Hey guys,

I think I've found a bug in the Collada exporter. Good news are I've looked at the source and know how to fix it (just a simple fix really). Bad news are I haven't got any Delphi compiler to test it.

Does anyone here has access to a Delphi compiler?

Does this mean the project has officially zero active developers?

There are a number of people who have a Delphi compiler, but appearantly nobody is motivated to dive into the Collada exporter (which is understandable, given the daunting nature of the Collada format imho).

I am, however, willing to give it a try if you know exactly where I need to fix things? Let me know!

Sure.

The file is in /trunk/collada/Source/Applications/Exporter/Exporter/DCColladaWriterCl.pas

lines 493 & 494 read:
aWriter.AppendProperty( 'input_semantic', 'TEX_COORD' );
aWriter.AppendProperty( 'input_set', 0 );

but should be:
aWriter.AppendProperty( 'input_semantic', 'TEXCOORD' );
aWriter.AppendProperty( 'input_set', 1 );

The change is that the input set should be 1 and according to the collada spec it is TEXCOORD and not TEX_COORD

Thanks for your time.

PS: I totally agree that the Collada format is daunting and over engineered but imho is the only format that can be safely used as an interchange format (3ds and obj can get you so far...)

Ok, that should be easily fixable. Smile

Will let you know when done!
