Hey guys,

Thought I will have a go at creating a plugin for Deled.
Since there was no Collada importer and I already had a (not complete) code for working with Collada, creating the plugin was merely writing code to interact with Deled and mixing the two together.
So here is the plugin.

The plugin is still not complete. There is a progress bar but it does nothing so when loading a large file it might seem stuck but hopefully it is not. There is a second text box that says Textures folder but currently does nothing and as mentioned above the Collada loader itself is incomplete, it loads only static geometry and materials no animation and no lights and will probably fail on a lot of files. If you encounter such files and if it is possible it would help me if you could send the files so I can check what went wrong.
Also, wanted to ask how to handle textures. should they be copied to the Deled texture directory or can Deled load them anywhere on the disk. If the former this might be a problem since copying the texture to Deled path might require elevated access(under Win7) since it sits in Program Files.

And last, in the process of writing this plugin I've written a(IMHO) nice set of classes in C++ to ease the creation of plugins in Deled and I'm willing to share the code...
The classes are used to store a Deled scene and load/save them from/to xml and also one small class called DeledInterface used to interact with the application.

So hope you like this plugin and that someone finds it useful.

Thanks.

Hi CableBuy,

Firstly, thanks for the Importer, my previous work-flow was to import into Blender (shudders), then export to OBJ, before importing into DeleD, with some mixed results, mainly with textures.

The current version of DeleD cannot reference textures etc outside its own file structure. As Collada in one of the only formats that doesn't pack its textures etc inside a single file, it hasn't been an issue before. This is outside of my skill set, but I'm sure others will be able to pick up on your query.

I hate those mega upload sites. Too many adds, have to wait too long.

Here is a mirror without those adds or wait time.

Edit: Updated importer to the release version.

I think there maybe a problem with the plug-in http://www.delgine.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4546 as suggested, it maybe that it needs to be compiled not in debug mode?

Indeed it was compiled in debug mode didn't think it would be a problem sorry for that but anyway even in release mode you would still need the Visual C++10 runtime files.
