An even easier way would be to just use the Registry to determine where the Risen folder is located.

I have multiple Risen folders and never used the setup (extract_all + IsCabView of an InstallShield demo version).
Therefore I’m fine with relative paths and/or a config file with Risen-like defaults

[Galrath434]

Ok now there are 4 possiblities to locate the archive files:
1. Use the registry(you don't have to unpack the folder anymore)
2. You can place the folder at this location : "RisenMainFolder/Lrent Viewer"
3. You can specify a path in the Settings.ini, this will only be used if it is diffrent then "INVALID".
4. It will be checked if there are valid files at "Resources/Scene/Paks".

I think everybod should be happy now

@NicoDE:
Could you have a look at the "gCInventory_PS" or/and the "gCNavigation_PS" classes? It would be very nice if it was possible to alter the contents NPC's inventorys or change the WayPoints.

\Resources\Scene\Models\ (is the folder still used?)

I use this folders for the SpeedTree models, but it could also be used for additional models which can be loaded from the "EditScene" window.

[NicoDE]

Could you have a look at the "gCInventory_PS" or/and the "gCNavigation_PS" classes?

As soon as possible. But currently I have enough things to do at work and at home

[Galrath434]

I have spent some time adding new things to the Viewer and I made some improvements.

1. It is now possible to view and edit inventories, you can select any entity, look at it's inventory, add new items, remove some or change the amount of an item. There are still some problems with the slots(the armor, head, helmet) because I am not shure how to work with them, but I will fix this till the next release.

2. I added scripts. They are written in plain C#, compiled at runtime and you can do basiclly all you want in them. I did this so people could edit multiple entities at once. For example if you want to turn all entities upside down this can be done in just a few lines now. I chose C# because it's easy to implement and really easy to use, all people who know C++ or C should be fine with it.

Next I will have a go at Waypoints, I will try to not only display them(which should be easy) but to make them editable(which is going to be hard ).

Is there any reason why nobody has made a small mod where the hero has to fight against "thousands" of enemys? I imagine this could be a lot of fun.
Is it because the viewer is that horrible to work with or because there are not enogh possiblities?

If somebody thinks there are features I should add please let me know because right now I will only add thing I find interesting and not what could be helpfull.

I will add some screenshots which show how easy it is to work with inventories after I get home from school
[Edit] Here it is :

[Ihrrik]

ehm.
Where can I download the latest version?
Your startpost was changed on 09.19.2010 the last time.

[Galrath434]

Ah nice to see that somebody is interested
Yeah you are right my last update was quite a while ago, thats because in the next update I want to add lots of new things and I can't really stop
If you would like to try it please send me a pm and I will provide you with a beta version. There you can edit inventories/modify waypoints etc. It would be a beta version because I hadn't had time to test all the new features, but it should be alright.

[Ihrrik]

Sounds great.
I come back to it when I've done my exams.

This message is a reply to the discussion of Bruno inability to find a way through the Monastery main gate, started in RisenSDK thread (figured I should move it into a more appropriate thread):

But if you know what the excat problem with the nav path is(if there is one) feel free to contact me I would be glad to help you.

Well, figuring out what causes the problem is part of the problem. For starters it would be nice to just check if there are any nav-paths present in the game, which lead through Monastery main gate.
I downloaded LrentViewer (found two links in this thread) but both versions crash on startup on my system.

i dont know whats the cause of this crash, but i know that u need shader model 4.0 and dx10.

btw. u should contact him via pm, because the version in this thread is highly outdated.

[Galrath434]

I downloaded LrentViewer (found two links in this thread) but both versions crash on startup on my system.

Firtly, I am sorry for that. Secondly, does startup mean right after starting the program or does it mean when loading a lrent? I am assuming the first because you seem to know c++ and know what you are talking about

Ok here is a guess : Your operating system has some diffrent language type than English/German. "Problem Signature 09: System.FormatException" sounds to me like string to float conversion going wrong because of "," and "." problems, this is of course just and example for formatting problems. Problem is I have no idea where this happens. So here is a Debug build which will print out the stacktrace and some descriptions. If you tell me these info I should be able to fix it.

i dont know whats the cause of this crash, but i know that u need shader model 4.0 and dx10.

Well thats alway a good guess with this program
But you can see from "Feature Level : Level_11_0" that DirectX chose 11 as rendering path, If you only have ShaderModel 2 this will be "Level_9_2". But a good guess anyhow

btw. u should contact him via pm, because the version in this thread is highly outdated.

I wouldn't directly phrase it like this,... okay well maybe I would

Yes, the program crashes right after startup, before displaying main window. Message box displayed the same message as in the log. I have English OS and Ukrainian locale set. "Decimal symbol" is changed to "." in Regional Settings applet in Control Panel. Here is the log:

Ok well I think because of your operating system excpecting "." to be the decimal seperator, my "ObjectCount = 0,05" in "settings.ini" was killing C#. I changed the parsing method a bit and it should work now. I tried it by setting my decimal sperator in the control panel to "." and it worked. But as always with computers no guarantees

Could you maybe tell me if everything is working correctly so I can update the link on the first page.

[PowerGamer]

Could you maybe tell me if everything is working correctly so I can update the link on the first page.

It works now, a useful program indeed, thank you.
Well, it crashed when I tryed to do "File->Save Lrents" command, probably not fully implemented yet? Just in case here is a crash log:

Also, why upon doing "File->Open Folder" command, program allows user to select a folder only inside "My Documents"?

[Galrath434]

Actually saving is implemented. You could move/rotate/clone/delete entities and save it all. But this isn't very usful because you won't be able to edit events etc.

Well you problems is quite interesting because on the one hand Windows tells us that the file can't be accessed :
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'G:\projects\World\Cities\Monastery\Monastery_Events.lrent' is denied.
On the other hand there seems to be a problem while iterating over a list :
Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute.

I am not quite shure what the problem could be. Did you move any entities with the gizmo(or change anything in a way, besides the camera) or did you just open a lrent and save it?

Anyhow you could check if your user has read and write rights on the file(right click->Properties...).

[PowerGamer]

It seems the file I opened and tryed to save was marked as Read-Only (I unpacked all the files with Risenaut.exe). After removing the Read-Only flag saving the file works.

Just fixed that.

Anything else I should fix?
Or any suggestions for other things to implement?

I can't see no problem. You do have textures.

If you want to see the level mesh then you have to open Risen\data\common\projects\World\_Level\*.lrent.
