============================================================================ - LsD PrEsEnTs - Object-Editor V1.0 - AGA Enhanced & Bugfixed! - ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ============================================================================ Welcome to another kewl release from LSD... Today we bring you a bug fixed and enhanced version of PSI`s Vector-Object Editor v1.0. This release has had some major bugs removed and has been hugely reduced in size by some 160k! Below are the changes we`ve done since the offical PSI version was released on October 19th. ============================================================================ Changes List ======================= * Fully AGA Compatible Editing and Animation Viewing. The last version corrupt the screen display on AGA machines. * Fixed CloseLibrary bugs in Reqtools library. The old version did not close the RT library correctly * Gets System OS Copperlist in the SAFE "OFFICIAL" method, ie; opening the graphics.library etc. NOT BY PEEKING against the execbase * Replaced all DCB.B x,0`s to BSS memory. Now this version is actually only about 12k long (uncrunched).. THE ORIGINAL RELEASE version was a whooping 180k long!!!!!! 168k Smaller!!!!!!!!! * Modified font.. more easily readable. * Also done a few cosmetic changes so that it can be recognised as a NEW release. ============================================================================ CALL OUR BOARDS TO GET THE LSD RELEASES FASTEST!!!! ============================================================================ Now back to the original docs... ************************************************************************** * * * ObjectEditor V1.0 * * * * (c) Oct 1993 * * * * BTG of PSI * * * ************************************************************************** INTENTION ========= Every time I coded 3d-gfx I was in trouble with all that complex objects. First I tried to prepare them by my own on paper, but I expirienced that as terrible as salt-water. So I decided to code an editor to generate complex objects in less time with less work. It should be more comfortable for programmers to convert the data in their own programs. Well, here is the result of my work! FUNCTIONS OF THE EDITOR ======================= First I have to say that you've got an online help during work with ObjectEditor V1.0, just press the help-key to see all functions... The keys during editing: TAB changes to different views in editor screen W saves object data (to work on it later) L load object data (saved with 'W') S saves object assembler-source of this form Object: DC.L Pointer_To_Points DC.L Pointer_To_Lines DC.L 0 Pointer_To_Points: DC.W .... DC.W -1 Pointer_To_Lines: DC.W .... DC.W -1 F flips cursor in rectangle to zero N move selected point to cursor position D delete selected point CRSR <- select previous point CRSR -> select next point CRSR UP moves up cursor in that dimension you cannot see CRSR DOWN moves down cursor C clear all object data and start a new one H reduces size of object Z increases size of object M center object to zero A animates object in 3D-wire R generates a rotation-object ESC quits ObjectEditor , decrease number of rotations . increase number of rotations The mouse during editing: LEFT MOUSE sets an point RIGHT MOUSE sets an line from select point to cursor position The keys during animating: E quits animating object The mouse during animating: RIGHT MOUSE to change distance to object GENERAL ======= Now some general things about ObjectEditor. I you have some ideas how to improve functions or to add functions please contact me or another member of PSI. For programmers I have included some seka-sources to have a base to include the objects in there own programs. I hope you'll have a lot fun with this great work. signed, BTG of PSI October, 19th
