ModelViewer GUI mod

[Automan]

I've tried to improve the GUI of the modelviewer, altering the external XML file Resource.xrc loaded by the application.

Now it's more skinners oriented;)

 

-Rearranged the menu to reach some function faster

-Enabled the draw feature Solid+Wireframe

-Toolbar with large buttons and text labels

-Replaced the 2 Benchmark controls with Liveries and Folder browser buttons

-The Database Type list of the Liveried Dialog is now with wxLB_SORT style (sorted in alphabetical order)

-The windows Liveries and folder browser are now with wxSTAY_ON_TOP style, so you can leave them open and move the model without hiding them

 

 

Save a backup copy of the original file Resource.xrc located in this folder:

DRIVE_LETTER:\YOUR_DCS_INSTALL\Config\ModelViewer

Uncompress the zip attachment in the same folder and confirm the overwrite

 

Tested with built in ModelViewer 2.1.1, *maybe* it works with standalone version

Works well thanks Auto!

It could be really cool if reload model bug was fixed.

 

Reload Model function won't reload textures! I think it must be the most useful feature of the model viewer. :\

Yes, I agree, but sadly I can't do nothing to fix the core functions of ModelViewer.

I've tried one of the last stand-alone installers to see if this fault has been fixed, but I'm getting error about a missing animator.dll file.

We must only wait...
