Scene loading Topic is solved

[slapin]

Hi, all!
Is it possible to interfere with DotScene loader/saver to support some new userData or other stuff?

You mean without recompiling OGRE?

In my case I created a LevelLoader that is basically a custom DotScene.cpp so I can modify it.

I mean as plugin i.e. to not copy all the code but implement my code just for additional features.
Also if you did your own scene loader how do you register it with node system? The biggest annoyance to me with current system is not knowing which nodes were loading with scene and having to iterate over children to guess...
I think if there was a callback for each loaded node that would be sufficient for me to not need any custom scene loaders...

Also as I see DotScene loader does not support multiple same scenes loading, so I guess I need my own loader anyway.
The problem is how to get it done in less stressful way...

Implemented custom scene loader, it was not as bad as I thought... Now I can mark stuff directly in Blender and spawn various effects without need for
lots of hacky manual labor. Even integrated it into my event system and Lua scripting... Good!

Thanks a lot for advice!

You can also use Ogre::Any to store metadata in the Nodes:

Yes, I use exactly that.
