AssetPackBrowser: index of packs is not available #570
Comments
I'm afraid those are long gone. It was a feature that never really took off. Should we remove any trace of it? @tonihele @MeFisto94 ? |
I can't really judge does anyone use it or what it even is. I think you can even create an asset pack project type in the SDK. So all possible to use it.. locally? It would be great if @normen maybe gets resurrected from his deep slumber to explain the feature :D But I suspect you assessment is correct. Maybe some sort of asset store thingie? |
Yeah, the old web page allowed to browse online "asset packs" to use in the engine, I still have the backend PHP code but its based on Wordpress. You can still create asset packs yourself locally though to add prepared assets to different games, its all documented in the SDK F1 help (and the old wiki which the help was grabbed from). |
If it is super easy to save this patient... we could do it and add some sort of support to https://library.jmonkeyengine.org/ for asset packs...? But if we are afraid of its usability and maintenance burden, then we should just amputate this feature. |
We could keep the local function and just remove the web links. If people want to share them, they can use library.jmonkeyengine.org. I don't think we need to do any special support for it. Users can download them like with any asset and place them where they need. |
There were some asset packs that were only consumable with that concept? Worldforge stuff? Do i remember correctly? |
@riccardobl Do you think it would be possible to use 'library' to display this? Is it possible to use the api to get all submissions of a certain type (I'm not sure there is an 'asset pack' type as of now). |
I packed WorldForge in an AssetPack and made it available through that online asset pack thingy. If I remember right I actually made it so that when you create a new asset pack in the SDK and pass the world forge folder it will recognize it and automatically set up the asset pack so that it works properly with the WF assets (or was it a separate template for WF?). |
Sorry for the late reply, i missed the ping somehow. Eg. searching by #vehicle
Getting the entry data:
full api dock here api here: https://library.jmonkeyengine.org/apidoc You can specify a download link from the ui and api that will be returned in the "download" field of the response when available, this one could be used by the sdk to pull the pack |
The asset packs browser reports an IOException when trying to access the online asset packs:
(The URL https://jmonkeyengine.org/assetpacks/list.php indeed yields an HTTP 404.)
