<p>Agerrius: /* Procedure */</p> <hr /> <div>{{Infobox-Applicable-FSVersion<br /> | FSXI = false<br /> | FSXA = true<br /> | FSX = true<br /> | FS2004 = false<br /> | FS2002 = false<br /> | FS2000 = false<br /> | FS98 = false<br /> }}<br /> <br /> This tutorial is realized in order to help designers during the procedure of making a landable platform in FSX.<br /> <br /> We will go through a step by step way of building a landable platform with the help of screenshots. The guidance is gathered from all sorts of topics and sites... together they form the basic for this tutorial. Thanks to those pioniers who found the solution for making a landable platform.<br /> <br /> == Basic steps first... ==<br /> <br /> On demand of some designers here some basic steps:<br /> <br /> A. Beginning with drawing a box starts from a certain point, following the movement with lef mouse button down to the corner (see yellow arrow). Then releash the mouse button and proceed again with the left mouse button down until a certain height is reached.<br /> <br /> B.This box will be modeled now via the Parameters setup where you fill in the wanted values for Lenght, Width and Height.<br /> <br /> C. Is a plane that you will need further in the tutorial.<br /> <br /> [[Image:landable01.jpg]]<br /> <br /> How to center the main object? This is important for an accurate placement in the scenery.<br /> <br /> Click the Select and Move Tool... then set the values for X, Y and Z to zero. The box moves to the centerpount of your display.<br /> <br /> The plane (C) can be moved the same way to match with the box... or you can use the Move Tool directly.<br /> <br /> [[Image:landable02.jpg]]<br /> <br /> == Making the platform ==<br /> <br /> [[Image:landable03.jpg]]<br /> <br /> After making your object In GMAX for FSX, draw a plane with the size of the helipad.<br /> <br /> [[Image:landable04.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Place the plane on top of the object.<br /> <br /> [[Image:landable05.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Set Opacity to 0% (makes it invisible).<br /> <br /> [[Image:landable06.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Run Script - AttachTool - Platform (Surface = Concrete).<br /> <br /> [[Image:landable07.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Clone the object... notice that on this screenie &quot;Clone to Element&quot; is checked... so pay attention: it must be &quot;Clone to Object&quot; ! <br /> <br /> [[Image:landable08.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Run Script - AttachTool - NoCrash... Check the list of elements to be sure you have selected the clone !<br /> <br /> In order to be sure you choose the correct plane, consult the Select Tool.<br /> <br /> [[Image:landable09.jpg]]<br /> <br /> == Export the object to MDL ==<br /> <br /> As you are now halfway the procedure, exporting the object is quiet simple...<br /> <br /> Before exporting the Gmax-file you need a friendly name for your model + GUID for identification of that model.<br /> <br /> Open MAXScript / LODandNameTool.ms<br /> <br /> [[Image:landable10.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Click on Create new GUID for this file. When you saved the GMAX file before, there is already a friendly name... otherwise fill in a name for your object.<br /> <br /> [[Image:landable11.jpg]] <br /> <br /> In Menu... open File / File properties / Custom.<br /> <br /> Click on the value of the Guid (e5b0753f-b...) and the whole Guid will be fill in in the display.<br /> <br /> Copy and paste this Guid and save it in Notepad. You will need this Guid later in the .XML-file.<br /> <br /> [[Image:landable12.jpg]]<br /> <br /> Template .xml file<br /> <br /> Fill in GUID + Friendly Name of your object ( xxx.MDL )<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;&lt;FSData<br /> version=&quot;9.0&quot;<br /> xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'<br /> xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=&quot;bglcomp.xsd&quot; &gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;SceneryObject<br /> lat=&quot;S33 25.07&quot;<br /> lon=&quot;E149 39.16&quot;<br /> alt=&quot;0&quot;<br /> altitudeIsAgl=&quot;TRUE&quot;<br /> pitch=&quot;0&quot;<br /> bank=&quot;0&quot;<br /> heading=&quot;0&quot;<br /> imageComplexity=&quot;NORMAL&quot;&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;LibraryObject <br /> name=&quot;{GUID}&quot;<br /> scale=&quot;1.0&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;/SceneryObject&gt;<br /> &lt;ModelData sourceFile=&quot;Friendly Name .MDL&quot; /&gt;<br /> <br /> &lt;/FSData&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> Then it's just a small matter to place it where you want in your universe...<br /> <br /> - Compile and get a .bgl-file that you directly can put into your scenery map / scenery.<br /> <br /> OR:<br /> <br /> - Use Library Creator XML to create Library object containing your models<br /> - Place harden pad using EZ-Scenery<br /> <br /> == Compile and get a BGL file ==<br /> <br /> The compiler for FSX is/must be located in C:\CompilerFSX.<br /> <br /> Your MDL-file and the .XML-file are put together in this map.