Meshbuilder will be available in the Content Pipeline assembly, so you need to reference that.

Kwyrky · January 23, 2017, 6:02pm

Do I have to run

$ git submodule update --init

again?

Jjagg · January 23, 2017, 6:03pm

You only have to do --init once. Then you should do git submodule update if git status says your submodules are dirty

Kwyrky · January 23, 2017, 6:05pm

Got this. So nothing to do then? Just open the solution?

On branch develop
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/develop'.
nothing to commit, working directory clean

How to setup my project to use the source version of MonoGame? Do I have to uninstall MonoGame?

Jjagg · January 23, 2017, 6:09pm

If you want to use the pipeline tool for this it should be updated, so you’d have to install the develop version. Alternatively you can run the pipeline tool from source. Or if you didn’t write this as a content pipeline extension you can reference the source projects or the dll’s you built from them

The solution builds without problems. Trying to start the MGCB project gives me exceptions:

Visual studio should pull these pdb files automatically, maybe something got messed up in your settings. What version of visual studio are you running?

Looks like 2015. Try the following:
“To use the Microsoft symbol servers, choose Options and Settings on the Debug menu and then choose Symbols. Select Microsoft Symbol Servers.”

A small window popped up where it said it is loading the symbols. It is stil not working though. I had “Just my code” enabled, which was output in the log. So I deactivated “Just my code” also. Now I get this log:

I was trying to start the wrong project. It works now, I can start the pipeline tool using the latest source of MonoGame.

@Jjagg
I have an issue now with the method

public int CreateVertexChannel<T>(string usage) where T : struct

in line 108 of MeshBuilder.cs.

With XNA it worked like this. Any ideas?

Jjagg · January 26, 2017, 9:54pm

Oops, that’s a change I forgot to revert. I made VertexChannels only accept structs, but realized XNA didn’t and reverted. Forgot this occurence apparently. I don’t get why you can pass reference types as vertex types though…

EDIT: The BoneWeightCollection gets converted somehow, but I think this might be working in MonoGame. If you have the source, you can just go to the CreateVertexChannel function and remove the : struct after it. Let me know if that works. If it does I’ll set up a PR to get rid of the type constraint

Kwyrky · January 27, 2017, 8:55am

I hope I have some time later after work to test it

Kwyrky · January 27, 2017, 3:12pm

Hmm thought about it now. I don’t understand how it can convert it to a value type. It has to get the size for the VertexChannel from somewhere

I will let you know if it works. I could also try to setup the PR. Don’t know how to do this though

Jjagg · January 27, 2017, 3:17pm

BoneWeightCollection is a Collection of BoneWeight and BoneWeight is a value type, so maybe some assumptions as to the layout of the Collection are made to convert. I said this might be working in MG because we actually use a BoneWeightCollection in a vertex channel when loading models with assimp. If it does not work however we have found a huge bug in our model loading code That might explain some of the trouble people are having importing models.

That would be nice! I can step you through it if you want

I’m home in about one and a half hours depending on traffic. Then I will have a little time window of one hour to try this out before I have to leave again. Don’t know when I’ll be back home, I think at night. I thinking about a day off to work on MonoGame projects

Kwyrky · January 27, 2017, 5:25pm

Changed the line and everything compiled just fine. Now I tried to rebuild all content, to make it compatible with the latest MonoGame source version. I was getting several “Bad tangent!” popups but all content got compiled and nothing was marked as failed.

So far so good. I looked up the old XNA project, what the setup for importer and processor was for the hellknight model. It was set to “MD5Importer” and “MD5Process”. Now after setting up the reference to the MD5ContentPipeline project inside the pipeline tool I can only find the “MD5Process” entry for the model processor. I think these images explain it very good.

Also another issue is, that I opened up the MGCB file from my “EngineMG” project and some content appears at a wrong level. By level I mean directory level. I have directories for shaders, textures and so on. Also I think it should be explained good by an image what I mean (also notive the path visible in the image).

I’m already late so I cannot try to just readd all content to a new MGCB file… Maybe then it works?!

Jjagg · January 27, 2017, 5:35pm

Hmm, I don’t know why the importer wouldn’t show up… When you have time to look at this again can you double check if the same syntax is used as the built in importers?

I haven’t seen the treeview issue before either, but it’s probably not an issue when building.

Kwyrky · January 27, 2017, 11:31pm

What I can say now after some more tests is that if I create a new MGCB with the MonoGame pipeline tool from the latest source and add all folders (add existing folder for the five top level folders) all works as it should. So the new pipeline tool has some problems reading the old MGCB file.

Also the NullPointerException in CellBase.cs occured because I did not specify a string like so:

[ContentProcessor(DisplayName = "MD5Mesh Processor")]

Now that I added this to both the importer and processor, they show up in the pipeline tool and I can select the hellknight.md5mesh file without NullPointerException.

A KeyNotFoundException is thrown when I try to build the hellknight.md5mesh file:

Crap, that’s definitely a bug in the implementation Are you willing to share the project so I can debug this?

EDIT: Hold on, I think I might now what I’m doing wrong. I’m gonna try and write a test that catches this and get a fix in.

Jjagg · January 28, 2017, 1:07am

I now realize I made some big mistakes when implementing this I’ll see if I can get this fixed.
EDIT: It’s not as bad as I initially thought I think this is actually not that hard to fix!
EDITEDIT: I set up a PR with my fixed, the build bots are having some issues currently, so the only way to try it is from source if you’re up for that @Kwyrky. PR is at https://github.com/MonoGame/MonoGame/pull/5444
