4. Revision History

Version Date Changes

1.3.8 1999/7/19

Added rounding to coordinate value conversion of float -> short

(1.3.7b)

Generate ST value when FlipBook animation(non-compatible)

1.3.7a 1999/3/30

Modified ShapeAnimation of ST
Added the last frame at Shape Animation of Full Frame.

1.3.7 1/11/1999

When attempting to perform a color reduction with the CI format, the program is now capable of handling this even if 0 is assigned to the alpha value.

"obj_group" can be valid in any "obj" category.

When modifying a default light setting with version 1.3.0, the difference between "index" and "light" is now handled properly.

he drawing priority sequence is now fully compatible with n64prev Previewer and Quick Previewer.

The problem where having "-nullanim" without having an "anim" link in "obj" shut down the program is now fixed.

MAT_CC_NIFF_NONE is now handled properly in NIFF CC mode.

1.3.6 1998/12/21

Compatible with ST (texture co-ordinates) ShapeAnimation.

1.3.5 1998/10/19

Supports CI Texture

1.3.4 1998/10/9

Fixed the bug in reducing the vertex.

Added the process to reduce the output number of the vertex with the smooth shading without lighting.

1.3.3 1998/9/30 Principal Revisions

Supports camera animation.

Modified so that there is no difference in the output result between the SGI and the PC version of the software.

Reviewed Quick Start.

Reviewed the calculation of the vertex coordinates.

Fixed a bug where the ST value was not always accurate.

The pointer to the scene will not be output in the NDR_RESINFO when the scene is masked by -outmask.

Fixed a bug where shape animation by reflection mapping and flat shading did not occur even when the -strictflat option was attached.

Added -nullanim option.

Added the -nullanim option.

1.3.2 1998/8/25 Principal Revisions

Supports Quick Preview

Added a CI format texture color reduction function.nbsp;

Reduced the number of output vertices (Vtx).

ptimized the animation data (reduced the data).

Data with 3D objects that do not have "shape" can now be converted.

Changed messages to standard output in the Windows version.

The data was changed to become static.

The geomode of NDR_OBJ was changed to be output as a macro character string. This was done because the macro value was changed by F3DEX2.

1.3.1 1998/7/22

Fixed the problem of a conversion error when the number of shape nodes was greater than the number of mat nodes.

1.3.0 1998/7/15 Principal Revisions

Supports IA texture (4, 8, 16 bit).

When no directional light is set, the default parallel light source is now set only when the ambient is completely black.

Fixed a problem with gSPSetGeometryMode performing intermittently when there were several shapes.

1.2.6 1998/3/23 Registered on BBS and NTSC-ONLINE.
Principal Revisions

Added -vtxseg, -imgseg, and -clutseg options.

Added the -strictcidx option.

Since the conversion scale output to the header is reflected in the object translation value and the animation translation value, it was changed so it no longer output.

The Gfx and Vtx included in NDR_OBJ are now stored in the newly established NDR_SHAPE structure and output. The shape animation information is now also included in the NDR_SHAPE structure, as is the segment number output to the NDR_SHAPE header.

Because large changes were made to the output data class, the bit assignment of the switch "outmask" was changed.

To solve the problem with symbol names, the NDR_RESINFO structure was newly established, and now there is one output per file.

With the establishment of NDR_RESINFO, now only the NDR_RESINFO symbol is externally declared at conversion time.

Supports 4bit CI and 32bit RGBA texture.

Expanded so NIFF obj_group is passed to the NDR_OBJ structure.

gSP2Triangles are now used as much as possible for polygon output.

1.1.0 1997/12/24 Developer's Kit Second Release.
Principal Revisions

Added the options -noalignpad, -outobj, -outmask, -nogeomclr, -preview, -rotorder and fname

Fixed the method of evaluating material.

Fixed the problems that sometimes occurred when OBJ_RENDER_NIFF_TEX_EDGE was specified for obj_render_pri in the Obj area.

Fixed the problem with the Shape area's shape_type sometimes not being correctly reflected.

Fixed a problem of bad partitioning when placing textures that could not be held in TMEM.

It is now possible to share the GBI parts of objects whose materials are different.

Changed mat_color_type* and mat_alpha_type* TEX1 flag to total view.

Added a process for when mat_color_type* and mat_alpha_type* have the value MAT_CC_NIFF_NONE.

Fixed problems with the order of evaluation in the method for rotating in directions other than XYZ and YZX.

Vtx, Gfx, Bitmap and TLUT are now have segment address locations.
