This adds just enough plumbing to be able to export GUI popup notes
using the standard xDialogToggle.py. There are still a number of TODOs
and FIXMEs in the basic stuff, but the design is mostly solid. The idea
is that you'll create a GUI page for any objects that need to appear in
a GUI. The GUI does not require an explicit GUI camera, however. For
now, an automatic GUI camera will be made facing the largest object's -Z
axis.
This adds a page type distinction. It will primarily be geared toward
things like GUIs and avatar animations. However, for now, we can abuse
it to allow externally created pages, such as those created by PRPShop
hacking (for particles) or from 3dsMax (avatar animations, GUIs, etc.)
to coexist more easily with our Korman-generated .age files.
- The object the modifier is on is now the clickable (matches the
behavior of journals).
- Improved object selector icons.
- Automatically generate a clickable region.
- Alert if no camera is set.
Adds the "Local Only/kIsLocalOnly" property to sound emitters. Dependent on the kPropIsLocalOnly attribute, which still needs to be added to libHSPlasma.
Exports a collider that should hopefully block only dynamic objects (kickables). Also, some formatting adjustments to the properties script to match others (this can be undone if wanted)
I don't really want to talk about it. *Gulp*. Anyway, you define
multiple animations on either the animation modifier or the textures
panel. The UIs have all been unified. By default, you have an "(Entire
Animation)" that represents the old single animation. You may create
additional sub-animations over an arbitrary range of keyframes. Once
other animations are defined, the "(Entire Animation)" may be deleted.
However, if all subanimations are deleted, the "(Entire Animation)" will
resurect itself with its last known settings.
Behavior change: object animations (except for fixed cameras) now
REQUIRE an animation modifier be attached to export. It is now an error
to attach an animation modifier to any camera except for a fixed camera.
If we've unleashed Satan on a material, he will perform his dark magick
on the material colors. Therefore, we need to prefix the satanic
materials with something other than "RTLit_" lest the plain old runtime
lit materials be infected by the prince of darkness.
The dumb string lookup probably worked most of the time, but with recent
changes that can cause layers and materials to be renamed to things not
matching the pattern exactly, it's better to explicitly lookup the keys.
This will prevent Dynamic Text Maps from seemingly "breaking" for no
reason just because the lighting strategy changes.
In user testing, the "Bake All" operator overwriting the "Col" layer was
blowing away too much manual shading, reducing the usefulness of the
feature severely. This changes us to using the "autocolor" layer and
making it a somewhat ephemeral coloring layer. Any "autocolor" layer
generated by the exporter should be removed when the export finishes.
Otherwise, it should persist.
You can now bake "finalized" lighting to either vertex colors or a
lightmap image. This can be done either from the toolbox or from the
individual lightmap modifier. The purpose of doing this is to allow the
artist to opt-into a workflow where they can chose when to incur the
performance penalty, instead of on export. The downside is that the
artist now has to manually click a bake button. But, for some Ages,
especially "finished" ones receiving small updates, there is no need to
rebake the lighting each export.
This is the beginning of a workflow loop to (hopefully) improve the
performance of exporting Ages with expensive lighting. This commit
allows you to generate the autocolor layer in the Korman UI and rename
it to `col` to prevent needless re-baking.
This matches us up more closely with what PlasmaMAX does and allows us
to really fix x-raying effects by properly forcing objects into the
correct render pass.
