Hot Swap DTS Object

#1 Hi i have tried swapping the player texture , i am not sure for dts model .
try deleting the model [object.delete();]and replace with the new one .give a shot . if works then let me know .to insert anty dts model no relightning is need , so go ahead and do it.

#2 Hi Roshan,

Hot swapping for textures appears to be working (with only a small bug if the texture size has changed). I am looking to implement the same type of functionality, where ALL instances would be updated with the new DTS object if the DTS object's crc has changed.

I was hoping that somone might have already implemented this capability. If not, I will eventually get to it and, when I do, I'll post it as a resource.

Thanks
Todd

#3 I thought you could just exec the .cs file and it would update? It works for other things. I also read a forum where someone had binded a key to do this also, but really you just need to type it once and then use the up arrow.

exec("~/data/shapes/myObject/myObject.cs");

maybe?

#4 Hmmm, no, I think its a lot harder than exec'ing a .cs file. I think the only person with relevent experience with this would be someone like Dave Wyand, I'm reasonably sure he did something of this for showtool pro or will have looked at it.

Maybe want to drop him a line and ask direct, dont know how much he browses this forum.

#5 Hey Phil,

From my initial look through the code, I also got the impression that it is a somewhat non-trivial task. I will email Dave as you suggested. Also, one way or another I am going to tackle this and when I do I will post my results.

Thanks.
Todd

#6 Hi, I'm looking a way to do that, anyone found any way to do that!?

#7 ShowTool Pro would be a good tool to use while tweaking a model.
