README.md

gameplay-encoder

Command-line tool for encoding games assets like true-type fonts and 3D scene files into a simple binary-based bundle file format for the gameplay 3D game framework runtime.

TrueType Font Support

TrueType Fonts conversion is enabled/built-in by default into gameplay-encoder via freetype 2 library.

COLLADA Scene Support

COLLADA is enabled/built-in by default into gameplay-encoder via COLLADA-DOM library. Most major 3D DCC tools support the export of COLLADA 1.4. We also recommend you download and use OpenCOLADA (http://opencollada.org/) for Autodesk Maya and 3DS Max.

FBX Scene Support

FBX support can easily be enabled in gameplay-encoder but requires an additional installation of Autodesk FBX SDK. (http://www.autodesk.com/fbx). You must then rebuild gameplay-encoder with the follow platform/tooling instructions:

Building FBX Support on Windows 7 using Visual Studio 2010

  • Download and install the FBX SDK for Window VS2010. (http://www.autodesk.com/fbx)
  • Edit the project properties of "gameplay-encoder"
  • Add Preprocessor Definition "USE_FBX" (C++/Preprocessor)
  • Add the FBX SDK include directory to Additional Include Directories (C++/General)
    • Example: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/FBX/FbxSdk/2013.1/include
  • Add the FBX lib directory to the Additional Library Directories (Linker/General)
    • Example: C:/Program Files/Autodesk/FBX/FbxSdk/2013.1/lib/vs2010/x86
  • Add "fbxsdk-2013.1-mdd.lib" and "wininet.lib" to the Additional Dependencies (Linker/Input)
    • Example: fbxsdk-2013.1-mdd.lib;wininet.lib
  • Add a post build event to copy the DLL (Build Events/Post-Build Event)
    • Example: copy /Y "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\FBX\FbxSdk\2013.1\lib\vs2010\x86\fbxsdk-2013.1d.dll" "$(TargetDir)"
  • Build gameplay-encoder

Building FBX Support on Mac OS X using XCode 4.3.2+

  • Download and install the FBX SDK for Mac OS X (http://www.autodesk.com/fbx)
  • Edit the project properties of target "gameplay-encoder".
  • Add Preprocessor Macro "USE_FBX" to both Debug/Release sections. (Build Settings)
  • Add the FBX include directory to Header Search Paths: (Build Settings)
    • Example: /Applications/Autodesk/FBXSDK20131/include
  • Add the FBX library and dependency Library/Frameworks: (Build Phases -> Link Binary with Libraries)
    • Example: /Applications/Autodesk/FBXSDK20131/lib/gcc4/ub/libfbxsdk-2013.1-static.a (Add Other)
    • Example: libiconv.dylib, Cocoa.framework, SystemConfiguration.framework
  • Build gameplay-encoder

Bundle File Format

The gameplay bundle file format is well defined in the gameplay-encoder/gameplay-bundle.txt file.

Bundle File Loading

Bundle files can easily be loaded using the gameplay/Bundle.h which is part of the gameplay runtime framework.