<br /> <br /> Drop the .XML-file onto BglComp and a .bgl-file will be made (unless there are faults in your .xml-file of course). See Readme MDL to BGL via XML in FSX.<br /> <br /> [[Image:landable13.jpg]]<br /> <br /> == Library Creator XML ==<br /> <br /> For your object library part you should take the MDL from GMax and put it into the library BGL as you described (Library Creator XML will make the XML and BGL file for you). For a complete information about the Library Creator XML go to www.fsdeveloper.com and find in the WIKI a complete explanation.<br /> <br /> == Procedure ==<br /> <br /> Basically the method to create a harden pad (in Gmax) is:<br /> <br /> * Create a 'Plane' in Gmax with the dimensions you require<br /> * Set Opacity to 0% (makes it invisible)<br /> * Run Script - AttachTool - Platform (Surface = Concrete)<br /> * Clone the object<br /> * Select Clone<br /> * Run Script - AttachTool - NoCrash<br /> * Export to MDL<br /> <br /> NOTE: the presence of an exclude file in the scenery will not harm a landable platform.<br /> <br /> NOTE 2: if you don't see any shadow of the heli, adjust (raise) a little bit the location/height of the platform.<br /> <br /> There is the possibility of using a so called &quot;key-file&quot; that contains only the landable platform. Then the only thing you need to do is making your object in GMAX and add this key-file to it. Of course you eventually need to adapt the GMAX-file to the dimensions of the object. Together they will form a completed landable object.<br /> <br /> ----------------------------------------<br /> José Bourgoignie (Ostend, Belgium)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Scenery Design]]<br /> [[Category:Airport Design]]<br /> [[Category:Modeling]]</div>

<p>Agerrius: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Infobox-Applicable-FSVersion<br /> | FSXI = false<br /> | FSXA = true<br /> | FSX = true<br /> | FS2004 = true<br /> | FS2002 = false<br /> | FS2000 = false<br /> | FS98 = false<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Since the introduction of the compressed DXT texture types in Flight Simulator, choosing the right type of compression has often lead to discussion. What are the differences between DXT1 and DXT3 for example? The latter one gives me a bigger filesize, so does that not mean better quality of my texture?<br /> <br /> This article hopes to explain the differences between the different formats, so that you can make a good choice which compression to use. Also will it explain how the compression itself works, so that you understand the influence it has on the quality of your texture.<br /> <br /> == DXT1 ==<br /> <br /> The first compression we will look at is DXT1. This is the most simple compression and also the basis for the other types.<br /> <br /> But let's start with a note about compression itself. You have probably noticed that the DXT compressed textures always have the same size. This is because they have a fixed compression ratio. Because the resulting size is fixed, it also means that the quality loss of the compression depends on the original texture you used.<br /> <br /> When storing the RGBA information of your texture each pixel requires 32 bit to store the information. For DXT compressions the texture is split into segments of 4x4 pixels which are then compressed. These 16 pixels take 512 bits to store without the compression.<br /> <br /> When compressing a 4 colour palette is determined for these 16 pixels. Afterwards each pixel will get an index into this palette, which only requires 2 bit per pixel. For the palette only two colours are stored, the two extremes, and the other two colours are interpolated between these extremes. The colour information is also stored with a compression so that only 16 bits are used per colour. This means that these 16 pixels of the texture only take 64 bits to store (32 for the palette and 32 for the indexing). That is a compression ratio of 1:8.<br /> <br /> But let's take a step back, what does this all mean for the colour information of your original texture? First we will take a look at the palette. It uses 16 bit to store the colours, instead of the normal 8 bit per colour. It uses a 565 compression for this, which means that red and blue are stored with 5 bit and green with 6 bit. This thus means that you can use less colours in your texture and if you are using shades of the same colour that are very similar these will be lost in the compression.<br /> <br /> Besides that the palette only stores two colour, let's call them colour1 and colour2. The other two colours that can be indexed are linearly interpolated. So that means that colour3 is 2/3 of colour1 plus 1/3 of colour2 and for colour4 the reverse is true (1/3 if colour1 plus 2/3 of colour2). This means that if the 4 most common colours used in your 16 pixels are not on a one linear line in the colour space, you will loose some colours.<br /> <br /> Below are some images to clarify what the compression does to the quality of your texture. To make it more clear a region of 4x4 pixels has been blown up to a bigger size in the images.