Re: Item with same key? Please try duplicating the Grand Marshall with the tool and then replace what you need in the newly created folder. If you do like I show in my latest video you'll see it's very easy and it actually renames everything according to the new name you chose... keeping the files as they were except the JBeams in which each part is correctly renamed. For example if you want to duplicate the Grand Marshall open the tool then select it in the vehicle menu and click "Open". Then open the vehicle menu again and just change the name and label. For example name it "fullsize_dupe" and "Gavril Grand Marshall - DUPE". Then click "Save". After that it will appear in the list. You can then open the dupe. If you check your "vehicles" folder in the game directory you'll notice a "fullsize_dupe" folder has been created. And inside everything has been renamed like "fullsize_dupe.jbeam" or "fullsize_dupe_engine.jbeam" etc... And the "name.cs" file contains your "label" (vehicle display text). That could prevent such errors. If you still have some errors after that then let me know and I'll investigate it further - - - Updated - - - Update alpha 0.0.0.7 - Jbeam 3D Editor update A few but quite important changes in for the 3D editor in this version: added node names in 3D views (can be disabled on demand) ! added a possibility to prefix nodes (the number at the end will always be generated and unique, per vehicle part though) fixed the annoying repetitive bug when checking the nodes / beams controls after deleting a node in the 3D editor Node names: View attachment 15738 Node prefix: View attachment 15739 View attachment 15740 See first post for download or use this direct link.
Re: Real-Time Vehicle Editor - UPDATE 0.0.0.7: Node names & Prefix in 3D editor controls for the 3d editor? i cant seem to figure out how to select nodes, or multiple nodes either, all i can figure out, is how to add new nodes
Re: Real-Time Vehicle Editor - UPDATE 0.0.0.7: Node names & Prefix in 3D editor You haven't watched the video . You can't select multiple nodes currently sorry. You can only move one at a time (selecting has no purpose, hovering it with the mouse "selects" it) by holding left shift and using left mouse button. Please watch the video for everything else. It's better to have a video tutorial and it's there for a reason. - - - Updated - - - Good thing about my editor is that I can find every mistake you make . Consider it a mistake or not but it's not gonna be correct for my tool. Your problem comes from the flexbodies of the front brakes and rear brakes. You cleared the flexbody mesh names I guess waiting to find what to use (or your brakes to be modeled). Remove them OR just use some random mesh name (but unique per flexbody) in the meantime instead of a blank value. Here's what it looks like in your jbeam: (fullsize_suspension_F.jbeam and fullsize_suspension_R.jbeam) I changed the random meaningless error message I had with some that gives you a straight direction on where to look. Will be in the next version. Will look like this:
Re: Real-Time Vehicle Editor - UPDATE 0.0.0.7: Node names & Prefix in 3D editor ehhh, personally i find text with picture tutorials easier to follow (provided its a bit in depth, and not just like, 5 words)
van?? Thanks for this AWESOME tool !!! Just in time for me to start looking at building some jbeams for my current project I'm planning to look at the official 'van' for reference on some items, but it won't load in the editor. I get the "key defined" message. Did a search of this thread, but didn't see any specific reference to it (with the van). Am I overlooking something simple, or not implemented yet? Thanks again for a great tool !!!
Re: van?? It's the same as what I replied in post #123. It's either some values left empty or duplicated (like there it was both, 2 empty mesh names in flexbodies). When I get home I'll tell you where the error is. Next release will provide more verbose error message as you can see from the screenshot I made.
Re: van?? Thanks for the quick response. I saw that post, but looked like they had done some manual manipulation (maybe?). I'm a programmer as well, and familiar with .NET/C#, so I kinda figured what the error meant, just wasn't sure where to start looking in the vehicle files. I'll poke around though, and see if I can find anything.
Re: Real-Time Vehicle Editor - UPDATE 0.0.0.7: Node names & Prefix in 3D editor Thanks for the editor, Greg! It's very intuitive, even without watching the tutorial video I was able to create a simple cube in a few minutes. Granted it imploded the moment I loaded it into the game, but I'm pretty sure I left a value or two blank somewhere. Now I have to read up on good .jbeam techniques instead of studying for midterms.
