Editor Gen Test

Internal test/debug module for the Building Architect Tool (BAT) procedural generation system. Contains test routines for mesh generation, DAE export, LOD creation, XML manipulation, and building geometry validation.

Module Overview

Public Functions

Key Capabilities Tested

• Mesh generation: ProceduralMesh creation, vertex colors, UV mapping, face winding
• DAE pipeline: XML parsing (xmlOn), node manipulation (forNode, toNode, ofNode), LOD insertion, material replacement, file export (xml2file)
• Building geometry: Wall paving (rcPave, framePave, frameSpline), roof ridge/gable generation, polygon splitting
• Forest items: Creation, positioning, transform updates via editor.updateForestItem
• Material loading: Reading material JSON files, setting up BAT-specific material variants

Usage Context

-- Only runs in development mode (U._PRD == 0)
local Tst = require('/lua/ge/extensions/editor/gen/test')
Tst.test_BAT()      -- Run full test suite
Tst.pretest_BAT(true) -- Set up in-world test scene
Tst.clear('theForest') -- Wipe all test artifacts

Note: This module is gated behind U._PRD == 0 checks and contains extensive commented-out experimental code. Not intended for production use.

Exported Functions

M.inject(olist)

Injects module dependencies and triggers onUp.

• olist (table?) - {E, W, UI, UU} module references

M.onUp(arg)

Activates the test/conf editor mode, reloads modules, shows LAT/TEST windows.

• arg (any) - Optional argument

M.clear(forestName)

Wipes all test objects, generated files (DAE/JSON), and recreates the Forest object.

• forestName (string) - Name of the Forest scene object to recreate

Returns: Forest - The newly created Forest object

M.pretest_BAT(inworld)

Sets up camera positions and optional in-world test geometry.

• inworld (boolean?) - If true, places player and generates test roads/regions

M.test_BAT(p)

Main test entry point - exercises mesh, DAE, LOD, XML, building, and roof geometry.

• p (vec3?) - Optional position
