[Tool] Extract Animation Arg from EDM files

uboats · March 1, 2016

When use existing edm model for mod test, we don't know the arg for each animated object.

Although clickabledata.lua can give the connector name and its arg, for many devices/gauges, the arg is not reachable via clickabledata.lua

Here I wrote a small app to solve this issue, and share it with the community.

Note, this can be used for guys who want to figure out the arg used by either external and cockpit models

ALSO Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable X86 is REQUIRED!

download

Feature:

1. Can load/extract multiple edm files
2. Create txt files including applied animation arg of the model
3. Can sort the content by either arg name or arg number
4. Can save the output beside either the edm or extractor
5. Can export connectors of corresponding animated obj

v1.6 fix a bug (if not checking connector box, never ends)

v1.5 export connectors of corresponding animated objects [checkbox - enable/disable]

v1.2 support old edm files (since old edm file does not contain obj name, so they will be named as "unnamedxx", where xx is count number

v1.1 add sort and save localition checkbox, fix a critical bug

v1.0 fixed bugs

Does this mean we can take off the doors on our choppers?:)

BST would need to make one of the animation states in the .edm be "invisible" instead of just fully open.

Great tool!

Unfortunately it does not work with the Harrier/Mirage. Any ideas?

Excellent tool. Worked for AJS37.

Hi uboats, with DCS 2.5 lot of EDM models get updated and your tool return 0 connectors analyzing them: even the AJS37 model now record 0 args

I hope you can fix it, really a useful app ;)