<br /> <br /> {| border=&quot;0&quot; cellpadding=&quot;5&quot; cellspacing=&quot;5&quot;<br /> |-<br /> | This image shows how the compression affects colours. On the left you see 16 shades of red, ranging from pure red to pure black. On the right you see the four resulting colours that the DXT compression choose to represent these 16 pixels.<br /> | [[Image:shades_red.jpg]]<br /> |-<br /> | This image shows what happens when the different colour are not on a linear line in colour space. In this case all extremes (red, green and blue) have been used. It is clear the resulting interpolated colours not match the originals at all. Normally an area of 4x4 pixels would not have so wide variety of colours, but it illustrates that textures with many different colours are affected more.<br /> | [[Image:shades_colour.jpg]]<br /> |}<br /> <br /> == DXT1 with alpha ==<br /> <br /> The above holds when your texture does not have any transparency, if you want to add a 1 bit alpha channel things change slightly. A 1 bit alpha channel means that the transparency is either on or off. To store this one of the colours of the colour palette will get the meaning completely transparent.<br /> <br /> The other three colours are left to store the colour information of your pixels. So for the two colours stored in this case only one has to be interpolated, colour3 is 1/2 colour1 plus 1/2 colour2. This means even less resolution is left for different shades of colours.<br /> <br /> == DXT3 ==<br /> <br /> The colour information in DXT3 is saved similar to the DXT1 format without an alpha channel. So a palette of 4 colours is used to represent 16 pixels of the texture. But the alpha information is stored with 4 bit in the DXT3 format. That means that in total 128 bit are used for the 16 pixels (32 for the palette, 32 for the colour indices and 64 for the alpha information). So this results in a compression ratio of 1:4.<br /> <br /> Because the alpha information is stored in 4 bit, the smallest step in the alpha value that can be stored is 16. This means that very smooth transitions in the alpha channel can not be stored in the DXT3 format.<br /> <br /> == DXT5 ==<br /> <br /> The DXT5 formats differs from the DXT3 format in the way the alpha information is saved. The colour information is stored in the same way.<br /> <br /> For the alpha information it uses a palette, similar to the way the colour information is also stored. This palette contains a minimum and maximum alpha value. Then 6 other alpha values are interpolated between this minimum and maximum. This thus allows more gradual changes of the alpha value.<br /> <br /> A second variant does interpolate only 4 other alpha values between the minimum and maximum, but also adds an alpha value of 0 and 1 (for fully transparent and not transparent). For some textures this might give better results.<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> <br /> [http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb204843(VS.85).aspx MSDN DirectX SDK Compressed Texture Resources]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Texturing]]<br /> [[Category:Scenery_Design]]<br /> [[Category:Aircraft_Design]]</div>

<p>Agerrius: /* Howto */</p> <hr /> <div>{{:Ambox-Content-WIP}} <br /> {{Infobox-Applicable-FSVersion<br /> | FSXI = false<br /> | FSXA = true<br /> | FSX = true<br /> | FS2004 = true<br /> | FS2002 = false<br /> | FS2000 = false<br /> | FS98 = false<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ModelConverterX is a tool which primary function is to convert models, as the name already implies. The tools allows you to import models from different formats and can then export them to other formats again. For example you can import your old SCASM macros and export them in the FSX MDL format. But also exporting to the 3DS or OpenFlight format is possible. <br /> <br /> A second functionality that you can use ModelConverterX for is as a model viewer. After loading the model a 3D preview of it is shown.<br /> <br /> The current version of ModelConverterX is a release candidate. This means that the tool should be stable and functional, but you might still encounter some minor bugs and problems. If you encounter any problems please let me know.<br /> <br /> The rest of this manual will discuss how to install and use ModelConverterX. It also contains a detailed description of the features supported by the readers and writers of the different model format.<br /> <br /> == Installation ==<br /> <br /> You can download the latest release of ModelConverterX from the [http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=87 support forum]. Check out the thread with the latest release.<br /> <br /> Once you have downloaded the ZIP file containing the program, you need to unzip it to a folder of your choice. If you have used a previous version before, you can replace those files with the new version.<br /> <br /> You will also need to have the graphical DLL files by Martin Wright installed. These are used for reading the various texture formats that can be used on your objects. If you don't have these files installed, download them from Martin's [http://www.mnwright.btinternet.co.uk website] and install them first.