New Script: Rollout Builder

[rdg]

Wahooney,

this looks very promissing - again.

Looking forward to see the demo and the strechy IK ;)

Thanks Georg,

The reason I made this was that most of my Rollouts in RAK were made in VMS so everything is absolutely positioned and I wanted a visual way of laying my stuff out again, that's why the Stretchy IK button is there, I was busy laying out a rollout for RAK2 when I took that shot. When I've finished that panel I'll post a video demo of Stretchy IK.

I recorded a demo last night, but I was too lazy to stay up and upload it. So here it is!
Rollout Builder Video Demo (http://www.wahooney.net/download.php?view.53)
You'll need the Techsmith codec to view it.

Just watched the demo.

This is definitely a must-have!

I'll see if I can release it tonight. I just want to put it a bit through it's paces first.
Still going to need someone to help me with a rollout parser, any volunteers?

Sorry - I cannot help you here.
I am knee deep in a generic Desktop Publishing CMYK jungle ...

Are you using any codecs on the demo video?. Will not run under WMP/Divx for me.

p.s. when are you, Bobo, Neale, Seagull, Lagnecrantz and Huguet going team up to write the next gen 3D app to replace Max/Maya/SXI/LW....... ;()

thanks

[Wahooney]

You're going to have to download and install the Techsmith Codec (http://download.techsmith.com/tscc/tscc.exe).

As for the second question, we'll do it as soon as I move up to Canada or Paul and Bobo move down here to South Africa and some guy that has a couple of billion dollars that he just doesn't know how to spend comes along :p

Rollout Builder is now called:

Rollout Army Knife!
it seemed the obvious choice

Download it here (http://www.wahooney.net/download.php?view.54)

You should add it to a Hot Key, Menu or Quad Menu, tutorials can be found here (http://www.wahooney.net/download.php?list.6).

The video demo (http://www.wahooney.net/download.php?view.53) will still help you out, but note that some of the controls have moved around a bit. I'll record a new video demo and upload it tomorrow evening (18 hours from now, for those not in Central African time ;) ) gettin sleepy and I need to get up early on the morrow. :scream:

At the moment this script is at the point that I need it to be, but I will be adding more features, but at the moment this script is just meant to aid the layout process of rollouts.

Please give me any bugs you may find, I am open to suggested features, but the chances of them being added in the near future are remote as this script will probably have undergo a complete rewrite sometime and will be added as part of Scripters Army Knife (http://www.wahooney.net/download.php?view.47).

Oh boy I love army knives!

No seriously, this looks really useful, I'm gonna try it out soon. Looks like something that I can definitely use for all of my random scripts that I wrote at one time or another (i.e. som random bevel script etc.)

thanks man

Cheers
Gerd

Ooooh! Stretchy IK! You're a tease Keith. :D

Very nice tool!

I had errors trying to run the script, i think you forgot to put the caption when defining ui in NewRollout:

i replaced

fn NewRollout =
(
ui = cRO edtROName.text spnROWidth.value spnROHeight.value
arrControls = #()
ro = undefined

ResetSpinners()

BuildRollout()
)

by:

fn NewRollout =
(
ui = cRO edtROCaption.text edtROName.text spnROWidth.value spnROHeight.value
arrControls = #()
ro = undefined

ResetSpinners()

BuildRollout()
)

and it seems to work now :)

edit: oh and the list of controls didn't appear, i changed the definition of ddlControl in the "controls" group to get it.

I'll definitely use that script!

reedit: i can't remove controls (but i think it works ok with groups), i get an error when i use the button of the main dialog, and it does nothing when i use the one of the arrcontrol dialog. maybe i don't use those when i'm supposed to?

*yonk* in my Script Librairie
Thank Wahonney!

[Wahooney]

Sorry about the obvious bugs guys, serves me right for not testing properly before releasing :blush:

I've fixed the following bugs:


Caption Error
Remove Control Error
Edit Button disabling when editing a group
With any luck that should be all, sorry, still no new video, I'll get on it asap, you can get the plugin from the above link in the previous post again.
