I want to move away from another engine, but also don't want to re-create all what I have from scratch in CC. I am able to extract the terrains' heightmaps and the objects'/entities' positions from the old levels. So, the idea is to produce a CSV list of all objects of a level by * their fully qualified pathnames , * optionally an entity name for CC (like "ree001"), * the respective xyz-positions, * possibly a scaling factor, have CC read it, import the models and create the entities in CC. I am well aware that all sorts of problems may occur (e.g. concerning precision/transformation), but a parametricable migration program may help overcome this, so that only minor manually adjustments remain. . It is obvious that there is no set function for this in CC, but can the import be done with JS (almost sure, because it is a programming language) within CC by the user (which I am not so sure ), or would this have to be programmed into CC's kernal ? Best regards Y. |

Yes, you can import models using the command line interface: https://www.ambiera.com/coppercu... But only works for one model, so this is probably a bit of limited use. |

Thanks Niko, and yes, it's no appropriate solution for what I had in mind. Guess I'll be better off manually, since CC -usually- is good at importing models, so, settting the xyz position from my export list manually is not so bad. |

Hi, Niko Induced by another user's entry, I realized that by having acquired CC5 Pro version originally, I am authorized to download significant parts of the Source code. I just did, poked around a little, and it looks like I could principally create my own add-on aiming at "mass import" of a number of models in one go using COBJMeshFileLoader.cpp Is that technically feasible, or am I totally wrong, or just looking at the wrong piece of code ? Is there any legal problem with such an undertaking ? Since this looks like employing a core functionality of Irrlicht, would such an add-on port over to CC6 rather easily ? I am well aware that I'd have to take care of possible problems occurring by myself, and I would definitely not modify the code but rather use the dll. But I want to avoid investing a lot of work into such an idea and THEN find out that there is some barrier blocking me off. Thanks Y. |
