 Who would have thought that VB performes so well against C#. (At least for the export.) On second thought, it makes sense that both .NET 10 builds are more memory-efficient overall, as they share a more modern - and therefore more efficient - foundation.
-====Notes on VB (.NET 10)====
+====Dev notes====
-Looks like the VB version build was only partial successful:
+On a general note:
-* DAT exports with identical oni files.
+* Do simpler fixes first, so the more complex bug might get easier to fix if a few other interdependancies are alredy fixed.
-* XML extraction and propably other file types and conversions need additional fixing.
+* In case of big pools of files with same subtype, use a limited amount of test files at once first.
+* A complete dev env should contain files to test every possible conversion including options.
+* Keep test data out of original AE directory. When debugging multiple codebases, you don't want to them to crash into one another.
-For serious usage the VB version requires more testing and bug fixing for non-export ops.
+====Notes on C# (.NET Framework 4)====
+Looks like the current OniSplit srouce on svn (0.9.99.0) has a bug in XML/ParticleXmlImporter.cs
+            // broken: string text = xml.ReadElementContentAsString();
+            string text = xml.ReadContentAsString();
-But timewise, it is probably best to simply continue with the C# .NET10 build.
+Double checked: Testing roundtrip with shipped 0.9.95.0 and local build of 0.9.99.0
+: pass
+: fail
+Applied fix in C# .NET 10 build:
++: pass
 ====Notes on C# (.NET 10)====
-<s>Currently, XML is exported with slightly less accuracy: Doubles are rounded to 6 instead of 7 digits after the decimal separator.</s>
+XML was first exported with slightly less accuracy: Floats are rounded to 6 instead of 7 digits after the decimal separator. The desired behavior was reimplemented by adding methods that mimic this quasi-legacy float-parsing.
-* The desired behavior can be reimplemented by adding methods that mimic this quasi-legacy float-parsing.
+====Notes on VB (.NET 10)====
+Fixing the vb codebase in its entireness might take two weeks and one addional week for heavy testing.
+Things that already work:
+* DAT export for oni files
+* XML extraction
+** Tested: DAE co-extraction for objects
+** Not tested: DAE co-extraction characters / anims
+* Image extraction: DDS, PNG, TGA
+* Object extraction: DAE and OBJ
+* WAV extraction
+* TXT extraction
+* SUBT creation
+* Explicitly tested XML roundtripping and fixed:
+** M3GM (not created from OBJ)
+XML imports needs a better test setup because of all the subformats.
