NodeBoxEditor [0.9.0] - Zooming, dynamic snap res

[angjminer]

I know this is your baby, but my kids are really into minetest,
i got your source and added a couple of things,
it exports to a file now,
and you can name the mod folder, and node,,,it will appear in the exported lua.
going to try to get it to let you choose where to export it to, and choose texture for the faces, (getting a list from a chosen dir in the mods folder/ or default??)
when i am done if you like ill get you the changes.

[rubenwardy]

I am actually rewriting this project to have better c++ style.

[rubenwardy]

[h]0.5 Released![/h]

Because of the amount of changes I have made, I have skipped a few versions.

Features

• Dual drag system on control (opposite sides scale at same time).
• Node box position on shift (can move node box when shift is held).
• Node box properties menu.
• Tool/mode implementation (only node box tool works atm).

Visual changes

• Lines separate the tiles.
• Drag boxes show in full screen tile modes.

Structure changes

• Built around a project class - more object orientated.
• Node boxes now hold the dimensions as corner to corner, not position size.
• Menu system allows dialogs to be controlled.
• Relative size system - setting the foundations for multi-node.

Bug fixes

• Cameras no longer stretch on resize.

[h]To Do[/h]

Features

• Load/save project
• Multi node
• Node tool
• Node creation tool
• Nodebox Textures
• Texture tool

[h]Windows Build[/h]
Version 0.5 - works with WinXP!

[Dan Duncombe]

I would love it if only it worked...

The procedure entry point cgD3D9UnbindProgram could not
be located in the dynamic link library cgD3D9.dll

I built irrlicht with CG shader support, and I forget to use standard irrlicht for the nb generator

Just fixing it...

Hey rubenwardy! I made a bash script that automatically compiles your node box generator in your desktop. Please tell me what you think.
Code:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

Also, remember to change the extension to .sh and chmod +x it.

I am very new to Git (as in only created two repositories a couple of hours earlier new) so can someone explain or link to exactly how to run this?
Edit: I saved this into a .sh file as new.sh, put it in my Github folder, extracted the 0.5 zip file into the same place, then in Git Shell I typed

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

bash new.sh chmod +x

This ran the script, but most of the commands (wget, cmake and make) were not found, and it also said "tar:The-NodeBox-Generator.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory"
I have extracted the .zip file into the same place as the bash script, but it does not have the extension of .gz, and there was no tar file.

I believe that this works in ubuntu only. (I think)

On XP, I downloaded the 0.5 zip file and extracted from it, then extracted from that file, then clicked the .exe file, and I got an error message saying cg.dll was not found. After downloading thta, cgD3D9.dll was not found, and after downloading that, I got an error message - not saying that another .dll was not found, but that

Is there something else that needs to be downloaded? Edit: just realised I have the same problem as Dan Duncombe.

CG Problem fixed: http://ubuntuone.com/4QObcYrDKYYAe624he7uAq

This was not a problem with the code, but rather with my build. I used a CG version of Irrlicht accidentally.

Thanks so much for this!

A thankyou song:

This is so great,
It is so helpful,
I just made a model plate,
Of tomatoes (a bowlful!)

I hope you appreciate this amazing song. Thankyou for listening, ladies and gents. (Nice app by the way!)

Weird.

For all people on linux that have the same problem as me:
After the "cmake ." step:
Open CMakeFiles/NodeBoxGenerator.dir/link.txt in an editor and add -lXxf86vm
and you're done, now "make" and it should compile

Do you know how to add this to cmakelists.txt, in a way I can push to mainstream?

Ruben, Congrats! ^^ I always knew you would and could do it! Thanks for bringing this great tool to the community. :D

[Element]

where do i put the file

[Dan Duncombe]

where do i put the file

Extract it, then put all the files in a folder anywhere. then click on NodeBoxGen.exe

[Element]

can i edit other stuff...if so...can you tell me what to do

[tima_gt]

Very good program!

[Neuromancer]

Why don't I see the textures? It's just black, white, and shades of grey.
Edit: I didn't see the textures on Vista, I did on windows 7.

But I noticed that I can't save my progress. If I'm half finished with a a set of nodeboxes, I can't quit and resume where I left off as there is no save or import function. Please implement soon! Would you be ok with it if I helped?

This http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/files/
kind of says how to read/write a file in c++. Does anyone know where the code to convert the objects to the nodebox text is?


I got this to build and run in Visual Studio 2012. Here what I did.
Pulled down the code from github.

Followed these instructions:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/754c3hy7.aspx
To create a project from existing code files

On the File menu, click New, and then click Project From Existing Code.

The Create New Project from Existing Code Files wizard opens.

Use the wizard to specify the details of the existing code files that will be added to the project and the application that will be created when you build the project.

I think I chose windows32 app (and probably should have chosen console app as you will see below)

Then I followed some of my own irrlicht tutorial (but see below as it is different):
https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?id=4819


-First you need to download the irrlicht SDK. You can do that here:
http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/downloads/
-Next, take the folder from the zip file (irrlicht-1.8) and put it in your projects folder (C:\Users\x\Projects)
-To let the compiler find the irrlicht.h header file, right click the project> Properties>Configuration Properties>C++
-Click on: Additional Include Directories, <click on down arrow>, Edit, Folder with star (new line), "..."
-navigate to the include folder inside the IRRLICHT folder C:\Users\x\Projects\irrlicht-1.8\include.
-click ok.
-click on linker> Additional Library Directories>, , <click on down arrow>, Edit, Folder with star (new line), "..."
-navigate to your equivalent of C:\Users\x\Projects\irrlicht-1.8\lib\Win32-visualStudio
Even though I have a 64 bit operating system (the 64 folder caused errors for me), select folder> OK> OK
-Then go ahead and paste the code from the tutorial webpage into your irrLichtTutorial1.cpp file.
-you may get the following errors:
MSVCRTD.lib(crtexew.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6626397/error-lnk2019-unresolved-external-symbol-winmain16-referenced-in-function
Thats a linker problem.

Try to change Properties -> Linker -> System -> SubSystem

from Windows (/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS) to Console (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE)


-it will compile, but when you try to run you will get the following error:
"The program can't start because Irrlicht.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."
-Copy C:\Users\x\Projects\irrlicht-1.8\bin\Win32-VisualStudio\Irrlicht.dll to
C:\Users\x\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\irrLichtTutorial1\Debug

and it works!

[Neuromancer]

If you want to mess with this using a Visual Studio solution:

https://github.com/Neuromancer56/NodeBox

Any enhancements will just be sent as cpp & .h file pull requests to Ruben Wardy's main repository. But if you don't want to deal with make files and have something that just builds out of the box in Visual Studio you can use this.

[rubenwardy]

I used Visual Studio to develop this :P

[Neuromancer]

I used Visual Studio to develop this :P

Yep, I saw that but couldn't get it to build. It it as simple as running a make file? Or if not, do you have instructions to build on Windows? Do you have any project or solution files?