<br /> <br /> == Howto ==<br /> <br /> Further down in this manual you will find a detailed explanation of the user interface and the features of the different object readers and writers. But in this section some quick howtos will be shown that explain how to perform common tasks. This should be enough to get you going quickly.<br /> <br /> When using ModelConverterX for the first time, make sure that you have set the [[ModelConverterX#Options_tab|options]] correctly. Especially the paths to compilers like XtoMDL or MakeMDL should correspond with the location of those compilers on your machine.<br /> <br /> === Convert a SCASM macro into a FSX MDL object ===<br /> <br /> This howto explains how to convert a SCASM macro object into a FSX MDL object. So to complete this howto you need to have a SCASM macro that you want to convert. Start ModelConverterX and we are ready to go. You can find the images illustrating the steps at the bottom of this section.<br /> <br /> # Import to SCASM macro into ModelConverterX. To do so press the Import button and browse to the file you want to load. After you press the Open button ModelConverterX will start loading the object. Once this is done a preview of the object will appear.<br /> # Check if there were any problems during the import. To do so click on the Event log tab at the bottom of the screen. You should always see some entries in the log, look for events that are of the type Warning or Error to see if there were any serious trouble. It could for example be that there was a not supported command in your SCASM macro.<br /> # Now that your object is loaded and you have verified that there are no big problems with it, it is time to export the object. To do so press the Export button and enter the name and location of the MDL file you want to export. Once you have done that press Save. ModelConverterX will start exporting now.<br /> # Once the export process has finished, check the Event log again, the messages from the exporter will have been added to it. Especially look for the output of XtoMDL as well, while it was compiling your MDL file. But normally there should not be any errors in this process.<br /> <br /> Now you have the MDL file that you can use in your scenery, like you would do with any MDL object. So put it in an library BGL and start placing it with your favourite placement tool.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Image:ModelConverterX_howto_import_API.jpg|Selecting SCASM macro for import<br /> Image:ModelConverterX_howto_preview.jpg|Preview of the imported object<br /> Image:ModelConverterX_howto_log_after_import_API.jpg|Event log after importing<br /> Image:ModelConverterX_howto_export_MDL.jpg|Select MDL file for export<br /> Image:ModelConverterX_howto_log_after_export_MDL.jpg|Event log after exporting<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> === Convert a SCASM macro into a 3DS object and import it into GMax ===<br /> <br /> (this section still has to be written)<br /> <br /> === Batch convert objects ===<br /> <br /> When you want to convert a lot of objects it can take quite some time to import and export them one by one in ModelConverterX. For this kind of situations the batch convert option has been included. It allows you to convert multiple objects at once, with the same settings. Just follow these steps and you should be done in no time. The images to illustrate the steps are at the bottom of this section.<br /> <br /> # Click the Batch convert button to open the batch converter form.<br /> # Select the exporter you want to use and the folder in which you want the converted objects to be placed. Once you have set these two opens press Select objects.<br /> # This will bring up a screen where you can select all the objects you want to convert. You can use the Shift and Control key to select multiple files like normally in Windows. After selecting all files you want to convert press the Open button.<br /> # Now ModelConverterX will start importing and exporting all the objects you selected. You can see the progress in the status bar and the preview will also shortly show the loaded objects.<br /> # Once the conversion is completed, check the event log by clicking on that tab to see if anything went wrong during the conversion.<br /> <br /> That's all, now you will find the objects in the required format in the output folder you selected.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Image:ModelConverterX_howto_batch_folder.jpg|Setting output folder<br /> Image:ModelConverterX_howto_batch_select_files.jpg|Selecting objects<br /> Image:ModelConverterX_howto_batch_event_log.jpg|Event log after conversion<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> == User interface ==<br /> <br /> All your activities in ModelConverterX are done from the main screen. How this screen looks is shown in the image at the right.<br /> <br /> Roughly the form is divided in two areas. The top part where a 3D preview of your model is shown. The bottom part where a log of events is shown, this is the area where you can see warnings and errors from the object readers and writers.<br /> <br /> At the top of the form there is a menu that gives you access to all functions, while at the right there is a toolbar that gives you access to some useful functions as well. All options in the menu and toolbar will be discussed below.