Awesome Fred! Thanks!

[RedHawke]

Very sweet Fred!

[Darkkender]

Hey Fred was there a fix for the bug that I reported to you in this update?

Beyond that great work.

Refresh my aging memory...

The glitch with custom modules gff files not loading and causing a crash. Would you like me to resend the PM with the download link of the problem?

[ChAiNz.2da]

Nice changes Fred!

I'm especially keen to the .2da re-numbering feature.. working on something that may need that soon

Oh, that! I'm still working on it

I feel bad that I didn't "get" what the problem was until just recently.

Verry good tool. Thanks
Any chance to extract mdl-ascii, mdl, mdx and aferent textures in one single step?

It does that already.

From the readme file (it's called readme for a reason, you see, heh heh):

To extract a .mdl (Model) file, double click on it; the model will be extracted and converted, along with any required TGA-format textures.

You double-click, check the extraction options you want, and poof! you get an ascii model and all of the relevant textures in one shot.

unless there is a setting I've missed Fred anytime I double click a mdl file it only extracts the tga, txi and a ascii-mdl. however it doesn't automatically extract the mdl & mdx for me. I have to extract those seperately.

[General Kenobi]

Latest version looks kewl Fred! Lookin' forward to playin' with it!

The double-click feature is for folks who want to work with the model in a 3DS Max environment. It does extract the mdl and mdx files, but they are deleted after the conversion process. If you need the non-converted files, you indeed have to extract them individually.

I guess I slightly misunderstood what you were saying in the original reply to oldflash.

[oldflash]

I have dl a new ver. of kotor tool and installed in different location than previous.
I start new one, and extract some mdl-ascii+textures on mdl doubleclick.
After that I start the old KT and do the same with same mdl and it was extract binary mdl and mdx files. So, for how long will be like this I'm happy.
Now it take me less than 1 min to extract 10 consecutives models to complete editing form. *.mdl-ascii, *.tga and binary *.mdl and *.mdx
Again, great tools.
Thanks

I'm curious what you're using the binary mdl and mdx files for?

Also, the current version can still just extract the files, without conversion; just select the file to extract and click the "Extract File" button.

I use binary files to recompile modifyed ascii files with mdlops.

But,like I say, 1 KT for extracting in one step ascii models and textures and 1 KT for extracting in one step of binary mdl and mdx.
Nice

Sounds like I need a "don't clean up after conversion" checkbox on the extraction dialog box.

Yes, that will be great.
I can't belive how simple you say-it. (not like me: running aroud my tail)

[Darth InSidious]

BTW, FT, do you know that the secondary tab for editing doors and triggers in the module editor won't save changes?

Just thought I'd better tell you

What "secondary tab" are you referring to? A screenshot, perhaps?

[Fred Tetra]

Here's a quick look at the upcoming Module Properties editor:

[Darth333]

That looks very nice and very user friendly!

[tk102]

That's sweet Fred!

[ChAiNz.2da]

Wow Fred!

An interface like that is tempting even me to try out some moduling editing... Kudos!

[General Kenobi]

I agree with Darth333 & ChAiNz.2da both

Very user friendly from what I see and I'm beginning to ponder a module myself.

Fantastic to see Ktool moving forward like this


General Kenobi

[RedHawke]

Looks really, really sweet Fred!

[Darkkender]

Fred those screenie make feel like singing. Heck with it. "I'm So Excited, and I Just can't Hide it."

[Fred Tetra]

You can now download a test module created using the new Module Properties editor.

http://kotortool.home.comcast.net/204.mod

Place the 204.mod file in your KotOR II Modules folder, load a saved game, then enter "warp 204" in the console.

Read and follow the signs

[SpaceAlex]

Looks like you've been busy. You always find something new to add to your already excellent app, don't you?

Great job as always.

[Jeff]

Great job Fred! I'll have to try this out and see all the new stuff you've put in the module

[Darth InSidious]

Uh..by "Secondary tab" I meant the linked-to properties of the door - they don't save. I will get you a screen ASAP

[shamelessposer]

Every time I try to save a dialog file, KOTOR tool crashes and I get this message.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

<Fred Tetra>You only need to post a stack trace; the loaded assemblies are useless. Trimmed.

<-snip->

This happens EVERY time. Any thoughts?

[Fred Tetra]

You aren't trying to edit a KotOR II dialog, are you?

[shamelessposer]

No, a plain ol' KOTOR1 dialog. The Janice Nall one under tar_m02ab, if it makes any difference. I've run into similar problems with some .2da editing, usually when overwriting an existing file.

[Fred Tetra]

I've been working on the camera editing functions of the module editor; thought you folks might like to see some of the results you can achieve...



Having finally gotten my Euler angles to Quaternion function working, I can now produce various camera shots, some that are pretty strange.

[TheOssusKeeper]

hehe, it looks like she's walking up the side of a wall...
