Implement XML-driven custom property system for TombEngine moveables and statics #4

Copilot · 2026-01-26T20:55:38Z

Overview

Adds comprehensive custom property system for TombEngine objects. Properties defined in XML, edited via unified UI, serialized to WAD2/PRJ2, and inherited from WAD to level instances.

Core Architecture

Property Definition Layer

XML files in Resources/Properties/Moveables/*.xml define per-object properties
Default.xml provides base properties (HP, OCB) merged with object-specific definitions
Supports Integer, Float, Boolean, Dropdown, Checkbox, Color types
PropertyManager singleton loads and caches all definitions at startup

UI Layer

PropertyEditorWindow dynamically builds controls from property definitions
Context-aware: WadTool resets to XML defaults, TombEditor resets to WAD2 values
ColorPickerWindow for RGB/hex color editing
Batch editing for multiple selected objects

Persistence Layer

Wad2Writer/Loader: Serialize CustomProperties to WAD2 binary format
Prj2Writer/Loader: Serialize CustomProperties to PRJ2 level format
List serialized as JSON arrays: ["item1","item2"]
Type preservation via PropertyCollection.GetProperty<T>

Integration

ItemInstance.FromItemType() copies properties from WAD to instance on placement
GetObjectSetupWindow() routes to appropriate form based on level type
Bulk operations: Reload all from WAD, Reset all properties

Key Implementation Details

Property Inheritance Flow

XML Definition → WAD2 CustomProperties → PRJ2 Instance CustomProperties
         ↓                ↓                        ↓
    PropertyManager    WadMoveable           MoveableInstance

Level Type Routing

// Clean overloads replace hacky params array
public static DarkForm GetObjectSetupWindow(object instance) // TR4/NG
public static DarkForm GetObjectSetupWindow(object instance, Level level) // TombEngine
public static DarkForm GetObjectSetupWindow(TriggerInstance trigger, Level level, 
    Action<ObjectInstance> selectObject, Action<Room> selectRoom) // Triggers

Checkbox Serialization

// Serialize List<string> as JSON
if (value is List<string> list)
    writer.WriteStringUTF8($"[{string.Join(",", list.Select(i => $"\"{i}\""))}]");

// Deserialize back to List<string>
if (value.StartsWith("[") && value.EndsWith("]"))
    properties.SetProperty(key, ParseJsonStringArray(value));

Files Changed

Core Classes (new)

PropertyDefinition.cs, PropertyCollection.cs, PropertyManager.cs
PropertyEditorWindow.xaml/.cs, ColorPickerWindow.xaml/.cs

Serialization (modified)

Wad2Writer.cs, Wad2Loader.cs - WAD2 binary chunks
Prj2Writer.cs, Prj2Loader.cs - PRJ2 level chunks

Data Model (modified)

WadMoveable.cs, WadStatic.cs - Added CustomProperties field
MoveableInstance.cs, StaticInstance.cs - Added CustomProperties field
ItemInstance.cs - Property copying in FromItemType()

UI Integration (modified)

EditorActions.cs - Routing logic, bulk operations
FormMain.cs (WadTool) - Context menu, PropertyManager init
FormMoveable.cs, FormStatic.cs (TombEngine namespace) - Use PropertyEditorWindow

Backward Compatibility

TR4/NG levels unaffected. Conditional routing based on Level.IsTombEngine:

Non-TombEngine: Original forms (FormMoveable, FormStatic, color picker)
TombEngine: PropertyEditorWindow with property system

Requirements for Property System in Tomb Editor

Overview

This document defines the requirements for implementing a WPF-based property system in Tomb Editor. The system is designed for the Tomb Engine level type, managing properties for both moveables and statics. Moveables and statics will have distinct property models to reflect their usage in the engine.

Functional Requirements

1. Property Management for Moveables

1.1 Each moveable item has an associated XML file that describes its properties.
1.2 The property system allows users to:

View and edit properties for individual moveables.
Update all moveables of the same type in batch to avoid redundant edits.

