generate_snd

Scans the provided .obj file for ATTR_manip_* manipulator commands and generate a series of sound attachments which can be piped into a new file.

Requirements

• NodeJS > 6.x
• npm or Yarn

Installation

1. Clone the repo and run npm install or yarn install.
2. Create an events.json file with your events using this format:

{
  "BUTTON": "/model/mymodel/switches/button",
  "ROTARY_SMALL": "/model/mymodel/switches/rotary1",
  "ROTARY_MEDIUM": "/model/mymodel/switches/rotary2",
  "ROTARY_LARGE": "/model/mymodel/switches/rotary3",
  "SWITCH": "/model/mymodel/switches/switch"
}

Obviously replacing the events names with your own. An example events.json.example file is included that you can use as a starting point. Rename it as events.json and edit at will.

Usage

./generate_snd.js [options] <path/to/input.obj> > <path/to/output.snd>

• input.obj aircraft cockpit file.
• output.snd .snd compatible format which you can include into your own definition.
• options:
  • -i, --ignorelines: Pass a comma-separated list of line numbers to ignore from the cockpit file.

Alternatively, you can install the tool globally, with npm install -g on the project directory. Then you could open the shell on any directory and directly execute:

generate_snd path/to/input.obj > path/to/output.snd

Notes

Currently, manipulator support is as follows:

• ATTR_manip_command: YES
• ATTR_manip_command_axis: NO
• ATTR_manip_push: YES
• ATTR_manip_toggle: YES
• ATTR_manip_delta: YES
• ATTR_manip_wrap: YES
• ATTR_manip_wheel: NO (*)
• ATTR_manip_command_knob: NO
• ATTR_manip_switch_up_down: NO
• ATTR_manip_switch_left_right: NO
• ATTR_manip_axis_knob: NO
• ATTR_manip_axis_switch_up_down: NO
• ATTR_manip_axis_switch_left_right: NO

(*) Requires knowledge of the previous command

As you can see, I implemented just the manipulators I needed for the project I had at hand, but feel free to collaborate with more implementations and submit your pull request.
