Someone interested in the GED source?

From our plan to release tool sources, the next candidate would be GED. Some users asked about it in the past. Although the GED source is unfortunately in worse shape than the PhysX source and thus of limited use, it shows the patient user a way to make a level and terrain editor.

However we'll only release it if there's real interest in it. So, are there users who are interested in the GED source?

Yes I am; I am considering writing an editor for making PhysX-shapes, so, the GED source come in handy for getting some snippets for setting up a tool environment.

Hi,
I'm also interested too.

I'm interested, too. Tips on generating levels are always welcome.

i'm interested too

Ditto ... ASSUMING it is lite-c code...

lol, love it!

OT: I, too; analog to ++:

WED FBX Importer as open source would be great also, eg. regarding of this problem from here.

We can't be so lucky...
Anyway, i have a level editor too, so i am really interested to see other's code.

Ok, we'll release the GED source in the next time, after the 8.30 final release.

Thanks, but what about FBX?

Is this still planned? Any news?

Yes, it's still planned and we'll release the code soon.

Thanks, can't wait

Is it a good idea ?
I used it , and had lot of crashes doing standard or simple things.People using the source, will perhaps make something that will inherit these problems ?

But for learning, indeed it can be good !

Or people will try to fix those bugs

Hi Jcl. i'm interested too. When will you release it exactly?

Yes, for learning purposes it would be great, I would take a look into it too.
There are a couple of users making own editors mainly for own purposes (including me), and it would be probably an easier access to some engine features, than making it alone, or asking stupid questions from the developer(s). So this way in my opinion 3DGS could finally profit from it, not only by correcting GED's errors.

would seriously love to get my hands on this

Okay i think that silence is mean "still the soon". And "soon" is mean 3 month's or something like that.

I think within the next weeks.

Cool. Thanks.

The GED source is now available here:

http://server.conitec.net/down/ged_source.zip

Please be aware that this is not a normal, stable VC++ project. If you want to compile it, please note:

- The source is more or less unchanged and provided without any warranty.
- It only compiles with VC++ 2008; other VC++ versions would require various fixes.
- It is unstructured, i.e. the source compiles as a single bunch of code. For the same reason, VC++ Intellisense won't work with this project.
- It uses lots of external libraries and includes.
- It does not compile with the standard acknex headers, and thus has modified headers based on an old version. It however still works with the newest A8 version due to the upwards compatibility.

great, thanks!

Thanks for the efforts.

I'll have a look too! (Might be that I'm quite alone with my oppinion that the GED was a great tool!)

as I see the source, it's not an easy reading for the hot summer days...

Thanks
