At special request I've added Drag & Drop support to the Alo Viewer, increasing the version to 0.6.

 

You can now drop .alo and .ala files on the executable or the render window.

 

I've also added the "hidden" and "collision mesh" fields to the mesh information in the model details dialog.

Congrats, Mike.... again...

I can't get the drag and drop to work

Did you fix the issue in which the textures don't show up and I'm left with a white blob (unless I use wireframe?)

To the both of you:

 

I need more information.

Saying "hey, it doesn't work" isn't that helpful. Please describe exactly what you're trying to do and how exactly it isn't working.

 

@1upD:

Can't you drag and drop to the executable, or to the render window? In the case of the render window: do you see the "drag here" icon?

 

@D803:

Is this with a standard model, or a custom model? Could you send a screenshot or the .alo file (you can mail it)?

And is the texture white, or does it have the Petroglyph logo on it?

 

 

Details, people, details.

Drag and Drop works great.

 

Its both with custom and standard models. And the texture is white. No logo.

This is the acclamator from EaW (opened from the MEG file)

Although I don't see the purpose of Drag and Drop, it works.

 

here's my latest work:

Navytroopers with guns!

EDIT:

I often have trouble seeing things in the ALO viewer, because it's so dark.

 

Could you please add a "background color selection" panel? That would be awsome....

Ive had the same problem as D803 

 

always have....

Hey can you give post your navy trooper fot the public? I am really very very interested in it!

yes been asking him to do that in another topic 

 

Topic: I have no problems with drag and drop.

 

Ideas:

 

If there is a next version how about:

 

ALO History - in the drop down menu - so we can easily open the last model viewed in the viewer.

 

Titlebar: - show the currently open ALO file in the title bar. Less confusion on what model I just opened.

I hope he will do soon. The navy troops are among my favourite troops apart from stormtroopers. ;D

Glitched ? - what happened ?!  :-\

 

Maybe we can help you out with what the problem is ?

Thanks for the input everyone.

 

I'll build in the ALO History, Titlebar name and Background color selection in the next version

As for the white texture... I haven't got a clue.

 

Anyway, I think I know enough of the .alo and .ala format to do a major rewrite of the Alo Viewer, for better (more EaW-like, and more compatible) rendering, so maybe the white texture problem will be solved then. I plan to make it quite an upgrade

And those features will be in it

 

PS: How did this conversation turn off-topic?

Thanks Mike that update to your software would be really helpful - thanks.

You're awsome!

 

Now I can actually look at all of my skins, even the black ones

 

*prepares to stare at navytrooper model*

I downloaded 0.6, but there's no .exe

 

Do I have to have 0.2 first?
