[Once-media] Test program for Cal3D models

[Manuel A. F. M. <ma...@us...>]

Hi there,

After a while with people doing the models not being able to see them
(since they can't use the servers until a new release), I thought that
we needed to do something similar to what Cirilo proposed, but since
we're too busy to modify the celtst program I just tried a quick
workaround with the data and propfan made the windows package, and so
artists can test the models with the world that comes with CEL, it's
better than nothing :) (and it's even better in some things compared to
the Once binary, in example with the camera modes you can see your model
closer).

(By the way, we can provide a binary for GNU/Linux too, but I think that
all of our artist are using Windows at the moment).

So here it is:

http://mtpluto.shakataganai.com/~mafm/celcs.zip

To run it should be enough to execute the RUNME.bat file, and to test a
particular model you have to copy the right cal3d file over cally.cal3d
file, in example:

cel/data/dwarf_m/dwarf_m.cal3d -> cel/data/cally.cal3d

and then replace the files in cel/data/dwarf_m/ (the same for other
models) with the new ones exported from your favorite 3D tool. Is
everything clear?

There's also a .cal3d file inside the cel/data/cally/ directory, so you
can put it again in cel/data/ to have the original cally.

If it runs fine we could put some instructions in the wiki, this doesn't
need to be updated often so should work for a lot of time. And if it
gives problems let us know :)
