Not matching the big news today, but I made a new release of NuXporter available on my web site. This version includes a checkbox that allows you to choose whether to export left-handed or right-handed geometry.

For those new to it: NuXporter is an exporter for .x files which includes shadow map coordinates, allows you to set effect names, exports crisp normals, and a few other things missing in the DeleD supplied exporter.

Does this not work with the LITE version? I get a version mismatch in the plugin log when I open DeleD with it.

This plugin has to be converted to match the new plugin architecture. I sure hope JWatte will find the time to convert the plugin. (*hint hint*) Wink

Hmm, yes, I've been a bit AWOL. And, unfortunately, I don't think that'll end anytime soon :-(

You might want to check this out, though, if you have some spare time :-)

I created a 1.6 branch, but it has had no work done on it yet. I'll accept patches :-)

It would be very useful if the highest ID of the returned vertices would be included as an attribute of the <vertices> element. That way, someone can pre-allocate an array of the right size.

Btw: the <poly> element is, uh, a little too verbose for my taste :-) But I'll survive.

That might be convenient, indeed! Especially given possible features uses of replacing existing vertices...

Pre-allocating arrays is a matter of taste, I guess. How will you deal with the situation where some model uses vertex ID's 1000000-1000010? Although I can probably tell you that this will never happen, because Jeroen is in the same camp as you on this one, and likes the ID's to be indices.... so there you go Very Happy.

No, it's a matter of both avoiding memory fragmentation, and of higher performance. Of course, you may have a taste that thinks that a 2,000 vertex object is immensely huge, and not care much about those things, so I suppose that could be called a matter of "taste" in that sense ;-)

If you can guarantee that ids will always be contiguous and start at 0, that will help out a bit, too.

Btw: in the general XML specification, "id" is supposed to be a unique ID within the entire document, not just within the parent element, so you might want to change the name of that element to something else. "ix" perhaps? :-) Trying to open a DeleD XML file in the MSVC XML schema generator errors out because the id tags are not unique.
