Download updated testmap
The new importer unfortunately still ignores my textures.
Edit: Or maybe I'm just too stupid.  |

Gecko: Dunno what your problem was, but at least your .obj file served me to test the new version  .
Changes from v0.6
- Revert levels feature (restore the original levels)
- Intro screen replacement (not sure if it works well, it needs to be tested further)
- Better error trapping
- Much better .obj and .mtl parsing
- Debugging features
After the level is imported, you can see a conversion log. Please paste this log if you have any problems with your .obj file. |

Ah, nice that you found the problem! I wouldn't never find this myself  . I will include a note about this. |

Thank you for your effort. Installing the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) fixed it.

Wheel... it started to work...
But still a lot to fix.
NEXT STEP: Make the level big with a bigger scaling |

Looks like you haven't triangulated your .obj, so half of the polygons are missing. What 3D modeller did you use? Re-check your .obj export settings.
Also, I'm interested in why the background looks glitched. Could you redo the import and send me your conversion log? There may be a bug with the specific setting you used. |

You don't have to install Microsoft Visual Studio C++, just the runtime libraries (link in Gecko's post).
What error are you talking about? Glitched backgrounds? Triangulation? Textures? |

Now with the progress:
I Expanded the Model so it would be the correct size at scaling 1 and exported with the faces triangulated
But now the textures don't match and i used textured the textures from the game, as you can see in this picture from S-UP
Next Step: Find an away to fix the textures
~ Aamelo
PS - Also, Messiaen, I Think the background wasn't working right because the Model Faces not be Triangulated |

Glitched back grounds and textures. I can't install that. My windows vista isn't regeistered because I never new about regestrations. My computer doesn't let me install programs that come from Microsoft until I get a new code to confirm it, which costs form 100 to 200 dollars. |

Please tell me what settings you used to produce the glitched background. As for textures, it's probably something related to the DLLs.
I did some research and found out that if you are using a 64-bit Windows OS, you have also to download the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x64) in addition to the Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)
Could you also test replacing cvt.exe in your folder with THIS version? To anyone with texture problems, please try using this version of Imagemagick's converter and write back if it works or not.
And here's a preview of the next version .

Will Rom Extender 1.3b work? Just checking, the readme said not to use anything after 1.3... |

This was with the new CVT.
Textures work great. Background is still a mess though. I'm switching it to JRB's background if that helps.
Seems that one of the levels textures got into the background. |

I'd say the background glitch is being caused by the out of range verticies; try scaling the model smaller so that none of the verticies fall outside the 8192 to -8192 range on any of the axes.

There's no relation between out of bound vertices and the background. The bug, as I suspected, was a typo in Jolly Roger Bay's background data. I'll recheck all the background data for more problems like this one. For now, just use a different background and it will work fine.
Breegullbeak: Did you have problems with the old cvt.exe? The one I uploaded is an older version which seems to be have less DLL problems. |

this is great!
haven't been able to reply in a while since my internet died........but it works now.
there are still a few texture errors, for example, there's a texture for a stereo speaker, but when its in game, the texture doubles beside itself, it doesn't stretch to the width of the 3d face. and there's also some missing textures that appear in the modeler but not in game, ill try to send pics later.
your doing a great job! keep up the good work.

That's awesome! Could you include music selection? It'd also be nice, if levels were ordered by their level number. |

I was avoiding including settings you can change inside Toad's Tool interface such as level terrain properties and music in order to avoid bloating the interface, though now with the Save/Load settings button I'll think about this.
Levels are ordered according to the order they are in the ROM, I need to keep this for easier data handling.
If I ever get to rewriting the music importer (the idea is to use MusicXML as an input format instead of MIDI) it would be nice to have an integrated interface for music inserting, but don't count on this anytime soon.
Also, the next version won't be compatible with the previous patch: you'll have to patch a clean ROM again. That's because I will change a bit the data layout in order to simplify the bank swapping and to make some improvements to the base level script. |
