MD3 update

madinitaly · Post by **madinitaly** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 10:56 am

I don't know if somebody is still interested, but I've updated my MD3 loader

As always it's downloadable from my home page (http://aitolikon.sf.net), but now also from the sourceforge project page (http://sourceforge.net/projects/aitolikon/).

I will have a look at it let's see if there is a difference to mine.
you weren't here for a long time i think wb

Yup, I wasn't here for three months because of problems with my ISP (three months without internet access and my phone not working once every two days)*.
Now, today I've fixed some memory leaks and integrated the loader with Irrlicht 0.6

If somebody isn't satisfied with this excuse, I put a random excuse generator on my home page

have you already fixed the bug that prevented some md3 models from working? because some parts of your code didn'T work very well with some md3 models that's why i completely rewrote the loading routine (see the page in my sig)

Models with more than one surface aren't managed correctly. I'm looking at your code, and it's very good and clean!

Does it load md3s with multiple surfaces?

as far as i know it seems to load every mesh even the ones that are regarded as too big by your code. i just removed the limitations and i don't recalculate the normals but i think i should add that because of lightning and such things i think

A very good job indeed! I'll see where was my code wrong and fix it, then I'll start to "diverge" making my loader appropriate for my project (which is a totally different thing from Quake3 :p ).

r2, downloading your new readme to see what I was doing wrong.

Madinitaly, I'm glad you upgraded your ver to Irrlicht 0.6

you 2 guys should work together on a standardized version of the loader!!!

cheers!

there's setill one confusing thing in the readme doc:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CSceneManager.cpp
add to includes:

#include "CMD3MeshFileLoader.h"

and after MeshLoaderList.push_back(new CMD3MeshFileLoader(FileSystem, Driver)); :

MeshLoaderList.push_back(new CMD3MeshFileLoader(FileSystem, Driver));
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

you say "after MeshLoaderList.push_back(new CMD3MeshFileLoader(FileSystem, Driver)); :

MeshLoaderList.push_back(new CMD3MeshFileLoader(FileSystem, Driver));"

as if they line existed but it doesn't. And then you don't say what to write or where. I think this is the part where most of us screw the patch.

I just updated the readme now it's a doc file that should be much easier to read.

r2d2 you are the man!

I've found my errors in surface loading, and it works perfectly!
Now I can concentrate in customization for my project
