I will try and tst this when I get home.

Thanks for your work! Unfortunately after I've copied the dll into the ES plugin folder, there is still no "ExportHMP" menu aviable...any hints?

Hey Loopix. I'm not sure why not. Want add me to msn messenger? redleb_AThotmail~lNOSPAM~DOTcom I'd really like to get it working on another machine...

Also, do you have a registered vrsion of ES? I don't know if the unreg. version loads additional plugins or not.

No...I don't have the registered version of ES. Nevertheless it should load up to 5 plugins. Strange...the first version of your plugin loaded just fine.
The free version of ES has a texture-size limit of 257x257...can this be the reason?

(Sorry...I don't have MSN. You should know...I'm extremely old school )

Hey, I don't think so. You could try clearing out the plugin folder and seeing what ES shows in the plugin menu (should be empty). Then add the plugins back in one by one running ES each time to see if they appear in the plugin menu.

It's possible it is crashing in DllMain or something.
Do you have the dxsdk installed?

Problem is my machine has just about everything installed on it so I have every version of every dll there is, it could be you are missing something like d3dx9.dll? The program needs that to call some of the d3dx texture functions.


If after clearing the plugin folder and seeing if it's recognizing them being added one by one, it still doesn't show up then I will recompile the dll with commented out code and see if it shows up then. That is, if you don't mind being my guinea pig.

(any IM at all my old skool :))

does not work here either...registered version though.

Tested and works here, Although I had to copy the d3dx9_30.dll from gamestudio
into EarthSculptor's plugins folder and rename it to d3dx9_36.dll.
I reckomend that the d3dx9_36.dll be included with the plugin.

Loaded the exported hmp into WED no problems.
I haven't tested the exported .hmp in my level as yet though.

I have a registered version of EarthSculptor Beta 1.05 and my map size is 1024.

Great contribution ecg_limey, looking forward to the final release..

Hi

Thanks for that info. Nid. I'll put the dll in the zip file.

Would you guys mind trying again with dxdx9_36.dll?

I'm thinking that on export it should just write out all the bmps, blend, shadow, textures etc... as seperate files. This will allow you to do whatever u want in so far as rendering and shaders. The dds part can stay the same.

There is no final version, it's constantly being modified at the mo for myself.

I was hoping you guys would use it and give me feed back on where to go with it. I personally use it as I can go from ES to in-game within a minute which is great when tweaking stuff.

D3DX9_36.DLL

No problem.

Sounds like a good idea. Would this also include the water as well as the sky cube?

The only thing I can think of at the moment is to have the option for number of faces upon export, Other than
that I don't think there is to much more that can be done with this fantastic plugin