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Image:ModelConverterX_howto_preview.jpg|Preview tab<br /> Image:ModelConverterX_howto_log_after_import_API.jpg|Event log tab<br /> Image:ModelConverterX_howto_option_general.jpg|Options tab<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> === Preview tab ===<br /> <br /> === Event log tab ===<br /> <br /> === Options tab ===<br /> <br /> The Options tab gives you access to all the settings of ModelConverterX. With the list at the left side you can select the different categories. Below all options are explained in detail.<br /> <br /> ==== General settings ====<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_howto_option_general.jpg|thumb|General options]]<br /> <br /> The AutoSave section allows you to specify settings regarding automatically saving certain files. It contains the following options:<br /> <br /> ; AutoSaveEventLog : Determines whether the event log is automatically saved to disk as a TXT file when you export an object.<br /> ; AutoSavePreview : Determines whether the preview image is automatically saved to disk as a JPG file when you export an object.<br /> <br /> The Renderer section allows you to specify settings related to the preview renderer. It contains the following options:<br /> <br /> ; AttachPointColor : Sets the color used to draw the square representing attached objects.<br /> ; BackgroundColor : Sets the color used to draw the background of the preview.<br /> ; GridColor : Sets the color used to draw the grid.<br /> ; GridOriginColor : Sets the color used to draw the grid lines that pass through the origin.<br /> ; GridSize : Sets the total size of the grid in meters.<br /> ; GridStep : Sets the distance between two grid lines in meters.<br /> ; NormalColor : Sets the color used to draw the normals.<br /> ; ZoomScale : Scales the zooming of the mouse wheel.

It contains the following options:<br /> <br /> ; lineExtrudeRadius : The radius of the circle that will be used when turning a line into a tube.<br /> ; lineExtrudeVertexCount : The amount of vertices of the circle that will be used when turning a line into a tube. A value of 3 will extra a triangle, 4 a rectangle, etc. Keep this value as low as possible to minimize the polygon count.<br /> <br /> ==== Exporter settings ====<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_howto_option_exporter.jpg|thumb|Exporter options]]<br /> <br /> The FLTWriter section allows you to specify settings specific to the OpenFlight writer. It contains the following options:<br /> <br /> ; LODMultiplier : Sets the multiplier that is used to calculate the LOD distance based on the size of the bounding box.<br /> ; TextureType : Allows you to specify which texture format is used in the OpenFlight file. Supported options are: RGB, DDS or BMP.<br /> ; WriteATTR : Determines whether the ATTR files of the texture are written when the OpenFlight file is saved.<br /> <br /> The MDLWriter section allows you to specify settings specific to the FS2004 and FSX MDL writers. It contains the following options:<br /> <br /> ; KeepASMFile : Determines whether the ASM files are kept after compilation with MakeMDL.<br /> ; KeepXFile : Determines whether the X file is kept after compilation with either MakeMDL or XtoMDL.<br /> ; MakeMDLPath : Location of MakeMDL.exe on your system.<br /> ; XtoMDLPath : Location of XtoMDL.exe on your system.<br /> <br /> ==== TextureLoader settings ====<br /> <br /> The TextureLoader section allows you to specify settings related to the texture loader. It contains the following options: <br /> <br /> ; TextureSearchPath : The search path used when looking for a texture. The texture is first searched in the folder of the object you are reading, after that all folder in the search path will be examined. When you click on the ... button you get the texture search path editor form to help you add or remove folders from the search path. If you double click on a folder in the form you can edit it by typing, that way you can also specify relative folders.<br /> <br /> &lt;gallery&gt;<br /> Image:ModelConverterX_howto_option_texture.jpg|TextureLoader options<br /> Image:ModelConverterX_howto_option_texture_path.jpg|Texture path editor<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> === Menus ===<br /> <br /> This section will discuss all the options that are available from the different menus in ModelConverterX.<br /> <br /> ==== File ====<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_file_menu.jpg|thumb|File menu]]<br /> <br /> '''Import...''' shows you a open file dialog where you can select the model that you want to import.<br /> <br /> '''Export...''' shows you a save file dialog where you can specify to which file the model has to be exported.<br /> <br /> '''Recently used files''' gives you access to the 8 most recently used models, this allows you to reopen them more quickly.<br /> <br /> '''Batch convert...''' opens a new dialog that allows you to convert a set of models between two formats, without having to load them all manually into the tool.<br /> <br /> '''Save message log...''' saves the messages in the event log to a TXT file.<br /> <br /> '''Save preview to image...''' saves the 3D preview to an image file on your disk.

