OHM Spacecraft3 to DLL&C++ converter 141006

[DaveS]

Could particle streams be implemented? Right now it discards any particle streams defined in the INI files making former SC3 vessels that use them lose them in the converted DLL form.

 

[diogom]

Unless I'm missing something, payloads aren't implemented. Could they be?

Thanks

Child animation not working

I have already searched this thread about this issue and found nothing. This is the only animation defined in the SC3 configuration file.

A child animation will work just fine in SC3 (the lock door wheel spins before the lock door opens). But when the *.ini file is converted, only the lock door opens leaving behind the groups associated with the lock wheel without rotating the wheel first.

Below a snippet of code from the *.ini file:

[ANIM_SEQ_0]
; Lock Door and wheel animation key
KEY=5
DURATION=10

[ANIM_COMP_0]
; Lock Door animation definition
SEQ=0
GROUPS=4,5,21,26,27
RANGE=(0.5,1.0)
ROT_PNT=(-1.327,0.072,1.889)
ROT_AXIS=(0,1,0)
ANGLE=-135

[ANIM_COMP_1]
; Lock wheel animation definition
SEQ=1
GROUPS=6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,24,25
RANGE=(0.0,0.5)
ROT_PNT=(-2.001,0.900,1.751)
ROT_AXIS=(0,0,1)
ANGLE=315
PARENT=0

Never mind everyone. I found the problem within 10 minutes after posting this. I changed the SEQ=1 to SEQ=0 in the [ANIM_COMP_1] section and converted again. It now works.

Artlav,

Can you add the payload ability to this ? It makes a great way to have things jettison.

Anyone manage to make air brake work and brake?

Aaaaa...

Hope Artlav make it work...

Anyone else noticed that the string of the source code

 SetVisibilityLimit(0,0.002);

causes converted vessels' markers in planetarium mode to be visible from any part of the Galaxy when these vessels are landed? Bypassing this string though produce no negative effects and eliminate the problem.

My SC3 converter seems to be stuck, only able to find and convert one file name. Anyone else see this ?

hey guys i am completely confused about how to use this tool. i have opened it, converted a ini file and it says that the file is converted and a dll has been created but i cant find the dll anywhere!!! where does the program export it to??? please help i am new to orbiter and i dont really know anything...:lol:

 

[Evil_Onyx]

It converts it, then packs it in to a .zip in the same folder as the converter.

 

[Mr Martian]

ok well i have put the converter into the orbiter root directory and when i convert a ini file i cant find any zip files or any new files at all??? please help

ok well i have the converter in the orbiter root directory and when i convert it with the sc3gui tool, it says that it has successfully made the .dll file but i cant find any zip file or any new files at all anywhere in the orbiter folder... please help me...:lol:

 

[gattispilot]

look in sources folder. There should be a folder in there of the converter files

 

[Mr Martian]

ok well that is strange cos i have got no folder called "source" or "sources" maybe u guys are using a different version of orbiter or something, im using orbiter 2010. ill try and create a "sources" folder or something. thanks

What was you doing, step by step?

You should launch sc3gui, select the ini you want to convert and press the button:

After that, it should say conversion is done, and a zip file with the same name should appear.

What happens in your case?
What Windows version do you use?
What folder is Orbiter installed to?

 

[Mr Martian]

thanks for responding, i do the exact same steps that u show here, and it says that the conversion is done but no zip file appears... i use windows 7 and i have orbiter installed in microsoft games...

oh hang on i just moved orbiter to my docs and it worked!!!! must be something to do with admin permissions or something... thanks for your help anyway and this amazing tool!!!! it is so good (especially as i suck at coding and im actually pretty new to computers as well) thanks again.

um, ok now that i got that working, when i open the c++ code to try and edit it, i cant compile it cos it says it cant locate orbiter.lib and there are a few other problems too, is this normal, or should it compile perfectly???

---------- Post added 08-29-12 at 03:48 AM ---------- Previous post was 08-28-12 at 07:10 AM ----------

never mind i got it working! but one last thing: when i edit the c++ project and try to compile it as a .dll, it says that it worked with no errors and that it compiled to the named directory, but when i try to locate the .dll file in that directory, there is nothing there... :idk: does anyone else know how or where to find it????? i would really appreciate a bit of help...

wait nevermind i figured that out too :lol: ok im good now, soz if i was being a pain in the ass :blush:

i also downloaded this dll converter, but not sure how to use it, it does work, i can see that from the armdock example, so i guess i have to place files from the thing im trying to covert in the sources folder, but witch files exactly? the armdock example has cpp-files, h-files, sln-files, and vcproj-files in the sources folder, but i cant find any of those types of files on my object, and it is from the spacecraft3-family (the NERVA2)......any of u guys know?

 

[PeterRoss]

You don't need to place anything into source, it's place where the converter place precompiled .dlls. You just have to select any sc3 vessel which is already installed.

 

[spacemonkey81]

oke....so how do i select it?? :huh:

if i type :config\spacecraft\NERVA2.ini where it says vessel it tells me file not found

 

[PeterRoss]

Uh... Are you sure you're doing everything according to this post: http://orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=379654&postcount=175

Because you don't have to 'type' anything, you just select installed vessel from the list. If it's not there then it's not installed, that's it.
