[git] - 2020-03-10

(Poikilos)

Added

• replaceAll

• getTextureCount (can examine node by examining all materials, or examine material
• Blitz3D format notes
• OnSelectMesh (cleans up model-specific variables)
• getSuffix
• getPrefix
• startsWithAny

Changed

• Rename some member variables to start with m_.
• Detect textures better, and simplify code:
  • Search for substring and substring without underscores within potential textures.
  • Detect as soon as model is loaded if the model has no textures.
  • Cache both the full and matching texture lists.
  • If there are any matching textures (named like model), only use that list for cycling with F3 (or Shift F3).

• Update screenshot.
• Reduce line length in some places.
• Improve Changelog formatting.

Fixed

• Fix crash trying to load a non-mesh after a mesh was loaded (See "Manipulating mesh on failed load" section of README.md).

Removed

• m_NextPath and m_PreviousPath (replaced by m_LoadedMeshPath and simplified cycling code)

[git] - 2019-07-03

(Poikilos)

Changes

• Move the display mode booleans to Engine.
• Add more string utilities.
• Do fuzzy search against actual texture names if can't find theoretical ones.

[git] - 2019-05-16

(Poikilos)

Added

• playback menu
  • Move framerate controls to playback menu.
• fix frame-by-frame hotkeys
  • move code to new incrementFrame method

[git] - 2019-05-16

(Poikilos)

Changed

• improve minetest texture detection (alternate conventions)
• turn off interpolation if loadNextTexture detects minetest directory structure (../textures/)

[git] - 2019-05-16

(Poikilos)

Added

• export COLLADA (non-Blender), IRR, IRRMESH, OBJ, STL
• show dialog box if operation can't be performed
  • improve error reporting in called methods
• add irr mimetype (Irrlicht Scene, mesh file references and settings only)
• add irrlicht mimetype (static/non-animated Irrlicht mesh)

[git] - 2019-04-19

(Poikilos)

Added

• box for axis length (size of the axis widget)
• box for frame rate
• camera target widget
• option for turning off origin axis widget
• Add menu items for hotkeys, and show hotkey on relevant menu items.

Changed

• Reorder items on panel.
• Hotkeys are different so they're not triggered when typing in the panel.
• Don't reset yaw nor camera distance when panning.
• Show name of loaded model on title bar.
• Fix crash on loading texture before model.
• Fix use of unsigned frame delta for slow and fast options.

[git] - 2019-04-08

(Poikilos)

Added

• snapWidgets (move playbackWindow on resize, not leave past edge)

Changed

• changed enum values to leave room in between, comment unused
• fixed issue in Utility not detecting backslashes correctly
• renamed Utils.* to Utility.* to match class name
• coding style to WebKit (run ./etc/quality.sh to check)
• improve pan - don't reset view
• improve initial camera settings: angle calculation

[git] - 2019-04-08

(Poikilos)

Added

• toggle texture interpolation (via checkbox and x hotkey)
• INDEX_ variables to store ID of GUI elements
• Text box show name of loaded texture path

Changed

• check if model is loaded before changing view options (prevents crash)
• unified checkboxes with m_* booleans, by tracking whether box is checked via INDEX_ variables for each ID of GUI elements.
• look for ../textures/.png & .jpg 1st time pressing t
• Use alpha on textures by default (see EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL_REF in Engine.cpp)

[git] - 2019-03-09

(Poikilos)

Added

• completed rotation controls (Blender-like)
• pan up and down (Blender-like, but only up and down)
• Z or Y to switch ("up" axis)
• change up axis to Z when 3ds is loaded
• model-ms3d.xml mime type file

[git] - 2019-03-09

(Poikilos)

Added

• hotkeys to reload model/texture
• license (see README.md for licensing history)

Changed

• only try to load png or jpg textures--skip others when cycling
• cycle backwards correctly
• fix some of the header creep (remove unecessary includes in h files)
• improve initial camera position and angle (see top of characters since camera is higher; z-forward characters face camera at an angle)
• Clarify relationship between camera start position in m_Engine and m_View's rotation (m_Pitch and m_Yaw). Now, setNewCameraPosition operates on view correctly (relatively) no matter where camera starts.

[git] - 2019-03-07

(Poikilos)

Added

• playback controls

[git] - 2019-03-06

(Poikilos)

Added

• created install.sh and install.bat, and added Install and Usage to README.md
• icon, install scripts, and mime type (model/b3d)--see README.md
• mime type (model/x)
• added ClearSansRegular.ttf
• hotkeys to cycle ../textures/*

Changed

• The program can now start without "test.b3d" in the current working directory (fixed Segmentation Fault).
• set TARGET = b3view in B3View.pro, so that binary is lowercase as per usual Linux naming conventions.
• check for font load failure properly, and load properly if succeeds
• check for "ClearSansRegular.ttf" instead of "arial.ttf"
• move using namespace directives from h files and specify upon use, as per C++ best practices; add directives to cpp files only as needed (removed cumulative namespace creep).

[git-94e3b8f] - 2019-03-06

(Poikilos)

Added

• README.md

Changed

(CGUITTFont methods are in CGUITTFont class unless otherwise specified)

• fixed instances of "0 as null pointer constant" (changed to nullptr)
• changed inconsistent use of spaces and tabs (changed tabs to 4 spaces)
• (UserInterface.cpp) fixed "logical not is only applied to the left hand side of this comparison..." (put parenthesis around event.EventType == EET_GUI_EVENT)
• Silently degrade to pixel font if font file cannot be read (fixes Segmentation Fault when font file cannot be read).
  • check for nullptr before using:
    • (CGUITTFont.cpp) tt_face->face in getWidthFromCharacter, getGlyphByChar (return 0 as bad as per convention: existing code already checks for 0--see getWidthFromCharacter), getKerningWidth, draw, attach (also don't copy null by reference there--instead, set to nullptr if source is nullptr)
  • check length of array before using
    • (CGUITTFont.cpp) elements of Glyph array (type core::array<CGUITTGlyph>) in getHeightFromCharacter
  • (CGUITTFont.cpp) check whether file can be read in CGUITTFace::load before proceeding

Removed

• arial.tff removed, since it may be the "real" Arial font, which has a proprietary license