2. Property Management for Statics

2.1 All statics share a single XML file that lists common and dynamic properties.
2.2 Default properties for statics should include:

Shatter Sound: (Dropdown - e.g., None, Stone, Wood, Glass, Custom)
HP (Hit Points): Numeric input for health points.
Shatter Behavior: Boolean input (radio buttons for true or false).

2.3 Additional properties for statics (beyond the defaults) should be read dynamically from the shared static property XML file.

3. Dynamic Properties and Controls

Controls for properties (both moveables and statics) should be dynamically defined based on the XML files.
3.1 Supported control types:

Dropdowns with enumerated values
Numeric inputs: integers or floats
Boolean inputs: radio buttons (true/false)
Checkbox lists: for multi-select options

3.2 Each property must include:

A user-defined label.
A data type from the list above.
Acceptable values or ranges (if relevant).
Default values.

4. Default Settings and Reset Option

4.1 When the property window opens for the first time, it should load default properties for the selected moveable or static.
4.2 The property window must enable users to reset all properties to their defaults via a Reset to Default button.

5. Mandatory Properties

For Moveables:

5.1 Every moveable item will have two mandatory default properties:

HP: (Numeric input)
OCB: (Numeric input with descriptions read dynamically from XML)

For Statics:

5.2 Every static item will have the following default properties:

Shatter Sound: (Dropdown)
HP: (Numeric input)
Shatter Behavior: (Boolean input)

Non-Functional Requirements

1. UI/UX

1.1 The property window must be built using WPF, leveraging a modern and responsive UI framework.
1.2 The design should allow seamless interaction and efficient batch updates for users.

Architectural Requirements

1. Binding to XML

1.1 Moveable properties:

Each moveable has its own unique XML file for property definitions.

1.2 Static properties:

All static properties are defined in a shared XML file to ensure consistency and easy management.

1.3 General structure of the XML files:

Properties must specify their label, type, possible values, default values, and descriptions (if applicable).

2. Dynamic Property Loading

2.1 For both moveables and statics, the system should dynamically load property definitions from their respective XML files to populate the property editor UI.

3. Batch Updates

3.1 The system must support batch updates for moveables and statics, ensuring multiple objects of the same type can be updated in a single action.

Example XML Structures

Example 1: Moveable Properties XML

<MoveableProperties>
  <Property name="HP" type="Integer">
    <Default>100</Default>
  </Property>
  <Property name="OCB" type="Integer">
    <Default>0</Default>
    <Description>Object Combination Block identifier</Description>
  </Property>
  <Property name="DamageType" type="Dropdown">
    <Default>None</Default>
    <Options>
      <Option>None</Option>
      <Option>Burn</Option>
      <Option>Freeze</Option>
      <Option>Electric</Option>
    </Options>
  </Property>
</MoveableProperties>

Example 2: Shared Static Properties XML

<StaticProperties>
  <Property name="ShatterSound" type="Dropdown">
    <Default>None</Default>
    <Options>
      <Option>None</Option>
      <Option>Stone</Option>
      <Option>Wood</Option>
      <Option>Glass</Option>
    </Options>
  </Property>
  <Property name="HP" type="Integer">
    <Default>150</Default>
  </Property>
  <Property name="Shatter" type="Boolean">
    <Default>false</Default>
  </Property>
  <!-- Additional dynamic definitions can be added here -->
  <Property name="Color" type="Checkbox">
    <Options>
      <Option>Red</Option>
      <Option>Blue</Option>
      <Option>Green</Option>
    </Options>
  </Property>
</StaticProperties>

Future Considerations

Validation: Include validation to ensure property inputs stay within accep...

@copilot I get following error

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Details...

Fixed in commit 702595b. The compilation errors were caused by:

Missing using System.Windows.Media; in BatchPropertyEditorWindow
Incorrect namespace for Thickness (should be System.Windows, not System.Windows.Media)
Type mismatch - StackPanel inherits from Panel, not Control in WPF

Changed the dictionary and method signatures from Control to FrameworkElement, which is the correct common base type for all WPF UI elements including both controls and panels. The code should now compile successfully.

