Sept. 20: There is news, scroll down for it

Second plugin! Yay!
And guess what, this one is actually useful!

This plugin allows you to create copies of objects in your scene. You can assign them a random rotation, scaling or translation. Also, you can let the object stand upright on the ground where you place it.

It might sound unspectacular but I think there are quite a few things you can do with it.

Examples!

Nature:

This is a plane with some pebbles placed on it

(image host got removed)
Here is a river with grass on its side. Doing this without the plugin would take you hours! Well, probably not, but it's a lot more comfortable now.

Decals:

(image host got removed)
Now, you can create decals everywhere on your map with a simple click. This can be bullet holes, cracks in the wall or things I can't think of at the moment!

Other uses:
(image host got removed)
Maybe?

There will be published another plugin by me, soon. I actually wrote the other one before but I wanted to create an example screenshot where I needed some kind of tool like this, so this plugin was born!

Comments, bug finds etc. are most welcome!

Also, this is supposed to be a preview release. If there are no complaints, it can be uploaded to delgine.com in, say, a week!

Here is the download! November 6th 2008: I forgot to upload the help .txt with it, please figure it out by yourselves :p

Cheers!

Okay, apparently I should have tested it better before. The "ignore created objects when cloning" option does not work. Man, I swear it was working before! I'll see if I can find what's wrong here. Also, the checkbox for rendering textures makes no effect, I forgot to remove it.
Plus, you should know that when sending objects back to DeleD, only the objects are sent back that were created by the plugin.

Oh, I almost forgot about this one.
Sure I could.

First, load or create a scene and start the plugin. You will hopefully see the scene rendered in a 3D view. The camera will cycle around the scene centre by default.
Then, select one or more objects with Shift+Left Mouse, like you do in DeleD. This will be your source object(s). Selected objects will be highlighted. Now, select Clone in the Action field and set up everything like you want to. Then, you can start placing the object(s) on your map by simply left clicking on the point where you want to copy them to. You can also scale and rotate all created objects in your scene (select them and chose scale/rotate in the action field).
For further help have a look at the readme.txt or just go ahead and ask Wink

I guess I'll just have a second look at the plugin and release it without major changes.

For a second there it worked.. now for some reason all I see is a black screen instead of my scene.. I tried restarting deled and even re extracting the zip file into the plugins directory.. still the screen is all black Shocked

So yeah, looks like I forgot about this plugin.

But I removed a few bugs today and added standard opengl lighting and I think it's ready to be put on the website, then.

Also, I renamed it to "Object Placer" for some reasons.

Here is it.

Adar - can't help you, sorry Crying or Very sad

try the recent version, maybe this will do it.

This plugin is pure genius..
You should make the placement controls a little more flexible and then this plugin could help users add fake textures, I mean use 1 texture for something and then flats over them with all sorts of things like bullet holes, scratches, air vents, blood marks, graffito or whatever instead of making different textures with those things.. a small upgrade of that plugin should be built in Deled ! Razz

Personally I can't wait for a more comfortable plugin to come out, I have tons of ideas for it already !

I updated the download link, this one will hopefully last for some years.

Also, I know the plugin is not very stable, I hope I'll fix that later or rewrite it completely, but this won't happen in a while now.
