Adding a Separate Project for the Max 4 max2mapExporter in VC6.

While it is a simple change to repoint the current max2mapExporter to use the Max 4 SDK there may be a couple teams where the different modelers have different versions of Max. So I separated the max2mapExporter into a version for Max3 and another for Max4. Imagine my surprise when the first time I went to CVS it helpfully changed it all back! So I also added a new dsw file, Torque SDK2.dsw to eliminate the CVS issue.

Car with weapon mounts

This demonstrates a couple things. 1. Mount points for a wheeled vehicle, including weapons 2. Script for mounting and firing 2 weapons on a vehicle 3. Proper Collision Mesh usage for a wheeled vehicle (ie. wheel hub nodes inside the collision box) This is an advanced tutorial and as such it only includes the models and script files. There is no step by step.

Splitting Left and Right Strafe Animations

The following code change adds the ability to have separate left and right strafe animations, replacing the current side animation. The original code for strafe left and right (or side to side movement) used a single animation that was played forward or backward in order to simulate movement to the left or the right. While this is a very clever use of animations it does not necessarily create a very believeable representation of a person running to the left or the right. Instead the character hops to the left and right in a movement that at high speeds is not believable. Our changes involve removing the “Side” entries from the Player files and replacing it with “strafeL” and “strafeR” entries. We will start with the Player.h file and add a SideRightAnim to match the original SideLeftAnim. (The SideLeftAnim was played backward for right animations originally) We will also adjust the resulting enumeration entries and calculations that depend on it. Next, in the Player.cc file the new entries for strafeL and StrafeR are added along with table entries that indicate which direction the character is moving in, similar to those currently used for running forward and backward. Additionally in player.cc the routine that switched the sideways motion for player left and right movement by reversing the animation is simply commented out. Finally, the player.cs file has new entries added for strafeL and strafeR. It should be noted that when this change is complete older models will no longer animate when they move from side to side since the call they make to “side” will have been removed. However, the animations will continue to function in all other ways leaving them usable for testing. That’s the plan. Lets get started....
