Panda3D.Framework.Build

The Panda3D.Framework resource pipeline, delivered as an MSBuild-only NuGet package — it ships no runtime assembly and emits no mounting code. One PackageReference folds egg2bam, multifile (.mf) packing, and asset copy into dotnet build / run / publish, driven entirely from item groups in your .csproj over the Panda3D.Tools native CLIs (pulled in transitively, host-RID-selected).

What it does

Three composable stages, keyed off a single piece of metadata (Bundle):

  1. Build — run source art through a processor (.egg/.egg.pz → .bam via the built-in Egg2Bam, or your own PandaProcessor for blend2bam, palettize, shader compilers, …).
  2. Pack — multify the results into .mf bundles.
  3. Deploy — copy loose files and finished bundles next to the build output ($(OutDir)), carried into dotnet publish at the same layout.

An asset tagged Bundle="x.mf" is packed into that bundle; without Bundle it is loose-copied. Built models carry their referenced textures automatically, and a texture edit re-triggers the bam build (dependency tracking via the transitively referenced Panda3D.ModelDeps analyzer).

Item groups

Item Role
PandaEgg .egg/.egg.pz → .bam (sugar for a PandaResource bound to the built-in Egg2Bam).
PandaResource any input run through a processor (matched by extension, or an explicit Processor=).
PandaProcessor a named, reusable build rule (Command or Tool+Args, Extensions, output naming).
PandaContent loose-copied to the content root, or staged for packing when Bundle is set.
PandaBundle a bundle's identity: Compression (0–9) and extra multify Options.

Common metadata: Bundle (target .mf; unset = loose copy), BundlePath (layout inside the bundle), Options (extra tool flags passed through), TrackTextures.

Usage

From a game's .csproj — build the source eggs to .bam and pack them into ralph.mf next to the executable:

<ItemGroup>
  <PackageReference Include="Panda3D.Framework.Build" Version="1.11.0-*" />
</ItemGroup>

<ItemGroup>
  <PandaEgg Include="../models/*.egg.pz" Bundle="ralph.mf" />
  <PandaBundle Include="ralph.mf" Compression="6" />
</ItemGroup>

The pipeline stops at artifacts and emits no mount code — when and how to mount ralph.mf into the VFS (a C# VirtualFileSystem.Mount call, or a vfs-mount line in your .prc) is a runtime one-liner the game owns. See docs/04-resources.md.