This allows you to convert the placement of the objects as well.<br /> <br /> '''Options''' shows the options for ModelConverterX, where you can specify different settings.<br /> <br /> ==== Help ====<br /> <br /> '''About''' shows the about information for your version of ModelConverterX.<br /> <br /> === Toolbar ===<br /> <br /> The ModelConverterX toolbar gives you access to some functions that are often used when manipulating and working with your object.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_next.jpg]] If multiple objects are loaded, this allows you to go to the next one in the list.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_prev.jpg]] If multiple objects are loaded, this allowd you to go to the previous one in the list.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_objinfo.jpg]] Shows information about the loaded object (currently not implemented).<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_textures.jpg]] Shows the Material Editor form that displays and allows you to edit some material settings of the object.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_move.jpg]] Shows the Move dialog that allows you to move your object (currently not implemented).<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_rotate.jpg]] Shows the Rotate dialog that allows you to rotate your object (currently not implemented).<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_scale.jpg]] Shows the Scale dialog that allows you to scale your object.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_resetview.jpg]] Resets the 3D preview view so that the entire object will fit in the screen again.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_normals.jpg]] Toggles the Display of the normals in the 3D preview.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_normals.jpg]] Toggles the Display of attached points (objects) in the 3D preview.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_normals.jpg]] Don't touch this button, it will break your object (feature not fully implemented yet).<br /> <br /> == Object readers ==<br /> <br /> To be able to read the objects from the different format ModelConverterX makes use of different object readers. This section gives an overview of the available readers and their capabilities/limitations.<br /> <br /> === SCASM reader ===<br /> <br /> The SCASM reader allows you to import objects from [[SCASM]] source files. This could be either [[API]] or [[SCM]] macros or a complete [[SCA]] source file directly. In the current version the following features of the object can be read:<br /> <br /> * Object mesh (vertices, triangles, normals)<br /> * Lines (will be converted to 3D mesh)<br /> * SCASM automatic normal and texture mapping calculations are supported<br /> * Transformations<br /> * Colours<br /> * Textures<br /> * Night textures<br /> * Light points<br /> * Attached effects<br /> * Binary commands (often used in [[FSDS]] macros to maintain backwards compatibility with old SCASM compiler versions)<br /> <br /> === FSX MDL reader ===<br /> <br /> The FSX MDL reader allows you to import objects from the FSX MDL format. In the current version the following features of the object can be read:<br /> <br /> * Object mesh (vertices, triangles, normals)<br /> * Object materials (colours and textures, not all FSX specific options supported yet)<br /> * Friendly name and GUID<br /> <br /> == Object writers ==<br /> <br /> To be able to write the objects to the different format ModelConverterX makes use of different object writers. This section gives an overview of the available writers and their capabilities/limitations.<br /> <br /> === FSX X file writer ===<br /> <br /> The FSX X file writer is able to generate a X file from an object. This X file can then be compiled with the [[XtoMDL]] tool from the SDK to get a MDL object to be used in Flight Simulator.<br /> <br /> The current version of the X file writer is able to export the following functionality:<br /> * Object mesh (vertices, triangles, normals)<br /> * Materials (colours and textures)<br /> * Night textures<br /> * Attachpoints<br /> * GUID and friendly name<br /> <br /> === FSX MDL file writer ===<br /> <br /> The FSX MDL file writer is able to generate a MDL file for FSX directly. It makes use of the FSX X file writer, so please see its limitations as well. So in fact it is a wrapper that calls [[XtoMDL]] for you automatically. To do so you need to make sure you have set the XtoMDL path in the options.<br /> <br /> === FS2004 MDL file writer ===<br /> <br /> The FS2004 MDL file writer is able to generate a MDL file for FS2004 directly. It makes use of the FSX X file writer, so please see its limitations as well. So in fact it is a wrapper that calls [[MakeMDL]] for you automatically. To do so you need to make sure you have set the MakeMDL path in the options.