Hi everyone. I'm currently in the mood for writing plugins for DeleD so I'm looking for some ideas. Either importers/exporters or anything else you can think of.

I'm just finishing up with a wavefront .obj exporter which should be available soon.

Great! If I think of something, I'll let you know immediately! Very Happy

Btw, I'm just wondering how you managed to write a plugin in the first place? I mean, there isn't much info available about writing plugins yet.

heh thats true. I looked at the example code and the plugin template code for the api calls and then did a bit of trial and error Wink

I incorporated extracting data from deled into my dmf parsing code and now it's really easy to get information from deled and then manipulate it.

Great!

I'm very glad the example code proved useful!

I think it would be cool to have exporters to the Quake format so people can use DeleD to make Quake levels.

That would be the .map format.

How about a pluggin for the torque engine. (don't ask me the format. I'm still puzzled looking at that thing)

If you are interested there is a tried and tested implementation which loads, writes, imports, exports and manipulates dmf files on my web site. It is written in c to help keep it portable. The dll template project is for Visual Studio 8. There is a version on the delgine site but it is way out of date and doesn't handle the importing / exporting functions.

If you don't want to use it directly, it could serve as a reference for building your own routines.

What happenned to the old plugin template? The link went dead and I forgot to back it up last week when I formatted. Crying or Very sad

Does this new one serve the same purposes?

Only thing there is the old templates for devC++, not the newer codeblocks ones.

Uhm, I just got the idea of a basic tutorial plugin, which isn't possible with the current plugin system though (because you would have to access DeleD while running the plugin).
You would start the plugin where you would have some text or pictures and it would access what you do with the scene, so it would lead you through a tutorial. I.e. it would say "now, select the ... vertices" etc., as a guide to make things easier for completely new users.
Yeah, just wanted to dump the idea here.
