Warzone 2100 Forums

Since I don't have enough knowledge in VB and time(at least 1k+ errors from VB6 to VB .net project conversion) to convert pieslicer to C#/mono successfully, I decided to write a new pie modelling tool from scratch in C++/SDL/opengl/AntTweak

The internal data organization is almost finished,currently I am able to load pie into internal storage/export the internal format into pies properly with modified version of imd.c , imdloader.c from warzone.Some basic controls are already implemented, you can rotate the model using RMB and scale the model using middle button.

Here are some pictures showing pie toaster in action:

green quad = connector red quad = vertice

I plan to add polygon linker and per polygon texture mapper like pie slicer did,also I want to add a per-pie texture mapper,to make mapping textures.

Just let me know if you want other features implemented,then I'll look into the possibilities.

You created PIEslicer?

No PIEslicer was created by stratadrake,this is a rewritten version inspired by pieslicer in more portable language/more portable libraries.

Is it more user-friendly than pie slicer? 

Not yet, I assume. But certainly will be.

Pie Slicer is quite user friendly. It does every thing you can do with pie files in a plain and simple way. It isnt't the fastest way of modelling, but it sure is the easiest.

The third picture link brings up something... unrelated.

Unrelated, but still it looks good.

* I surely wouldn't turn down a slice of that pie, toasted or not.  ::)

.......LMFAO

lol I have no idea why it gives the wrong picture/url...maybe imagevenue's multi-image upload is somewhat buggy,which linked a picture I don't even have on my local disks. 

Update:
*forced texture off with line polygon mode
*given vertice and connector different shapes
*added GUI for each polygon,so you can move each vertice's X,Y,Z of each polygon with the bar 'poly [number]
*added toggle-able colored X,Y,Z Axis display
*added the ability to turning off texture
*added the ability to toggle selected vertice color highlighting.

I assume you're just using plain OpenGL calls to draw the wireframe model (or the textured ones for that matter) ?
[me=Giel]is studying some OpenGL lately, so is interested[/me]

The interface looks reasonably nifty btw. I say reasonably because the "Poly17" window has a lot of repetition without some dividing in subsections.

not sure what you mean 'plain OpenGL calls',I used GL_LINE polygon fill mode in pie toaster to draw the wireframe.

AntTweakBar supports custom type/struct,it has built-in color3f,but I havent added the custom types yet.

You know about glPolygonMode(GL_FRONT_AND_BACK, GL_LINE)? It saves you a second rendering path for wireframe mode.
