+------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Info +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¤ MdxLib v1.04 Created by Magnus Ostberg (aka Magos) http://www.magosx.com +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | What is this? +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¤ MdxLib is a .NET 3.5 Class Library to handle WarCraft 3 models. It's mainly aimed for programmers to be used in tools and similar. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Features +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¤ An object oriented approach to handling and editing WarCraft 3 models. You handle objects and references, not raw data and ID's. ¤ Automation - if a component is removed from a model, all references to it are nullified instead of being invalid. ¤ Lazy initialization - some parts of the model are only created if neccessary. ¤ Buildt-in support for MDL, MDX and XML model formats. ¤ Buildt-in undo/redo system. ¤ Metadata - store your own custom data in the models (and still have them work properly in WarCraft 3). +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Notes +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¤ When loading a model format always use a newly created CModel. Don't reuse a model that has been cleared, certain sideeffects may occur. ¤ Make sure when attaching vertices on a face and groups on a vertex that what you attach lies in the same geoset. ¤ Each geoset should have an amount of CGeosetExtent's equal to the number of sequences in the model. ¤ Use "Model.HasGeosets" rather than "Model.Geosets.Count > 0" since it retains laziness among the lazy initialization. ¤ When adding metadata do not use multibyte characters. These may corrupt the model if saved to MDX format. Stick to plain old ASCII. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | FAQ +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¤ Q: There is no exe, how do I run it!?!? A: It's not an executable program, it's a .NET 3.5 Class Library. Unless you're a programmer you won't find this useful. ¤ Q: How do I use this library? A: Preferably you use Visual Studio with the 3.5 framework. Other environments *may* also be able to use it, but that's beyond my current knowledge. Just add a reference to the DLL and you can use the included classes. ¤ Q: I still don't know how to use it! A: There are some samples (example code) and there's a reference for use with intellisense (an external xml-file, just make sure it's in the same folder as the dll). Apart from this it's up to you. Writing a complete reference describing every aspect of mdx is way too much work. Sorry! ¤ Q: Can I have the source code for the dll? A: At the moment - no. I'm planning on releasing it as open source later, but I wan't it to be more complete and bugfree first. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Version history +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¤ 1.00 (2008-08-02) First version released. Everything is implemented as far as I know, however it requires lots of testing. ¤ 1.01 (2008-08-04) Added support for storing metadata in models. This way you can store whatever extra data you like without corrupting the model (some 3rd party tools may not work properly though). If you have problems opening the models in War3 Model Editor check out http://www.magosx.com for an updated version. ¤ 1.02 (2008-08-15) Various fixes. Made some classes and class constructors private (not accessible) since they should only be used internally anyway. ¤ 1.03 (2008-08-28) Completed the missing MDX animation tags through hex-hacking (no official blizzard models seems to use these) Light: KLAS - Attenuation Start KLAE - Attenuation End Particle emitter: KPEE - Emission Rate KPEG - Gravity KPLN - Longitude KPLT - Latitude KPEL - Life Span KPES - Initial Velocity Particle emitter 2: KP2R - Variation KP2G - Gravity Ribbon Emitter: KRCO - Color KRTX - TextureSlot ¤ 1.04 (2009-02-11) Model components can have tagged data (a Tag attribute) so you can attach custom data to them.