<br /> <br /> Please note this exporter uses the FSX X file for FS2004, this could lead to problems for some features, but in general it works fine.<br /> <br /> === 3DS writer ===<br /> <br /> The 3DS writer is able to generate a 3DS file from an object. 3DS files are quite common and can therefore be imported in many other programs, for example into GMax or 3DS Max. This does allow you to import your old objects and update them for FSX.<br /> <br /> The current version of the 3DS writer is able to export the following functionality:<br /> <br /> * Object mesh (vertices, triangles, but no normals)<br /> * Materials (colours and textures)<br /> <br /> === OpenFlight writer ===<br /> <br /> The OpenFlight writer is able to generate a OpenFlight (FLT) file from an object. OpenFlight files are the de facto standard in professional flight simulators.<br /> <br /> The current version of the OpenFlight writer is able to export the following functionality:<br /> <br /> * Object mesh (vertices, triangles, normals)<br /> * Materials (colours and textures)<br /> <br /> == Background information ==<br /> <br /> This section provides some interesting background information that might be useful to you while using ModelConverterX.<br /> <br /> === Performance ===<br /> <br /> One of the reasons why you might want to convert your objects to the FSX MDL format is to gain more performance. There are several reasons why FSX MDL objects have a better performance than older objects:<br /> <br /> * The scenery engine is most optimized for them and the format itself is optimized in such a way that drawing the objects becomes easy.<br /> * The older objects are not always optimized as much as they could be. When looking at the SCASM code produced by most of the older modelling tools (VOD, EOD, FSDS v1, etc) it has to be concluded that this code can be cleaned up a lot. After doing that the performance of those macros would be better, but when converting them to FSX MDL this is done for you by the tool.<br /> <br /> Another benefit of using ModelConverterX is that it will merge all polygons that use the same material automatically, that why the amount of drawcalls used by your object is optimized for you. That alone is good for the performance already.<br /> <br /> In some tests performed the results were quite surprising. By converting around 30 objects, used in a city, from API to FSX MDL file we were able to gain more than 10 frames. The improvement was bigger than expected. Of course one test is not full proof, but you will probably gain performance.<br /> <br /> == Support ==<br /> <br /> If you have any problems while using the program or if you have suggestions and other feedback to improve the tool, please let me know.

The tools allows you to import models from different formats, for example SCASM macros. After that they can be exported to different formats again, for example FSX MDL objects or the OpenFlight format.<br /> <br /> The rest of this article will explain you how to install and use ModelConverterX. It also contains some practical examples on how to do common tasks.<br /> <br /> == Installation ==<br /> <br /> Currently ModelConverterX is only available as an alpha test version. You are encouraged to try this version already, but please be aware that there will be some bugs and unfinished features left at the moment. To get the latest alpha version go to the [http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=87 support forum] for ModelConverterX, where you will find a thread with the latest release.<br /> <br /> Once you have downloaded the ZIP file containing the program, you need to unzip it to a folder of your choice. If you have used a previous alpha version before, you can replace those files with the new version.<br /> <br /> The first time you install ModelConverterX you need to register one DLL file that is used for handling the textures in the 3D preview. To do this run the register.bat file that is provided in the ZIP file. Failing to do this will result in errors when you load a model.<br /> <br /> If you are using Vista you will have to edit this BAT file and include the complete path to the DLL file. After that you need to run the BAT file with the &quot;Run as administrator&quot; option.<br /> <br /> == Usage ==<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_main.jpg|thumb|ModelConverterX main screen]]<br /> <br /> All your activities in ModelConverterX are done from the main screen. How this screen looks is shown in the image at the right.<br /> <br /> Roughly the form is divided in two areas. The top part where a 3D preview of your model is shown. The bottom part where a log of events is shown, this is the area where you can see warnings and errors from the object readers and writers.<br /> <br /> At the top of the form there is a menu that gives you access to all functions, while at the right there is a toolbar that gives you access to some useful functions as well. All options in the menu and toolbar will be discussed below.