The New model Viewer is Awesome

yes you can

Select pylon connector > Attach model > select model from list in \Bazar\World\Shapes

*attaches Abrams to Harrier*

Why settle for half measures?

How can I change the livery of the weapon ? I have the livery in the Liveries folder for the plane but it's not applying to the model

Not sure on that.

latest MV2 now can export the livery description.lua of loaded edm files

 

Good job, ED!

Great addition to the model viewer ED thanks very much, now Uboats can have a holiday .

For those that dont know how to do it:

1. Go here and download the latest version

ftp://srv0files.eagle.ru/mods/model_viewer2/

2. You Generate a Model Livery File by loading the .edm of the model you want into the MV2, activate the icon in the toolbar or hit Ctrl + Shift + Alt + G and save it to where ever you want. Open with ++ as usual.

Does the texture refresh work by any chance?

Also Works for Cockpits :-)

The Standalone version should work (RELOAD TEXTURES), (*tested by loading livery, and then swapping out texture file with new one, then choosing reload textures)

Current embedded build in open beta branch or release hasnt caught up yet.

(Likely will in next updates for each branch)

Thank you :thumbup:. Looks like I can finally start sharpening my pencils then, cause I have been waiting for the reload to work, for a very long time. I couldnt be arsed to restart the program every time I needed to check what Im doing - not the workflow Im used to.

We just noticed that, with the new MV, you can reload texture after modification without restart the MV.

Yes, but it doesn't work if you update description.lua, so then you have to restart MV

Textures yes, liveries no...

Any news here ?

No idea, what i´m doing wrong - modelviewer can load a kind of standard textures (not the missing texture one) out of saved games/mods folder, but the liveries do not appear in the list using the same path - livery or texture -.

Even the game itself loads the liveries. If i put the liveries into bazar, there they are!

:helpsmilie:

Has anyone an idea ?

Had no problem with MV 1...

Not sure if it was the update or something I've done, but I cannot get the Liveries Tool to appear anywhere on screen. It worked before, when I'd check the box it would pop up and could select the livery I wanted, now nothing happens. Anyone else having this problem?

Try deleting >>Saved Games\edModelViewer2.openbeta or Saved Games\edModelViewer2<< this folder

That did the trick! Thanks!

Anyone know how to get the panning back when pressing the mouse wheel? MV1 allowed you to move the aircraft around. Especially useful when doing camo skins. I don't like the static, top, side, bottom buttons. They are useless for this purpose.

+1 i agree

Yes, but it doesn't work if you update description.lua, so then you have to restart MV

It reloads the cached textures, not the LUAs that's why.

Has anyone found a solution to getting MV2 to read a liveries folder outside '\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\'? EG 'c:\Users\Orso\Saved Games\Liveries\'.

What the hell happened to DCS and Model viewer ?!?

Exactly the problem I’m having.

Same...:no_sad:

Ditto

I've just started to create a bunch of new liveries and ran into the same thing.

Come on ED what source control software are you using? If it's source safe/TFS then please move to git because its clear something has gone wrong with your branch management (soz for the coding lang everyone else)
