Running multiple 3DRad editors in one PC

2010-06-15T07:23:00.000-07:00

How to run multiple instances of 3DRad in one pc?

Download sandboxie at:
http://www.sandboxie.com/

Install.
Run 3DRad normally
Run another copy of 3DRad (free sandbox version allows only 1 sandbox):
Right click 3DRad icon> Run sandboxed

* If it doesnt work, you need to give full rights to the drives where 3DRad is installed.

3DRad Script Editor Replacement Hijack

2010-05-30T06:31:00.000-07:00

*Update

what:
- use any text editor instead of build-in scintilla (demo uses windows notepad)
- Object handles, input/output lists can be also read to the external editor (in this demo they are just listed on top)

how to test:
- run exe (icon appears icon tray, near the clock..you right click the icon to close program)
- start 3DRad, add script object
- add few other objects and link them to script (to get some input/output items)
- start editing script and hijacker should jump and start notepad
- edit your script in notepad and close it (dont save..just click close)
- hijacker put your new code to rad script editor

notes:
- it only loops once (so you have to start exe again if you want to try again)
- if you use it twice, object handles/items are listed twice..no filtering yet..

I'm thinking if would use it with PSPad or Scitex source code editors,
since they have nice text editing with syntax highlight, syntax help etc.

Or make completely own source code editor with object lists
and use any embedded source code editor..

* version 1.1 works with
- scite4au3
- notepad++
- Advanced Script editor

mOnlineHighScore (test project)

2010-05-29T05:29:00.000-07:00

Usage:
- Copy php file to your webserver
- Copy highscore.txt to your webserver AND set permissions: 666 (otherwise php file fails to read/write it)
- Test 3DRAd project file (press enter to submit random score)

Notes:
- Do not use 'as is' for published games, since it might not be secure/safe.
- Would have problems if many users try to submit at the same time. (use database instead?)
- No checking or encryption used (users can hax the scores with manual links etc..)
- file_get_contents & file_put_contents might not work on all server. (try fopen/fread/fwrite..)
- Highscore file format is "nobody,999999|" "name_score_separator"

2010-05-24T07:46:00.000-07:00

Version 1.3

- .x mesh viewer (preview meshes, with vertex count info)
- Rigidbody/Skinmesh object thumbnail creator (select mesh to view, click "Create Thumbnail")

Notes:
- mesh viewer zoom & rotate is bit broken..(right click rotate, mousescroll zoom)
but normally it should (automatically) zoom so that most of the mesh is visible.
- Most likely needs .NET Framework 3.5 : http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=333325FD-AE52-4E35-B531-508D977D32A6&displaylang=en

Version 1.2:

- 'Import & unzip to 3DRad' (You select a zip file and its automatically unzippped to 3DRad objects folder (either rigidbodies or skinmeshes, NOT both in same zip..)

Version 1.1:

- 'Export & zip to desktop' (makes .zip file of the selected object+index image and copies the .zip to desktop)

Version 1:
- Browse & Delete rigidbodies
- Browse & Delete skinmeshes

* deletes to recyclebin, so you can restore files if make a mistake
