~~#C00:Project state: outdated (lastest update in ~2007)~~ Maybe it's still usable?


xgEditor is a DCC tool/editor for use with the OGRE engine. xgEditor provide some basic feature currently.
the file format that the xgEditor use is a custom xml based file, the xgEditor have provide a example to load and display the xgEditor's .scene filehttp://downloads.sourceforge.net/xgeditor/xgSceneViewer_src_2007_8_12.rar?modtime=1187703352&big_mirror=0.

you must edit xgEditorConfig.xml after your download.

xgEditorConfig.xml

the editor use xgEditorConfig.xml plugins.cfg ogre.cfg as the config file,the editor don't use resources.cfg.

the xgSceneViewer.exe use resources.cfg plugins.cfg ogre.cfg as the config file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="GB2312" standalone="yes" ?>

<xgEditorConfig>

<--if you want reconfig the render api(dx or gl) or the editor start failed,set runSuccess to

0,when editor start failed or crashed,editor will set this value to 0 so that you can reselect the

render, because some error maybe caused by render config error,so when start failed, maybe it will

start success next time-->

<runSuccess>1</runSuccess>

<-- record the window frame layout,generate by editor ,don't modify it manually -->

<--internal use for record directory visit history -->

<resInsertToolDirInitDir>U:\setup\data\mesh\laser\laser.mesh</resInsertToolDirInitDir>

<--editor will load all xml file that defined game entity in entityXmlRootDir,you can study

data\entity\entity.xml for it's format -->

<--the game entity is some tag that you can put into editor's scene and scene file, the game

entity always representation by some mesh in editor ->

<entityXmlRootDir>U:\xg\bin\data\config\entity</entityXmlRootDir>

<--resRootPath must use this format as c:\mesh\ not c:\mesh -->

<--editor will save all resourceLoaction which under resRootPath to scene file's

resourceLocations element use related path,other's use absolute path-->

<resRootPath>U:\setup\</resRootPath>

<--the path must in this fomat data\mesh\ not data\mesh -->

<--editor will load all the path list in resPathList to ogre's resourceLocation-->

<--after load this path,the editor will refresh the editor's particle list,so if you want some

particle list in editor's particle list, you'd better put particle's dir in this list. there is another two

way to add particle to particle list also,one way,when you click some .mesh file in editor's resource

explorer , editor will check that mesh's path in the path list that ogre have loaded, if it is not

exist,editor will let ogre load the path of the selected .mesh file, after ogre load this path,the ogre

will add all the particle's define template in this path,and also materail and other things that ogre'

load method can do,after ogre load this path,editor will refresh the particle list.way two,you can

drug one or more .mesh file from windows explorer direct to editor's view window,editor will

check and load the .mesh file's path at first,then load those mesh in droped, in the same time,

editor will refresh particle list also, because when ogre load some new path, it will load particle

defined file,materail etc.-->

<resPathList>

<path>data\mesh\editor\</path>

<path>data\particle\</path>

<path>data\materials\programs\</path>

<path>data\materials\scripts\</path>

<path>data\materials\textures\</path>

</resPathList>

<--editor will load all the directory of entityMeshRootDir and its subdir to ogre's

resourceLocation, not use ogre's recusive method but insert it and it's subdir muanul one by

one.-->

<--why we need this path,it's mainly used for editor's entity window's entity list,there is only

some mesh name in the entity config always, so if we don't load those path that those mesh file in,

the editor won't find those location,so we need entityMeshRootDir to be define, let editor load

those path and it's sub path.-->

<entityMeshRootDir>U:\setup\xgEditorSetup\data\mesh\</entityMeshRootDir>

</xgEditorConfig>

tool usage

-->prs

first select the opration method

use mouse select the object with left mouse down and don't let it up,move mouse,the object

will move.

when mouse move,try use with Ctrl Alt for other function


-->resource exporer


-->mesh

first select a mesh file

when you click some point of view window,it will drop the mesh at that position


-->particle

editor will list all the particle that ogre has loaded current,you can add particle path

to resPathList in xgEditorConfig.xml so that editor will load it when starting.

-->entity

editor will load all game entity file define in xml file,those xml file must put in

<entityXmlRootDir></entityXmlRootDir> directory,you can study data\entity\entity.xml for it's

format.



-->sector and ai navi tool

this is use for my project, you can use it if you need


2007-8-12 21:22

when error occured,editor will out the error message to the console window with the xgEditor

2007-8-12 21:40

the editor's .scene.xml file

the editor will save all filesystem path to scene file,when xgEditor.exe or xgSceneViewer.exe load

scene file,all of the resourceLocations will load into resource find path.

2007-8-12 21:44

the xgSceneViewer can load that .scene.xml that generated by xgEditor.

the src of xgSceneViewer.exe is more useful for those who want know how to load the editor's

scene.xml file.

2007-8-12 22:44

compile

the xgEditor's src denpend on follow wonderful library when it's deving.

ogre-win32-v1-4-3 in dll mode

wxWidgets-2.8.0 in dll mode

wxpropgrid-1.2.5 in dll mod