@copilot When i build release its not copying the default property xml files or the windows directory to build directory. Also when I click edit object for static, it just opens a color picker and not the property window.

@copilot When i build release its not copying the default property xml files or the windows directory to build directory. Also when I click edit object for static, it just opens a color picker and not...

Fixed in commits f083cfd and 38157fc:

XML files not copying to build directory:

Added <None Update> configuration in TombEditor.csproj to copy all Resources/Properties/**/*.xml files to output directory with PreserveNewest
Files will now be available at runtime in the expected location

XML file lookup not working:

Updated PropertyManager to handle WadObjectId.ToString() format which returns strings like "(123) HORSEMAN"
Now extracts the simple name "HORSEMAN" to match your XML filename "HORSEMAN.xml"
Lookup tries exact match first, then extracts name from parentheses format

Static objects opening color picker instead of property window:

Fixed EditorActions.EditObject() to check both IsNG and IsTombEngine flags
TombEngine statics now open the WPF property editor window instead of the color picker
Color picker only opens for legacy (non-NG/non-TombEngine) levels, or when holding Ctrl key

The property system should now work correctly for both moveables and statics in TombEngine levels.

@copilot Can we change the layout of the property window to a property grid. The description text can be on ToolTip.

Item Name

Property 1 - Value 1
Property 2 - Value 2

Copilot · 2026-01-26T22:01:34Z

@copilot Can we change the layout of the property window to a property grid. The description text can be on ToolTip.

Item Name...

Implemented in commit 4060bfb. The property window now uses a property grid layout with:

Grid Layout:

Property names in left column (150px fixed width)
Value controls in right column (flexible width)
Descriptions moved to tooltips (hover over property name or control)
Clean, compact two-column design

Color Picker:

Color properties display as button showing current color preview + hex value
Clicking button opens dedicated ColorPickerWindow dialog with:
- Large color preview at top (80px height)
- RGB sliders (0-255 range) with real-time updates
- RGB text input boxes next to each slider (editable)
- Hex text input field (#RRGGBB format, editable)
- All inputs synchronized - change any value and all others update
- OK/Cancel buttons to confirm or discard changes

The interface is now much cleaner and more professional, similar to standard property grids in Visual Studio or other IDEs.

Copilot · 2026-01-26T22:07:33Z

@copilot Also if I change any property I get a crash

Application does not support just-in-time (JIT)...

Fixed in commit de14027.

ObjectDisposedException Issue:
The crash was caused by the WPF window being shown in the constructor of FormMoveable/FormStatic, which called Close() on the wrapper form before EditorActions could call ShowDialog() on it.

Solution:
Moved the WPF window display from the constructor to the OnShown() event override. Now the form lifecycle is correct:

EditorActions creates and calls ShowDialog() on FormMoveable/FormStatic
OnShown event fires after the form is shown
WPF PropertyEditorWindow is displayed modally
Dialog result is properly converted and form closes without disposal issues

Compilation Error (CS0136):
Also fixed the duplicate variable name tb in the same commit by renaming variables to be unique across all switch cases (tbNumeric, tbColor, tbDefault).

The property system should now work without crashes when editing properties.

Copilot · 2026-01-26T22:33:43Z

@copilot There is a bug when I open the color picker

Application does not support just-in-time (JIT)...

Fixed in commit dd52a92.

The NullReferenceException occurred because the XAML sliders and textboxes have default values that trigger ValueChanged/TextChanged events during InitializeComponent(), but not all named controls are fully loaded yet when these events fire. Added null checks at the start of all three event handlers to safely ignore events during initialization. The color picker now opens without errors.

TrainWrack · 2026-01-26T22:35:13Z

@copilot Also, for some reason all multi mesh moveables are broken in the editor window. They are not showing the first animation frame anymore. Not sure what could be causing it. Is it cause we added Property to moveable instance?
