🌸 NAME 🌸

Using — G3D Model editor for the popular 3D realtime strategy game 🎮✨

(section 6, the games one, in case the (6) in the corner was doing a little mystery 💅)

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so before anything else, bestie: this whole thing is running on Using wxWidgets version [3.2.9.0]. that's the vibe. 💖

and here's the usage, exactly as it hits you:

megaglest_g3dviewer v3.13.0, [Using wxWidgets 3.2.9] usage:

megaglest_g3dviewer [G3D FILE]

yep, megaglest_g3dviewer and then optionally a [G3D FILE]. that's the whole synopsis. slay.

what it does: it Displays glest 3D-models and unit/projectile/splash particle systems. 🦋

how to move it around (no joystick, we raw-dogging the mouse):

• rotate → left mouse button 🖱️
• zoom → right mouse button or the mousewheel
• hold ctrl → load more than one particle system 💅
• press R → restart particles, and it ALSO reloads all files if they are changed. one key, two jobs, main character energy 🔥

then, optionally, you may use any of the following:

optionally you may use any of the following: Parameter:
Description: ----------------------          ------------

✨ the parameters, all of them, no skips ✨

• --help — displays this help text. that's her. that's the whole function. 🙈

megaglest_g3dviewer --zoom-value=4.2

• --rotate-x-value=x — X Coordinate Rotation value when loading a model. Where x is a decimal value from -10.0 to 10.0. example:

megaglest_g3dviewer --rotate-x-value=2.2

• --rotate-y-value=x — Y Coordinate Rotation value when loading a model. Where x is a decimal value from -10.0 to 10.0. example:

megaglest_g3dviewer --rotate-y-value=2.2

• --screenshot-format=x — Specify which image format to use for screenshots. Where x is one of the following supported formats: png, jpg, tga, bmp

⭐ NOTE: png is the default (and supports transparency)

example:

megaglest_g3dviewer --screenshot-format=jpg

💀 and then. this. 💀

Invalid argument: --version

like... there is no --version for you, bestie. it said Invalid argument and simply kept going. 😭

and THEN — and i am not even playing — it dumps the ENTIRE usage over again, top to bottom, same thing, like it's proving a point. here it is, all of it, because we don't gatekeep:

and that's the page, bestie. ✨ no cap, we got the whole thing down to the last resize-800x600. go load a model, hold ctrl, press R when it changes, and screenshot it in png because transparency is the moment. 🫶
