I recently built a mod (Ambulance Rescue Pack) where I used a preexisting resource (Crash Test Dummy). It was used with permission, so it's cool. The normal spawn position for the CTD is standing up. However, I needed it to be lying down on a gurney in the back of the ambulance. Slots have the "nodeOffset" and "nodeMove" directives, which translate the object going in that slot, but there doesn't seem to be a directive to rotate stuff. I wasn't sure exactly what 3D app I could use to perform the rotation, and I wasn't sure how long it would take me to figure it out, so I wrote my own code to rotate the JBEAM and DAE file coordinates around the origin. I've attached the code to this posting in a ZIP file. It's written in as vanilla C as I could muster. It's a console app with the following arguments: [1] X-axis rotation, in degrees [2] Y-axis rotation, in degrees [3] Z-axis rotation, in degrees [4] Rotation order: [xyz, xzy, yxz, yzx, zxy, zyx] [5] X translation, in meters I think [6] Y translation, in meters I think [7] Z translation, in meters I think [8] Name of JBEAM file to transform [9] Name of DAE file to transform Is this the most elegant & robust code in the world? Absolutely not, but it works. If you need to rotate all of the node coordinates in JBEAM and DAE files, feel free to use this, and modify it to suit your particular purpose. No warranties, expressed or implied... Use at your own risk... blah blah... etc. etc.
As far as I know (could be wrong) you are the first one to make something like this for Jbeam rotation, cool
Thank you. It wasn't the easiest code I've written, so I figured I'd try to help others avoid my pain by passing the code around. I'm sure I'm not the only person to face the rotation problem and not quite knowing what to do.