<br /> <br /> === Menus ===<br /> <br /> This section will discuss all the options that are available from the different menus in ModelConverterX.<br /> <br /> ==== File ====<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_file_menu.jpg|thumb|File menu]]<br /> <br /> '''Import...''' shows you a open file dialog where you can select the model that you want to import.<br /> <br /> '''Export...''' shows you a save file dialog where you can specify to which file the model has to be exported.<br /> <br /> '''Recently used files''' gives you access to the 8 most recently used models, this allows you to reopen them more quickly.<br /> <br /> '''Batch convert...''' opens a new dialog that allows you to convert a set of models between two formats, without having to load them all manually into the tool.<br /> <br /> '''Save message log...''' saves the messages in the event log to a TXT file.<br /> <br /> '''Save preview to image...''' saves the 3D preview to an image file on your disk. This can be used to create preview images of objects.<br /> <br /> '''Exit''' quits the tool.<br /> <br /> ==== Tools ====<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_tools_menu.jpg|thumb|Tools menu]]<br /> <br /> '''SCASM macro to XML placement converter...''' opens new dialog that converts the Macro commands from a SCASM file into a XML placement file for BGLComp. This allows you to convert the placement of the objects as well.<br /> <br /> '''Options''' shows the options for ModelConverterX, where you can specify different settings.<br /> <br /> ==== Help ====<br /> <br /> '''About''' shows the about information for your version of ModelConverterX.<br /> <br /> === Toolbar ===<br /> <br /> The ModelConverterX toolbar gives you access to some functions that are often used when manipulating and working with your object.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_next.jpg]] If multiple objects are loaded, this allows you to go to the next one in the list.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_prev.jpg]] If multiple objects are loaded, this allowd you to go to the previous one in the list.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_objinfo.jpg]] Shows information about the loaded object (currently not implemented).<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_textures.jpg]] Shows the Material Editor form that displays and allows you to edit some material settings of the object.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_move.jpg]] Shows the Move dialog that allows you to move your object (currently not implemented).<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_rotate.jpg]] Shows the Rotate dialog that allows you to rotate your object (currently not implemented).<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_scale.jpg]] Shows the Scale dialog that allows you to scale your object.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_resetview.jpg]] Resets the 3D preview view so that the entire object will fit in the screen again.<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_toolbar_normals.jpg]] Toggles the Display of the normals in the 3D preview.<br /> <br /> === Object readers ===<br /> <br /> ==== SCASM reader ====<br /> <br /> ==== FSX MDL reader ====<br /> <br /> This reader has not been released yet, but work has been done on creating a reader that can read the MDL files.<br /> <br /> === Object writers ===<br /> <br /> ==== FSX X file writer ====<br /> <br /> ==== FSX MDL file writer ====<br /> <br /> This writer uses the FSX X file writer, so please see its limitations. This writer is a wrapper that calls XtoMDL for you to convert it to a MDL object.<br /> <br /> ==== FS2004 MDL file writer ====<br /> <br /> This writer uses the FSX X file writer, so please see its limitations.

To get the latest alpha version go to the [http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=87 support forum] for ModelConverterX, where you will find a thread with the latest release.<br /> <br /> Once you have downloaded the ZIP file containing the program, you need to unzip it to a folder of your choice. If you have used a previous alpha version before, you can replace those files with the new version.<br /> <br /> The first time you install ModelConverterX you need to register one DLL file that is used for handling the textures in the 3D preview. To do this run the register.bat file that is provided in the ZIP file. Failing to do this will result in errors when you load a model.<br /> <br /> If you are using Vista you will have to edit this BAT file and include the complete path to the DLL file. After that you need to run the BAT file with the &quot;Run as administrator&quot; option.<br /> <br /> == Usage ==<br /> <br /> [[Image:ModelConverterX_main.jpg|thumb|ModelConverterX main screen]]<br /> <br /> All your activities in ModelConverterX are done from the main screen.
