How to work with scene created with coppercube irredit

[insomniac1]

My question is when i create a scene with irredit export it as .irr how do i work with the file?
Inside the .irr file created with irredit what is this <node type="unsupported"> I think it should be terrain?
I load my file the same way as example 15 but the only thing that shows is the test cube.
How do I load the trees, grass etc?

Edit: When I open the .irr file and change <node type="unsupported"> to <node type="animatedMesh"> it loads the scene but as you can see does not load correctly.

The console outputs

Sorry, you have to ask on Ambierra forum. My guess would be Niko created new nodes which Irrlicht does not support and on export calls them "unsupported" so people realize it's not working in .irr, but the data is still there, so someone could make it work. Thought a bit strange name as it could use any name and it would just not load.

Maybe it's really meant to be used with Coppercube these days.

Thanks, I created an account on their forum last night and posted I'm not sure if there is a minimum time after account creation you have to wait before you can post but it did not show up on the forum. I will try there again.
I am at a critical point in my game where I need come up with the maps structure and trying to not recreate the wheel lol! hopfully I can use irredit and not have to create my own editor.

Edit: Added new post on there forum still not showing up!

[CuteAlien]

OK, I hope they can help you. If you want you can also put a project you exported somehwere online and I an take a look in case I get more ideas when I see the file.

Btw, writing your own editor is not so bad really. When I did that for my racer it took a bit over 5% of the development time. Far, far less than I spend for example on the UI... should have written better UI tools as well I guess. And it gave me full control over formats to use. And I could do stuff like adding special lines I needed for my AI tracks. And I re-used it once more later with tiny changes for another project. And these days I make most of my money by coding on an editor for architectects (with Irrlicht!) ;-)

edit: Maybe also take a look at http://irrrpgbuilder.sourceforge.net in case it can be used for your project.

Well still nothing on the coppercube forum but thankyou, you convinced me that I do need to create my own editor!

[CuteAlien]

OK. If you want to take a look at my editor - the link is in my .sig here, part of the racer sources. You have to set HC1_ENABLE_EDITOR when compiling the project in compile_config.h. Then press 'e' in the start-screen to start the editor (for testing you can load all level files). But can take a peek at sources without having to compile. Main stuff is in src/editor.cpp or .h and src/gui_dialogs/gui_editor.cpp or .h.

Thought it's not as nice as irrEdit:

You might be able to salvage the work we did a long time ago to create an open source scene editor for irrlicht.
EditIrr Forum post and I think you can download it still from sourceforge

[insomniac1]

@Thankyou both!

[insomniac1]

I found a work arround for the trees when your creating your scene in irredit create a tree(plant) as a static mesh then export it as irrmesh, delete that tree and import the tree you exported as a animated mesh then distribute over terrain!

[CuteAlien]

Well, if you can post the full file (with all files included in it) somewhere I can take a look maybe (in case it's just an easy to fix bug).

Thankyou heres the fileshttps://www.mediafire.com/file/yjrqvyri ... e.zip/file

OK, guess Niko (CopperCube coder) hasn't updated .irr exporter for some types. So exporter writes "unsupported" for node-types it doesn't know. Looks like some kind of grouping node maybe. So using animatedMesh without having mesh kinda works for it.
Alternatively you could add a SceneNode factory for type "unsupported" which returns some dummy node (then you wouldn't have to change the .irr file itself, but could handle it in code).

And yeah "##tree2" looks like some name which doesn't get resolved on export. Should be reported as bug to Ambierra - likely easy to fix.

But could be Niko takes a small coding pause right now, he got a new kid last week ;-)

Thanks for looking over the files, Ill report that bug to ambierra at some point.
I will add a scene node factory for type unsupported.
