Importing OPTs

[ual002]

Not sure if I saw you mention this at some point in the XWAup forums, but I do think getting the editor to pull OPT files for display in the editor instead of icons, or even hard coded wireframes like in ALLiED would drastically increase this editor's value and usability.

I did intend to import the OPTs directly at some point, especially since then it would pull custom ships, be it from XWAUP or another source, but I never got around to creating an OPT processor. My true vision for the map editor was not just a 2D interface, but rather a 3D rotatable space like a CAD program so you could see exactly how the ships would appear next to each other. That would be the best way to place ships near bases such as Platforms or Shipyards. This would certainly be a longer-term item to work on, although with the renewed interest and traffic on git I may look into working on this again.

I'm working on an OPT reader. My current code only supports Tie and is pretty nasty (I'm not a professional c# developer), but if it'll be more useful than a spec to you, you're welcome to it.

Yea, I have no skill in this regard, but the 3D space editor would be amazing. But definitely an opt reader to start. Most of the custom DSUCP craft have no models in Troy's editors and make for a lot of guess work in placing crafts.

[MikeG621]

Yeah, that's why I had hoped to use an opt reader instead of fixed wireframes, to take into account custom models. That's also part of the reason why the map images were left as separate files instead of embedded, so they could be customized. For the most part at least the new models tend to be replacing similar models, so the sizes should be close. I'm keeping an eye on an opt reader project, so if that continues at a good clip that'll help the possibility of this approaching reality.

Hello,
Have you considered using https://github.com/JeremyAnsel/JeremyAnsel.Xwa.Opt ?

[MikeG621]

No, I haven't looked at yours, Jeremy. TBH I should've thought to look to see what you were using since I know about your OPT editor. Yours is primarily for XWA though, correct? Jason said his was TIE and I haven't messed with the OPT format enough to know if there's meaningful differences between the engines or if it could be easily managed with a single reader.

Mine can read OPT files from all games of the series.
