Snickers Pilot	posted 04-18- 01:20 PM Cool... Are you going to provide the ability to animate DOFs while in the program? Also, what about a ruler for measuring length and something to measure angles.... Snick IP: Logged
ArgonV Pilot	posted 04-18- 02:21 PM Ok, how exactly is this all going to work? Will this be like an OPS type of program but more advanced? Can you do mesh editing AND model property editing in the same program? Enlighten me here. IP: Logged
Elric Pilot	posted 04-18- 04:15 PM Snickers, what you see is the bare bones for an opensource project. Visual DOF editing may be a desired feature. I initially want to concentrate on the stuff that OPS and OL tools don't do. Or whatever any developers want to play with... Oh yeah, rulers and such, what like this? ArgonV, Again see my reply to Snickers. Meshing editing is nice but everyone has AC3D and 3D Studio max for that. It may come in time tho. See OpToolKit project goals for info about what the short/long term goals are. Elric IP: Logged

Snickers Pilot	posted 04-18- 05:44 PM Still looking for a way to measure angles... PBY angle of incidence is 6 degrees, engines are 3 degrees less. It would be nice to measure.. IP: Logged

Raider Pilot	posted 04-19- 01:32 AM This is exciting news Good Luck, I look forward trying this. IP: Logged
wakeup tailgunner JAG	posted 04-19- 09:15 AM oh boy! I hope I can run this under NT4! OPS is a great tool, but there are things it doesn't do...like run on my PC at work!!!! IP: Logged

Yeowch!!! (Dub, with his on good eye, surveys pieces and observes outloud) "So, it's true... I am full of s***..." ------------------ Fly Well, Dub Visit the Wing Walkers IP: Logged
Elric Pilot	posted 04-19- 11:32 AM wtg, OPS doesn't run on NT4 because OPS used Direct3DRM version 7+?? and NT4 only supports DirectX V3 although I have heard of a hack that can patch NT4 to use DirectX7 you could try looking round the net for that ( If you are feeling lucky (punk) and are at home with installing / troubleshooting nt4 ) I think optoolkit should be OK on NT4 as it uses openGL not D3D.

wakeup tailgunner JAG	posted 04-19- 03:19 PM That is good to hear! I am reluctant to hack the work PC just in case the Tech support guys come sniffing! I don't like implementing stuff unless I know I can 'sanitise' it afterwards! I got a hacked system admin password so I can install stuff, but Dx7 is a bit hard to explain.....unless it makes Access run faster... IP: Logged
Snickers Pilot	posted 04-19- 07:15 PM Hehehe.... Is there any need for you to "stress test" the system? Games that are graphically intesive are often the best diagnostic out there, at least to prove that something works. Heck when I was doing Tech Support, a customer had an issue they though might be realted to network traffic. The director of tech support came down and wanted to know if there was anyway to simulate this... As a result, we had an 8 player game of Descent II for 3 hours on company time!!! IP: Logged
Tailslide Pilot	posted 04-21- 12:46 AM Yes, Rulers ! Worth the download right there for verifying the wing areas on the planes, thanks Elric ! TS IP: Logged
Tailslide Pilot	posted 04-21- 12:47 AM Can't find the link to download ? IP: Logged
Nat JAG	posted 04-21- 01:40 AM there isn't one Tail, it's just a thread to remind us it's still being worked on and to give us the website for updates on progress IP: Logged
