Dawn of Light

so I made a model viewer a few weeks back. Seeing as the dol model showroom has been down for quite some time now, I thought I would post a link here. I've also added inventory item pictures. There is also a patch note archive with all the notes in one page so you can search a keyword across all patch notes (be careful though as its over 40k lines long )

Nice ! was not remembering Showroom was no longer working huhu
/hug

Perhaps interesting to replace Showroom ? Dunno why it is no longer working, was a redirection to Merec website ? Or lost during SF migration ?

wayback machine website has its last image of it back in Feb 2018. Not sure what happened to it

showroom ended same time as etaew website went down.

Ah effectively, this make sense.

But thank you ontheDOL for your work on the new showroom your work is great.

now if i can figure out how they made those nice pics i would add some of the new models

#edit ok i think i figured it out heh

I used imagemagick and autoit API iirc, should still have this, if you want.

was that just to batch crop the images after you extracted the picture from the .nif? (nifskope is the only thing i can really find to view / capture .jpg from the .nif files)

Nope i didn't open 3D models, but i put them on uniform background, create a picture mask, change the model, extract the mask from the model picture (so it gave only model w/o background), then applyed that image to a custom background and applying the watermark (+ putting info into a database for search).
All this by taking screenshoot with autoit API as remote control (sending / commands to DAoC window).
Major issue is the scale of the model (tiny insects are big where big drakes are huge), and models having similar color than my background (nearly full white).

Hmm would it maybe an idea to define 5 backgrounds and add for users a panel/button to switch backgrounds?
(i mean like save with blank background and just load one as default and just let players switch background with css/html code? sorry just learning website stuff so not sure how to say (i know html is not the thing to pick)
And maybe possible (btw im just shooting some ideas can be totally crap but maybe helpful) to extract / use the codes of some image programs that have the ability to adjust picture to size. I mean there are things like winrar algorythm you can find on web maybe such a thing exist for that too?
