Viewport Rotation

[Tatsu]

Hiya,

A couple of months ago Andos gave permission to recompile his Viewport object. Word is, it now supports rotation.

Could someone with the proper resources be a pal and compile this right quick? I'm dying to take advantage of this feature.

Thanks!

If you upload the source somewhere I will compile using VC++ 6.0

I *think* this is it here. Anyone know for sure?

Thanks.

OK check back tomorrow morning about 7:30AM (GMT) and I will have compiled and uploaded it

That's good news. Waiting ...

As with any viable extension, I would hope we can get that version Vitalized! as well.

OK compiled, included is the vitalize version if anyone wants to submit it to CT. 1KB bigger than the Extension Updater version.
Get it from http://www.helper3000.net/viewport.zip

Thanks.

It might be a good idea to test it carefully to assure that it is stable and no new bugs were introduced with the feature, ey?

There are some strange results with transparency/background around the Viewport as you rotate (always equals black), but then, I don't use this object that much.

For an interesting effect, rotate the Viewport with an object moving on-screen and uncheck "save background". Besides the spiral, infinite looping effect, the background shows for a moment, then fades out, and goes to black, just like the area around the Viewport.

I don't know if it is supposed to do that, but I thought I would note it.

Just for info, I have a newer version in the works with a proper rotation that doesn't leak memory. (I can't remember if the current version does with rotation)
