+mue 715 Posted January 27, 2015 Ok, version 0.2 is ready. Whats new? - Lod files can be opened via opening ini files- Needed files (textures, lods) are read from cat files (patch level jul2013). Enable this feature in Extras->Settings. You must also set the SF2 installation directoy path.- 3D coordinates are shown- Display and export of uv maps- Improved texture file lookup- Filename can be passed as commandline argument The update zip file: LODViewerUpdateV0.2.zip Copy the content of this zip file (LODViewer.exe and readme.txt) into the LODViewer directory of the previous version 0.1 (overwrite the two old files). Version 0.1 can be downloaded here: http://combatace.com/topic/85079-lod-viewer/?do=findComment&comment=684342 Have fun! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+mue 715 Posted January 27, 2015 Not sure if I'm the only one, but I'm getting this issue upon opening the file... Probably you downloaded only the update zip file. You still need the version 0.1 zip file. It contains all libraries. Then you copy the content of the update zip file into the LODViewer directory of the version 0.1 zip file. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+RAVEN 414 Posted January 28, 2015 OK I copied in the update, now it only shows a black model, i tried .jpg,.bmp, no .ini / With the .ini. Put texture files in a folder with just the lod. Tried SF2 cats, 2009/ 2013, Still no textures. Left click won't select mesh. Click on Tree then can't deslect. Right click dose nothing.. So what am I missing or doing wrong. Cat pointer won't load .lod from cat file not sure if It can? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cat pointer won't load .lod from cat file not sure if It can? I could reproduce the black texture bug on an ati graphic card. Do you have an ati card? At home I only have nvidia cards, therefore I didn't notice this bug. I will fix it asap. But selection with the mouse should still work. Also right click in the node list window and material list window should work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+RAVEN 414 Posted January 28, 2015 OK. I re-updated and everything works as far as the UV. In fact it even shows stray mapped mesh sections,(First Pic) I see this a lot when mapping using LilthUnwrap. haven't tried with the cat again yet. I'm using Intel® HD Graphics (Core i5) in my Laptop. Model is still black in the viewer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man, my UV mapping skills were terrible when I built that missile. Would anyone like an update to the SA-5 with new UV mapping? That thing...sucks. Of course, someone would have to retexture it...

Happy308 186 Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Hello MUE, I get a appcrash as soon as I select my SF 2 install folder. When I have "use CAT files" checkbox selected (C:\Program Files (x86)\ThirdWire\Strike Fighters) If I deselect "use CAT files" it works but I get the message "Coild not load LOD file" when selecting a stock thirdwire aircraft. I have put "LODViewer.exe" in the anti virus allow list. And tried running it "run as administrator" but no luck. I can only view third party arcraft. Do you have any tips ? Thank you in advance.

What patch level do you run. Which sims (SF2, SF2V, SF2E,..) have you installed? Does it really crash or is the program "hanging"?

+RAVEN 414 Posted January 29, 2015 Just to let you know the V0.1.2 worked fine on my laptop, Textures were nice and clear. My only wish is that your program worked with Win XP, but i just swap stuff via Flash drive, so i can live with it. Keep up the good work and Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you tested the latest version with windows xp? I changed a compiler setting for compiling the exe. Now the programm starts on my windows xp system, but then the graphic card driver crashes. I'm curious, probably it works for you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
