Warpgate v0.5.0pre2 Windows Binaries

This pre-release features a preview of the Warpgate GUI. The GUI allows you to generate, import, and view namelists and preview and export models. This is a very early pre-release and there are still many bugs left to fix.

Bugfixes/Additions in v0.5.0pre2

• Added autogenerated shaders that should at least make something show up in the viewport when previewing an item
• Fix crash caused by models with separate material files trying to load the model as a material

Known bugs

• Models will become corrupted in the preview panel after they are exported, or if another model is removed

Planned features

• Adding the remaining shaders to view all model types
• Skeleton loading and previewing
• Animation loading and previewing
• Attaching animations to skeletons
• Attaching skeletons to models

Viewport controls

• Rotate: Middle mouse click and drag
• Pan: Shift + Middle mouse drag
• Zoom: Scroll wheel

Loading and Exporting a model

1. Load a namelist (File -> Import Namelist... -> Select a text file containing PS2 asset names, one per line)
   • If you do not have a namelist, generate one. (File -> Generate Namelist... -> Select save location) This will take a bit of time depending on your computer.
2. Find a model to preview in the namelist panel and double click it. (Armor_Common_Male_HeavyAssault_Battleship.adr is one of the first models that will preview correctly currently)
3. In the Models panel, right click the model and select Export. (Even models that don't preview can be exported)
4. Choose a location to save the exported glTF file and click Export on the file dialog.
5. You should now be able to load the exported model in a glTF viewer of your choice (Blender is what I recommend)

This pre-release provides prebuilt binaries for Windows for warpgate.exe, a tool that allows you to extract assets from Planetside 2 game files. By default these use PTS files located at C:\Users\Public\Daybreak Game Company\Installed Games\PlanetSide 2 Test\Resources\Assets.

This is a very much "it works on my machine" sort of release. If you experience weirdness it could be due to missing libraries or PS2 being located in a weird place.
