I've been using an earlier version of this utility and didn't realize what I was missing out on. This is an absolute must-have for addon developers. Well done!


Review by black dog
Pros: Easy to use
Cons: None
Review:
A great little mesh viewing tool with some mesh manipulating and converting capabilities. I have only just started playing with meshes, and I think that as I become more knowledgeable I will be able to appreciate the available functions more. I recommend Meshviewer to anybody like me who is starting out in their interest in development. Combine this program with a few others and some Orbiter development tutorials and you're on your way. Well done AR81, and thanks for all the good work you have done with this program and also your previous addons and tutorials.

or do a search for the location of comctl32.ocx then do a regsvr32 [path to file]

It does not work for me, and I'm using 64-bit Windows 7. Is there any other way I can do this?

 

[Capt_hensley]

Maybe I have a unique problem, I want to pre-view meshes (textureized) one after the other without loading every single .msh file independantly. I want to see them in my windows explorer preview pane in 2 dimensions. I don't want to open a particular utility just so I can view one file. I have to go through hundreds of mesh files, quickly, so I can determine for myself which file set I want to use.

Anybody got a clue what I should use?

Signed a very frustrated Capt Hensley.

PS I've dowloaded and tried to use several mesh viewers in XP-64, and Win7-64 with little to no success. I'm open to a professional opinion.

Are you proficient in any scripting languages?

If sh you could figure out a way to generate a preview image associated with each filename and write a script to automate the process.

No, my programming days are over, I have come over to the dark side of users, I'm trying to take advantage other geniuses. You know how it goes when you get old and lazy. Well I'm old and lazy. Besides I'm very new to Orbiter, and very excited that a great sim like this exists. But maybe I have unrealistic asperations. I thought maybe someone else might be having the same difficulty.

Change your comma "," symbol to a dot "." (Control panel).

How do I do this? I have the same problem as nasafreak.

I run 64bit Win7 and it seems to run fine.

As you have Windows XP, this will look like this, but in your system's language:

1. Go to the Control panel and open Regional and Language options
   
   
   
2. Click on the button to "Customize..." regional settings.
   
   
   
3. Change the decimal symbol to dot/period.
   
   
   
4. Click "OK", "OK", and you'll have "." instead of "," as a decimal separator.

 

[diogom]

Thanks a lot, that solved the problem.

 

[Urwumpe]

I still think it would have been wiser reading the files in binary mode so the automatic use of locales does not take place.

 

[MaverickSawyer]

Okay, I can't get the darn .dll installed. The installer isn't working at all.

 

[garyw]

which 'darn dll' - the installer worked fine for me.

Details really do help us to help you.

 

[MaverickSawyer]

Sorry, I jumped to the IRC and I'm getting help there. It was the MSVBVM50.dll...
Now installed!

 

[MaverickSawyer]

Still having trouble with getting MSVBM50.dll to talk to the Mesh Wizard 1.9d program. Where do I put the MSVBM50.dll so that Mesh Wizard can find it?

 

[N_Molson]

If you are using XP, drop it into System32, that should make it. Maybe you have to register it in the registry (search for the use of RegSrv command on the Web).

And give an AV scan to those kind of system files once downloaded, it can be a good idea.

 

[MaverickSawyer]

Nope, Win 7 (may it rot in hell forever)

 

[orb]

You can put it anywhere in filesystem, where 32-bit applications have direct access, as registering it will add the full path to search it.

If you want it to be put where an installer would put it, then in 32-bit Windows put it in System32, and in 64-bit Windows in SysWoW64.

In either of them you need to use regsvr32 command to register it.

 

[Izack]

Had the same problem as maverick and fixed it - now it's saying "Component COMCTL32.OCX no correctly registered: file is missing or invalid." The file in question is sitting in the same directory as meshwizard executable. :shrug:

 

[garyw]

Putting the file in the directory is not enough. It has to be registered as well.

Thats done from the command line, in the directory where the file is.

type in regsvr32 COMCTL32.OCX

 

[Izack]

Didn't think that would be necessary seeing as the file is shipped with the utility.

Will try that ASAP.