Re: van?? It's because of some hubWheel info that I didn't take into account. I'll include them (inline properties). EDIT: Wait it's defined as a grouping property and also as a single prop. But that should work fine. I'll see why it doesn't accept it... EDIT 2: Ok I was not saving properties in the correct manner when reading files. Editing was fine though. Here's the Van body after successful laod .
Re: Real-Time Vehicle Editor - UPDATE 0.0.0.8: Critical update ! (errors & 3D editor) Update alpha 0.0.0.8 - Critical update Alright this update is essentially aimed at fixing problems with loading vehicles that may contain some little errors. It will now warn you about what was found that seemed not correct with a precise message on where it is located. Also those errors now don't block you. You can still open your vehicle even with errors. The other important part of this update is about the 3D editor. You can now select colors & sizes for nodes & beams. But the biggest addition is the panel with all the vehicle parts. That panel allows you to select which parts you want to be visible. Yes you can now display multiple parts at once in the editor. And by the way colors are saved in config file so you get them back when you restart the tool. Here's a full change list: more descriptive error messages fixed vehicles not loading on errors fixed element properties not loading correctly when co-existing as a grouping property and inline property fixed maximizing views not working in 3D editor fixed ref nodes that couldn't be loaded when belonging to another part than the selected one added controls in 3D editor to change color and size of nodes/beams of different types added vehicle parts panel in 3D editor to allow displaying multiple parts And here's the most screenshot I got for this one: For download see first post or use this direct link. - - - Updated - - - For those reading there's still a little problem in the 3D editor in v0.0.0.8 when removing a node. If you don't release alt before the mouse it will select the next node and when releasing it will delete it as well. So release alt before releasing the mouse. I'll change that in the next release. Also deleted node names remain visible until you switch tab and come back. To be fixed as well. - - - Updated - - - Just a little screenshot for DrowsySam
Re: Real-Time Vehicle Editor - UPDATE 0.0.0.8: Critical update ! (errors & 3D editor) AHHHH! a 3d editor now its like modelling and i can hopefully make something!
Re: Real-Time Vehicle Editor - UPDATE 0.0.0.8: Critical update ! (errors & 3D editor) News - Alpha 9 featuring triangle 3D edition The next release is coming probably tomorrow with some (I hope) nice changes. Among them the ability to add and edit triangles in 3D in addition to nodes and beams. Here's a sample screenshot of the Civetta Bolide's body with triangles rendered:
Re: Real-Time Vehicle Editor - UPDATE 0.0.0.8: Critical update ! (errors & 3D editor) This editor is just amazing, thank you! Could it be possible for you to make a video on starting a jbeam?
Re: Real-Time Vehicle Editor - UPDATE 0.0.0.8: Critical update ! (errors & 3D editor) Your editor is amazing, not easy to done this. RESPECT!! please donate....the work is not free
Re: Real-Time Vehicle Editor - UPDATE 0.0.0.8: Critical update ! (errors & 3D editor) Yes I planned on doing this soon. But it would be nice if someone could provide me with a simple 3D model in format .obj/.3ds/.lwo with correct scales (that matches the game scales and would eventually already have been seen in-game. That would let me take the opportunity to include the functionality to display a 3D model in the editor as well (which does not work with Collada yet). Thanks a lot for your support .
Re: Real-Time Vehicle Editor - UPDATE 0.0.0.8: Critical update ! (errors & 3D editor) Awesome! I was actually going to ask if there was anyway to import the 3D model coming up in the next update. Hopefully someone finds this and helps you, I'm useless when it comes to coding.
Re: Real-Time Vehicle Editor - UPDATE 0.0.0.8: Critical update ! (errors & 3D editor) I just received this error after opening and closing the program. The only thing done in between was loading the vehicle into the actual engine. What could have caused this? If there is a better place to post this, please tell me.
