Project config

Hi

To make an application like the cartoon interior project do I have to make all the models in individual projects? then copy the .json and .bin files of each project into a new project?

Or there's a way to create all of them with only one blender file?

Also I have a problem creating new project's because it doesn't create me the application starter files (html/js/css files), I have the last version of the SDK.

Hi, Alberto. You don't need to create many projects, one is enough. A project can contain multiple blend-files and hence multiple bin/json files - just add as many blend-files as you want.

Also I have a problem creating new project's because it doesn't create me the application starter files (html/js/css files), I have the last version of the SDK.
Are you talking about the 16.11 developer preview? It was released last friday, did you try it?

Also, did you have any warnings/errors in the operation report screen:

These marked lines should be in the report if the "Create Application Starter Files" option is enabled .

I downloaded the developer preview and it's still not creating me the starter files but I create them and in the .b4w_project file changed the engine_type from "webplayer_json" to "update" and it's working .



But the project manager still doesn't create me the files when I select this



this is the result



I had to create them manually (which is not a problem) but if you can tell me what am I doing wrong I will appreciate it. thanks

Ah, this is because you're choosing the "Bundled Project" option. Thus the available engine types are "Web Player JSON" and "Web Player HTML".
The documentation explains this moment: "Web Player JSON - json-file placed inside the project is run with the help of web-player inside SDK; Web Player HTML - project is packed into single html-file, containing all required resources". So, you'll have bin + json + standard web player (hence no custom js/css/html files) for the former variant and one self-containing html file for the latter. You can find more info here: Project Creation Wizard.

We've recently changed the behavior of the bundled project type - it is no longer suitable for developing a custom application with your own js/css/html, so you'd better to leave this option turned off and choose, for example, the External engine binding type.
We'll try to make this more clear in the future, sorry for the confusion.

Oh in the past releases that was working for me.

Thanks for making it clear for me I really appreciate the help.
