Material Editor Toolbar

Post by clintonman »

This toolbar is for working with D3D material nodes. It's faster and more convenient than using the libraries.
Right now it only includes items from the original tS component buttons. The plan is to add more buttons if needed or maybe convert it to a popup style toolbar.

Copy the attached in to the Toolbar Prototypes Encapsulator
Copy the following code into a command node, select the MaterialNodeToolbar, 1 and run the command

Code: Select all

toolbar = Node.Value(Node.FirstSelected(), "Prototype");
WindowsManager.OpenToolbarFromPrototype(toolbar, 200, 400, 0,0);

New update for the Unofficial Updates or the popup toolbars from my website.
This is a test installer, so to get back to normal do a context reset to remove all changes.

New Shaders toolbar


Made the toolbar into a popup toolbar and added a new Shaders toolbar. The previous version always loaded the node to the same location.

Yellow circle is location of mouse when the shortcut key is pressed.

Make a selection from the toolbar.

New node added at the original location.

After running the installer shortcut keys need to be setup. I used space and ctrl+space shortcuts for my tests

Steps for non-UU tS with popups installed:
Press the button to open the Popup Toolbar
ctrl + RMB to setup a shortcut key for "DX Components Toolbar" button and "DX Shaders Toolbar" button

I couldn't find the popup toolbars button in the UU so,

Steps for UU trueSpace are:
Open the Toolbar Manager - green toolbox icon
Load from Prototype
Open the "PopupButtonsToolbar"
Ctrl drag out the "DX Components Toolbar" button
Ctrl drag out "DX Shaders Toolbar" button
ctrl + RMB to setup a shortcut key for each of them

The extra ctrl drag out is needed (I guess) because the buttons or toolbar is setup to only work in the 3D view so it makes only 3D view shortcuts.

If you don't have the UU installed then the popups can be downloaded from here:

This path requires about 3 or 4 prerequisite installs.
