Dnamro announced: BF1942-Blender-add-on available by Ahrkylien

 

A Battlefield 1942 import/export add-on for Blender.
The add-on is still in a very early stage.

Features:

• Heightmap.raw import/export
• Standard Mesh (.sm and .rs) import/export
• Tree Mesh (.tm) import/export
• staticObject.con import/export

Usage:

• download the add-on zip: https://github.com/Ahrkylien/BF1942-Blender-add-on/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
• open Blender
• in Blender go to: Edit -> Preferences -> Add-ons -> Install....
• select the zip you just downloaded
• now the Add-on is added. You only need to enable it by clicking the checkbox
• in Object-Mode on the right pannel (press 'n') you will find the BF1942 menu

ToDo:

• heightmap import/export:
  • add multires support: https://bfmods.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2275&p=15648
• .sm import:
  • correct vertex normals (COL)
  • correct face normals (LOD)
  • research matterial settings inside .sm (LOD)
  • let LODs share the same Material
  • let materials share the same textures
• .sm export:
  • LOD generation
  • create dummy Visible mesh if none supplied
  • Separate Face by Angle The LOD mesh separates faces whose face-to-face angle is greater than the smoothing angle. By separating it, the boundary between faces will appear angular in the game.
  • Shadow LOD seperate faces (check if its needed, Dice Shadow meshes have this)
  • Add matterials of non-mainLods to rs if not there already
• staticObject.con import
  • create list of possible ObjectTemplates/Meshes based Template structure readout or .lst readout
  • support Collections (bundles)
• staticObject.con export
  • support Collections (bundles)
  • support linked translation (translation of parent object)
• create UI for manullay adding staticObject to scene from list:
  • https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/44886/search-enum-list
• add minimap render

   bpy.context.scene.render.resolution_x = bpy.context.scene.render.resolution_y
   camera = bpy.ops.object.camera_add(enter_editmode=False, align='VIEW', location=(0, 0, 1000*0.01), rotation=(0, 0, 0))
   bpy.context.object.data.type = 'ORTHO'
   bpy.context.object.data.ortho_scale = 2048*0.01
   bpy.context.object.data.shift_x = 0.5
   bpy.context.object.data.shift_y = 0.5
   bpy.context.object.data.clip_end = 1000
  

• add Lightmap export for maps
• fill in: https://github.com/Ahrkylien/BF1942-Blender-add-on/wiki and add it to bl_info = {}
  • MaterialID list
