Hahaha nice I fell for it, went to look it up in the source


Another dev update:



- Software can now take data off your clipboard and store it in the Phantom Node Link library, tied to a scatter object
- The data can also be copied or deleted
- As you can see in the pic, I've expanded the system for feedback to you (the user)
- There are various checks in place that try to detect whether your data is valid. I'm curious to see whether you guys can break it... It can detect a broken XML structure, the Octane version of the node data you copied, whether you use groups within the group (you shouldn't!), and finally it compares the outputs to the variants of that scatter object.

The next step for me is to get back into Phantom Scatter 1.10 and make it detect the XML data entered in Phantom Node Link and then make sure it can actually export it all in 1 go so CTRL+V works in Octane.

Success, Phantom Scatter 1.10 can now deal with the Phantom Node Link data:

After I create a manual on how to operate it (it's really really easy and convenient) then PNL release 1.0 is a go!

Updated website, Phantom Node Link manual is now available for download so you can check out how I designed this new program.

» Added screen bending to the UI to make the graphics more in line with the other Phantom products.

» Added function CURVE to the (newly added) module MAIN. This allows you to disable the UI bending if you don't like this.

» Added function INFO TEXT COLOR under MAIN, this makes the function info text display in white instead of the default (purple). This makes it easier to read on lower-spec displays.

» Minor performance improvement when the program is idle.
