BuildOurOwnBabylonJS

Tool to start playing with and tuning BabylonJS as soon as possible

(Paths in this file are relative to this file location.)

Content

• BabylonJS folder: contains a Visual Studio 2010 project that links to the last version of babylon.js file (under ..\..\..\), to ..\..\..\cannon.js and to all the files under ..\..\..\Babylon and ..\..\..\Typescript
• BuildOurOwnBabylonJS: contains a Visual Studio 2010 project to create ourOwnBabylon.js with ourOwnBabylonJS.xml as input; it also contains the executables (no need to compile the project to create ourOwnBabylon.js)
• BuildOurOwnBabylonJSServer: contains a Visual Studio 2010 project which is a simple MVC3 application with a single sample page; this sample page includes ourOwnBabylon.js to load the Train demo

Goal of it

JSKompactor.exe provided by Deltakosh enables you to pass a list of javascript files to create the minified version of Babylon.js. BuildOurOwnBabylonJS.bat generates for your this list by dealing with dependencies defined in ourOwnBabylonJS.xml By editing ourOwnBabylonJS.xml, you customize this list to get only what needed from BabylonJS in ourOwnBabylon.js. ourOwnBabylon.js can be included in your project instead of the last version of Babylon.js. Changes made in the separate files of Babylon.js will appear in ourOwnBabylon.js once BuildOurOwnBabylonJS.bat has been run.

How to use it

• Edit the files that you want to modify under the files under ..\..\..\Babylon, add new files too if you want and then update babylonJS.xml and ourOwnBabylonJS.xml accordingly
• Generate ourOwnBabylon.js. For this, you have two options:
  1. use BuildOurOwnBabylonJS.bat
  2. open in Visual Studio 2010 BuildOurOwnBabylonJS.sln, set 'BuildOurOwnBabylonJSServer' as default project and then 'Build Solution'
• If you use i., include in your projects ourOwnBabylon.js instead of including the last version of Babylon.js (or the files separately). If you use ii., 'Start Without Debugging'
  

Use of the Visual Studio 2010 solution

• Open in Visual Studio 2010 BuildOurOwnBabylonJS.sln, set 'BuildOurOwnBabylonJSServer' as default project
• DO NOT MANUALLY ADD files in BabylonJS.csproj, they are automatically added thanks to wildcards. If you want to add files to extend BabylonJS, add them at the right place under ..\..\..\Babylon, then 'Unload Project' for BabylonJS.csproj and 'Reload Project' for BabylonJS.csproj
• Edit all the files that you want directly inside Visual Studio 2010
• Add all your projects/demos by adding new Views under the Home folder of BuildOurOwnBabylonJS.csproj. Index.cshtml is an example to help you start.
• Anytime you modify javascript files or babylonJS.xml or ourOwnBabylonJS.xml, build the solution and refresh your page in your web browser to see the changes.
