Need a new or enhanced Loader
« on: July 11, 2006, 12:47:03 pm »
Hi,

first I must say "thank you" for this great library. We think about using it in a commercial system. Would it be possible to see the source? I think about writing a additional loader for other formats or for retrieving more information (like texture and animation) from the files.

Best Regards,

Sebastian

No, it's free but not open source. But it doesn't have to be for you to write your own loader. You can write your own loader by creating Object3Ds from your files' contents and add the mesh data using Object3D.addTriangle(...); That's what the Loader-class does too. There's no hidden magic in it.

Ok, I believe that would be possible. But if you could show by example the code of the M2 - Loader, it would be much easyer :-)

Ok, so here is a basic MD2-Loader. It's not exactly the one that's used in Loader, but behaves bascially the same. The one in Loader isn't helpful because it uses some shortcuts into Object3D that are not public. Anyway, here you go:

Code: [Select]
package naroth.util.tools;

import java.io.*;
import com.threed.jpct.*;

/**
 * An alternative MD2Loader for demonstration purpose only.
 */
public class MD2Loader {

   public static Object3D loadMD2(InputStream is, float newScale) throws Exception {

      do {
         cnt=is.read(buf);
         if (cnt!=-1) {
            bos.write(buf, 0, cnt);
         }
      } while (cnt!=-1);

      buf=bos.toByteArray();

      int magicNum=getInt(buf, 0);
      if (magicNum!=844121161) {
         Logger.log("Not a valid MD2-file!", Logger.ERROR);
      }

      int version=getInt(buf, 4);

Hee hee... Admittingly, I wanted to make a new Loader but was too afraid to ask~
