I made one. Hope it helps some people with their projects. I've tested on several maps, and it seems to work nicely. Here is the download link for the header, with example. If anyone finds anything wrong with it, please post here and I will correct whatever is wrong. Jeroen, if you want to upload it to your webspace I'd be much obliged Smile

. Plus, there seems to be an extra parameter just before the name of the lights, and I'm not sure what it is (can't find it in the help file). Does anyone know what it is?

Here is a sample of how it works.

Ok, I've renamed it, may as well to prevent confusion Smile

. And it probably will need it if you're planning to use the save function Wink

Good job joseph! Smile

I'll check it out and will put it online somewhere this week. So if you have any updates to take care off, please do so before that time. Wink

Well, I can't think of any updates I want to make soon, apart from maybe adding some more constants for the various types and modes. Can you tell me what values are used for these properties?

SnapMethod
ObjectType

And also, just out of curiosity, what are "Flash" and "GroupID" for lights and objects respectively.

I think flash is still useful for end-user projects... which is what it was introduced for in the first place Very Happy

Jeroen · Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2005 6:52 am Post subject:

That is correct. Initially, flash was intended to be used with Delgine 3D engine (made by Jim Haga a few years ago). I just never took it out and it can still be used for whatever purpose you want. DeleD just won't do anything with that info itself. Wink

Hi, what about a rendering method? And loading and applying textures?

I think you're missing the point. This is merely a class used to manipulate the dmf files in Delphi. It takes the strings in the DMF file and converts it into a user friendly record structure, or vice-verca. If you want to render the scene, then make your own engine (or find an existing one) and use this unit to convert the DMF format into your internal formats. For me to make a full rendering engine would be far more work, and a completely different situation all together.

Anyway, I've added the constants, so I'm done with editing the file now.

Yeah, you're probably right.
Sorry, i was thinking of something different Smile

Hi joseph, just looked at your Delphi Header files and saw that the constants for the snapmethods are all set to be 0 instead of what jeroen said ... just as a note Wink

But a that lib looks like a really good work to me, thanks Laughing

Regards, Alloc

Ok, corrected. I'll send it to Jeroen.
