Brawlbox Resources & History

[DSX8]

Well fixing the normals of model imports isn't as easy as I thought it would be. While I only have to multiply the normals by the vertex's influence's rotation matrix to fix models for viewing in Brawlbox, it's not exactly the opposite for actually getting the raw normals. I have to multiply it by the skin rotation matrix and then by the bone inverse bind rotation matrix, which is stored in a different location than where the normals are written...

I'll have to overhaul the primitive manager again, but I knew I'd have to do it sometime anyway. It's kinda sloppy right now. :X

so does that mean that if u fix it up, it'll be more organized? O.o

Yeah and probably run faster too.

hmm not bad then ill say.... do what u can do :P

[Naruto200Man]

Yeah and probably run faster too.

^This is always a good improvement! ALWAYS :D

Also, whenever I rotate a bone, even in max, the model like, stretches really weird :/
For instance I rotate the arm bone forward, the whole side of the arm and hand stretches forward as you rotate it. I don't know if it's how I have it rigged or what.

its mostly how u have ur rig set up lol

heh...
now try doing it w/o typing it
and support every possible error

reason I'm not typing anything yet is because I end up deleting it...
so I'm trying to make sure every process will work before typing anything.

ntm my program will NEVER crash
(supporting every possible error)

there's QUITE alot I got planned for it >_>

Already am.

[DarkPikachu]

Already am.

how many exceptions you got covered per function??
I've got (at most) 8

srsly...
if programming it ain't the hardest part,
it's covering the errors

I've even got infinite loop detection ;D

actually...
the hardest part in my area is defining functions for 'you' to use

eg:

StructArr(List,count):
#returns an array of structures for the specified count
#if count is 0, continue reading until a structure of 0's is reached.

but that's not all...
that's only if your file is in read binary mode.
if it's in write binary mode:
(since the function doesn't work with ASCII)

StructArr(List,Template,ZeroStruct):
#supply a list of numbers
#the template sets the hex types
#ZeroStruct (bool) adds a structure of 0's to the end

I'll have more in the documentation

sry if I sound a little agitated,
and with everything being so abrupt...

it's just life hitting me hard X(

After fixing up the primitive manager, fixing model import normals and doing a few other bugfixes from the beta, I'll see if I can release the stable v0.65b. I'll save complete SRT0 editing for the next release.

aww me wanted SRT0 editing.... but will this be able to fix my other models? o.o

ok cool

Yo black Jax.  when u say "primitive manager", do you mean the check in stuff you get when you try to import a dae into a mdlo?(re-map, color nodes, etc,)

No, there's a class that contains/manages all the asset buffers, vertices, primitive indices, etc for each object node.

oh Ok.
