reads in the first), I am calling "rant" on this post.

Are you really referring to some specific technique, or are you just requesting multithread lightmap calculations here? I am interested in every info you have on this topic, but improving the actually quality of the lightmapper is currently higher on our list than speed optimizations. |

I am being my charming, witty and hip self, making a request for multi-threaded light mapping, yes.
When it comes to quality, I think the main problem right now is around some L edges, where an edge of the geometry won't properly see that the attached face is shadowing it, and a light border gets generated along the crease. Other than that, I think it's quite usable. |

Reviving this. Please????? I almost killed DeleD tonight with everal objects that could easily have been exported, but had to be merged into one in order to get them into the scene properly as a prefab.

Might be because it's such a long time ago, but I really don't understand what merging has to do with exports there?
- If you want to merge, use merge.
- If merge is broken, try using the new .dsp exporter/importer from the plugin section. It effectively does the same thing.
- If you want to vote for multi-object prefabs... well, very much noted! |

Let's take my swingset as an example. It is easier to animate it if it's more than one object. The problem is, in order to get that swing into my deled world, I have to merge the whole object into one object, then export as a prefab.

| Why can't you just use the File->Merge? It takes in .dxs files...so you don't have to merge your components into a single object... |
