Member Enumeration Documentation

enum NodeMapType

Enum for the type of node mapping to due when creating a map file using CreateMapFile.

See also

ILoadSaveAnimation::CreateMapFile eMatchExactName means that the nodes names need to match up exactly to map, eMatchClosestName specifies that the closest names will map, eMatchHierarchy specifies that the nodes will try to match by hierarchy.

eMatchExactName
eMatchClosestName
eMatchHierarchy

{ eMatchExactName=0, eMatchClosestName=1,eMatchHierarchy=2};

enum SaveFlags

Enum for different flags to pass in when calling ILoadSaveAnimation::SaveAnimation and ILoadSaveAnimation10::SetUpAnimsForSaveExt.

If eAnimatedTracks is set, then a track needs to be animated. If eIncludeConstraints is set, and if eAnimatedTracks is set, constraints will also be considered to be animated. If eKeyable is set, then keyable tracks will be saved if eSaveSeg is set, then a segment of time will be saved. if eSegPerFrame is set then a key per frame will be saved over a saved segment.

Enumerator

                   {eAnimatedTracks = 0x1, eIncludeConstraints = 0x2, eKeyableTracks = 0x4,eSaveSeg = 0x8, 
        eSegPerFrame = 0x10};

enum LoadFlags

Enum for different flags to pass in when calling ILoadSaveAnimation::LoadAnimation and ILoadSaveAnimation10::SetUpAnimsForLoadExt.

If eRelative is set, then nodes who are children of the scene root will keep their original position and orientation and the animation will be loaded relatively to that, otherwise the animation will be loaded in absolutely. If eInsert is set, then the animation will be inserted at the specified time and the existing animation will be moved over, otherwise the animation will replaced the existing animation at that time. If eStripLayers is set, then the active layer name will be stripped out from the current node controllers that have layers. If eIncludePB2s is set then we will include ParamBlock2 tracks when loading into the animation. Note that the eIncludePB2s flags is currently only used by ILoadSaveAnimation10::SetUpAnimsForLoadExt

enum MapFlags

Enum for different flags to pass in when calling ILoadSaveAnimation::CreateMapFile and ILoadSaveAnimation10::SetUpAnimsForMapExt.

If eMapControllerExactName is set then the controllers will try to be matched based upon their exact names, otherwise, they will try to match off of their subanim order. If eMapControllerType is set then the controller need to be the same of the same class, otherwise they won't map. If eStripLayersInMap is set, then the active layer name will be removed from the current node controllers that have layers.

virtual BOOL CreateMapFileNodeAnims ( const MCHAR *  filename, MaxSDK::Array< NodeAndAnims > &  nodeAnims, const MCHAR *  incomingAnimationFile, Tab< MSTR * > &  userAttributes, Tab< MSTR * > &  userValues, Tab< LoadSaveRetargetData > &  retargetData, int  nodeMapType, DWORD  mapFlag  ) const

pure virtual

Create a map file based upon nodeAnim tracks to map to, the animation file that will be loaded, and the specific mapping protocols.

Parameters

[in]	filename	The file to save the map file to.
[in]	nodeAnims	The nodeAnim list whose animation you would like to map. Should have been created via SetUpAnimsForMap.

ILoadSaveAnimation::SetUpAnimsForMap

Parameters

[in]	incomingAnimationFile	The file from which to map from. The controllers in this file will map to the controllers of the current nodes.
[in]	userAttributes	A Tab of strings that specify the names of the user attributes to be saved out. The values of these attributes are found in the next parameter. Thus the userAttributes Tab and the userValues Tab need to be the same size or the function will return FALSE.
[in]	userValues	A Tab of strings that specify the names of the user values to be saved out. Each user value corresponds to a user attribute that's passed in the previous parameter.
[in]	retargetData	A Tab of LoadSaveRetargetData values that specify how specific nodes that get mapped should be retargetted.
[in]	nodeMapType	The type of node mapping to perform. If the value is eMatchExactName, the nodes will map if the nodes have the same exact name. If the value is eMatchClosestName, the nodes will match based off of which nodes have the closest names. If the value is eMatchHierarchy, the nodes will try to match by matching their hierarchies.
[in]	mapFlag	Determines how the controller mapping will occur once the nodes are mapped. The possible values of the mapFlag are found in the MapFlags enum. The possible vales are: eMapControllerExactName, if set the controllers of the mapped nodes will try to map to each other by matching their names exactly, if not set the controllers will map by their subanim ordering. eMapControllerType, if set, the controllers will check to see if they have the same exact type,(ClassID and SuperClassID), otherwise they won't map, if not set, then the controllers only need to be have the same SuperClassID.

Returns

TRUE if a map file gets created, otherwise FALSE

virtual BOOL GetUserAttributes ( const MCHAR *  filename, Tab< MSTR * > &  userAttributes, Tab< MSTR * > &  userValues  ) const

pure virtual

Get the user attributes that are present out of the corresponding animation or map file.

Parameters

[in]	filename	The name of the animation or map file that you are getting user attributes from.
[out]	userAttributes	A Tab of MSTR strings of the user defined attributes found in the file. There is a one to one correspondence between the number of attributes and number of values in the file. The callee of this function is responsible for deleting the valid MSTR * pointers.
[out]	userValues	A Tab of MSTR strings of the user defined values found in the file. There is one string value for each attribute. The caller of this function is responsible for deleting the valid MSTR * pointers

Returns

TRUE if operation was successful, FALSE if otherwise.

Returns

The animation file extension (xaf).

virtual const MCHAR* GetAnimMapFileExtension ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the extension used for the animation map files.

Returns

The animation map file extension (xmm).

virtual const MCHAR* GetAnimFileDirectory ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the current directory for finding animation files.

Returns

The animation file directory

virtual void GetAnimFileDirectories ( Tab< MSTR * > &  animFileDirectories ) const

pure virtual

Get all of the anim file directories in the load/save UI.

Parameters

[out]

animFileDirectories

A Tab of MSTR strings containing all of recently used directories. The caller of this function is responsible for deleting the valid MSTR * pointers.

pure virtual

Get all of the recently used map files in the load/save UI.

Parameters

[out]

mapFiles

A Tab of MSTR strings containing all of recently used map files. The caller of this function is responsible for deleting the valid MSTR * pointers.

virtual const MCHAR* GetAnimMapFile ( ) const

pure virtual

Get the current map file.

Returns

The name of the current animation map file being used in the load/save UI.

virtual void SetAnimFileDirectory ( const MCHAR *  directory )

pure virtual

pure virtual

Sets up the anim list to be used for saving out an xml animation file.

Parameters

[in]	nodeTab	Nodes you want to save out
[in]	animatedTracks	If TRUE will only included animated tracks in the list,
[in]	includeConstraints	If animatedTracks is TRUE and this is TRUE, constraints will be considered to be animated and thus also in the list.
[in]	keyable	If TRUE will only include keyable tracks in the list.
[out]	nodeAnims	The returned list of nodes and their anim tracks based upon the flags passed into the function.
