I have been working on a new POF editor to suport the SCP, it includes suport for glow points as well as every other normal data type (other than INSG, don't use it in things with insignias)
remember this is pre-Alpha, don't use it on anything important to you
[url=http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/blackwater/aurora_and_sorce.zip]Aurora and source[/url]
[url=http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/blackwater/aurora.zip]just relese Aurora[/url]
I figured you all would like to know, seeing as TBP as well as all mods have a lot to potentualy gain from the SCP.

remember it is still pre alpha, it does have bugs.

did you base this off the POF Constructor Suite code?

some bits, it's mostly mine, but some of the chunck size calculations and the early Vstring class were based off PCS, I think i load the files in a similar manner as you did (filling a char buffer and mem-copying parts of it), but my renderer is DX based and the architexture of the program is totaly different (you have a nice hand drawen message pump I used a simple app wizard thingy as the base and pass a pointer to each page to directly edit the data in the currently loaded POF), but when ever I was haveing trouble with something I looked through the FS source and PCS to try and find a way to figure a way out, though I tryed to do it as much on my own as posable (if you look in the source you'll see lots of lazy things like staticly sized arrays) but I'm sure you'll find a few things that are similar,
PCS is still the greatest POF BSP genorator ever made, and i have no intention of atempting a converter any time soon.

I fixed a few bugs and boosted the perfomence of the renderer
also made texture loading a bit faster and safer

good, the code is very well organized - if you want to integrate PCS's POF Generation code be my guest -- normally im reluctant to hand over the "mantle of power" but you're a very capable programmer and I need to move on to other things

I just made an update with new auto-path feature, if you have all you're turrets and subsystems and docks done it can fill out all paths with a fairly close to good position for them.

I am probly going to change the mose controle for moveing things, what I have now is too flaky
