# megaglest\_g3dviewer(6)

G3D Model editor for the popular 3D realtime strategy game

## NAME

Using - G3D Model editor for the popular 3D realtime strategy game

## DESCRIPTION

Using wxWidgets version \[3.2.5.0\]

megaglest\_g3dviewer v3.13.0, \[Using wxWidgets 3.2.5\] usage:

megaglest\_g3dviewer \[G3D FILE\]

Displays glest 3D-models and unit/projectile/splash particle systems. rotate with left mouse button, zoom with right mouse button or mousewheel. Use ctrl to load more than one particle system. Press R to restart particles, this also reloads all files if they are changed.

optionally you may use any of the following: Parameter:                      Description: **----------------------**          **------------** **--help**                          displays this help text. **--load-unit**=*x*

- Auto load the unit / skill information specified

  in path/filename x Where x is a g3d filename to load separated with a comma and one or more skill names to try loading: example:

-

  megaglest\_g3dviewer **--load-unit**=*techs*/megapack/factions/tech/units/battle\_machine,attack\_skill,stop\_skill

**--load-model**=*x*                  Auto load the model specified in path/filename x

- Where x is a g3d filename to load:

  example:

-

  megaglest\_g3dviewer **--load-model**=*techs*/megapack/factions/tech/units/battle\_machine/models/battle\_machine\_dying.g3d

**--load-model-animation-value**=*x*  Animation value when loading a model

- Where x is a decimal value from **-1**.0 to 1.0:

  example:

-

  megaglest\_g3dviewer **--load-model-animation-value**=*0*.5

**--auto-screenshot**=*x*

- Automatically takes a screenshot of the items you

  are loading. Where x is a comma-delimited list of one or more

- of the optional settings:

- Particle loop value when loading one or more

  particles Where x is an integer value from 1 to particle count: example:

-

  megaglest\_g3dviewer **--load-particle-loop-value**=*25*

**--zoom-value**=*x*                  Zoom value when loading a model

- Where x is a decimal value from 0.1 to 10.0:

  example:

-

  megaglest\_g3dviewer **--zoom-value**=*4*.2
