Cool, thanks mercuryus, works well except for an error report when first opening (there is no disc in the drive) and when choosing a drive letter or folder.
Other than that its great to see colored models rotating, also having the ability to zoom in is a real bonus.

I get the "No disk in drive"-error only if the tray from the cd-rom is open.
If it is closed it works fine.

All my trays are closed, perhaps I need library dependancies or something.
The 'No disc in Drives' error is reading from 3 partitions and a portable usb 80 Gb device drive.

Please
download the most current version (V2.1) .
I've fixed some problems and changed the way to scan the drives.

[edit] usb devices may take a little longer to scan the directories...
disconected drives (e.g. network) will cause in waiting for the os timeout.

Really useful. Any chance it will support MDL5? I ask because I opened a folder with some MDL5s in it and it gave me an error and closed.
Still, way cool!

MDL5 should be supportet.
What error do you get?
-Can you open the model with MED standalone?
-Can you open the model in a level/game (which 3gds version?)
thanx, mercuryus
@Nemisis: thanx for you voting!!!

Re: [free] MDLVIEW (gamestudio model viewer) - 07/04/07 07:02
I think that I found the reason for the error:
It doesn't tolerate names longer than this:
Quote:
pokedwarf6body1armsthroat1Fr.mdl
means 28 letters plus dot and ending of 3 letters.
BTW: in windowmode it still doesn't show more folders than 50 ...
If you are still loving to improve things in it:
Do you like to add that one can see the chosen mdl in different modes?
Maybe, stopping rotating, turning with mouse, scrolling through frames, see it with alpha and without alpha!
Anyway, don't feel forced to add such wishes, it is very generous contribution!
Extremely helpful!

this is a bug in ent_create.
I will report it in the bugs area...
there is a limit of 1000 possible folders.
Can't validate the error with the 50 folders (checked it with >100)

I got the problem only, when starting the bat file, as I said: in window mode, when starting the exe, everything is okey.
These are minor issues as long as one knows the restrictions.

no problem here - would you send me the directory list (maybe it's a naming problem)
use dir >dirlist.txt /AD in a DOS-Box.
You can send it to info[ at]gameus[dot ]de

I tried, but wasn't successful.
I tried it within different folders, and the same: from a certain point the following folders are not shown.

what's the total stringlength of the path?
are there special characters in the path?

Re: [free] MDLVIEW (gamestudio model viewer) - 07/04/07 12:37
It happens regardless of where I place the MDLviewer and regardless of the path's depth.
For instance, I put the viewer on D: and opened the same directory - no difference, some folders are always missed...

hmmm - don't know.
Maybe it's an other gamestudio "problem"...

Don't worry! Its still a great tool!
(And that error happens only in window mode.)

Hi,
Very good tool, I like it very much
Thank you for the contribuition.
I have a little sugestion for you improve this great tool, make a way that the program can be associate with icons, in this way the user can click in one mdl and your tool show it or a plug-in for irfanView show MDL.
BR
