First off, this is not an editing question, which is why I'm posting in the discussion forum.. so...

I have an XNA programming class at school and for one of my projects I thought it would be cool to load a JKL. Well, I got the geometry loaded (just using the vertex and surface lists), but I'm having a problem with the texture coordinates and whatnot. The jkspecs say that I need to convert the scale by doing (U / texWidth) and (V / texHeight), but that doesnt seem to be working. Any ideas? .. I know some have wrote JKL Loaders in the past in other 3D API's.

Might I also point out that XNA requires everything to be drawn as a triangle, so all JK Surfaces have to be triangulated.. so I'm not sure if that messes up the coords or not.

Triangulation shouldn't. Since all the faces are convex, you can just turn them into triangle strips.

For texture coords, the jkspecs are correct. Make sure the sizes you are dividing by are the sizes of the original texture.

Make sure you're dividing by the original texture size, and not the width/height of a mipmap of a lower quality.

Well XNA's Texture2D has a Width and Height property which is what I'm using, but I will try to hard code that value to test and see if it changes.

Got it working.. forgot to change the VertexDeclaration to VertexPositionNormalTexture

Cool!

ahhhh JK's default texture... how I hate seeing you in strange corners of levels...

JED has a texture find/replace, you know

I honestly had to check the date on the OP. It's nice to know people still edit JK 13 years later, even if nothing comes out of it.

He's not editing JK.

i see dflt!

Moar snaps plz

Kiramin had a jkl renderer on the iphone and he used 6000 Block as his test map. It was fun. To look at.

Why would he pick such a crappy map sheesh

That's pretty cool.

you should stop by jkhub then

blah blah blah Someone make new levels....

I'll be able to render it on the xbox hehe... I'll post some more snaps when I get the textures loading... I loaded up my dark tome level 2 in it earlier lol

@Darth_Xasthur... I do currently have a sp project in the works

hey guys lets port JK to the xbox lolol

I was just waiting for someone to make that comment lol

I'm doing something similar, too. It's actually a really smart way to implement levels for an XNA game. Hidden surface removal and pathfinding are trivial in JK levels.

Yeah... I figured since I edit jk.. I could use it as a means to create 3d content in xna

I like this idea!

I was laughing, but there is some truth behind it.

I think it would be cool to port.. But I'm sure it will reach the same problems Sith2 had

Sith2 tried to re-use the same resources but this would have to be a new game from the ground up.

That would be cool... We could make jk4 since lucasarts is too gay to do it

lousy gays
