[UU3D, is it really required?]

ArBuZ: Yes. I'll try again later, since I prefer to use your script. But last time it really screwed up the model in LE.

[MMOFPS?]

A MMOFPS is possible in Leadwerks. But you would need to write all netcode yourself. Which is relatively difficult.

[what do you want see in leadwerks 3.0]

What I would like to see is a switch to run in dedicated server mode, not requiring a graphics card but still doing physics. I know there has been talk about this but will it still make LE3?

Josh confirmed it'll be added for LE3 if I remember correctly.

[CameraPick > Delete Model]

Do you know a way I can find out??

Well, try to search for LESDK.exe in the Leadwerks directory. Try to run it and upgrade to Leadwerks 2.40. If that works, you got a legal copy.

 

If you can't find LESDK.exe or there's no key. I guess you really need to contact Josh to get a license.

[CameraPick > Delete Model]

I'm sorry if I'm wrong. But are you sure you got a legal version of Leadwerks, and not a pirated one? (since you don't got a developer account)

 

Edit

Read your older posts. I'm sure it's a pirated version. But others can of course decide to help you.

[Physics questions]

Thanks. But how come a vehicle is 1.0 and an oildrum is 6.0? Doesn't make a lot sense to be honest (and yes, I understand values don't always need to be realistic).

[Physics questions]

Hi guys,

 

Few short questions related to physics:

- What is the default gravity (the one used in the Editor)? Is it 0 , -9.80665*2 , 0 ?

- Do I need to use UpdateAppTime when using the framework?

- What is a good weight for a vehicle? I see 1.0 used a lot (viperscout/monstertruck). while an oildrum has a mass of 6.0.

 

I already tried to play around with values myself. But somehow I can't get it to work.

 

Thanks.

[UU3D, is it really required?]

I managed to get it working, by disabling the export of bones. Thanks guys!

[UU3D, is it really required?]

texture0="abstract::maps.hi.13.dds"
shader="abstract::mesh_diffuse.vert","abstract::mesh_diffuse.frag"

 

One of the materials I use. Shaders seem to be ok..

[UU3D, is it really required?]

Tried again from FBX to UU3D and the textures seem to go fine now. However, my model has like a red overlay on it (while I didn't select it in the editor).

[UU3D, is it really required?]

Your download link is missing the fbx file, which UU3D needs to read it in. You don't need the max/mat files though, it's only some undocumented binary garbage which only 3DSMax can read.

UU3D can import and export materials just fine.

Well, I tried to export to OBJ and then load it up in UU3D. That didn't work. Then I tried to export to FBX and import it in UU3D. But still the materials are missing.

[UU3D, is it really required?]

UU3D doesn't export materials (neither textures), you must create it by yourself.

How can I set the material of a surface then?

[UU3D, is it really required?]

Well. I made a simple map in 3dsmax of 2229 polygons. When I try to export it using the 3dsmax scripts , it either crashes in the editor. Or I can't see it.

 

I tried to split up the model in different parts. But they simply don't appear either. When I try to set their view-range property the Editor crashes instantly.

 

Now when I try to export it using UU3D. The model works fine (1 part). But it's all black, and it simply doesn't got any materials on it.

 

I've included the max files and such so you can try it yourself: http://www.xoti.net/stuff/uploads/ywa_map_1b_9fdf.zip

 

Thanks in advance.

[UU3D, is it really required?]

Well, it seems UU3D exports my model fine. However, I'm having troubles with the materials/textures. How can I export from 3ds to UU3D and keep the material names?

 

Thanks.

[UU3D, is it really required?]

Thanks for the explanation guys. Will get myself a copy then.

[UU3D, is it really required?]

Hi guys,

 

I'm having some troubles with exporting certain models to my game with the standard tools + 3dsmax script. Since I hear a lot of you guys talking about Ultimate Unwrap 3D, I was wondering what can it exactly do for me (using Leadwerks)?

 

Is it a tool to convert models from 3ds (or whatever) to Leadwerks, or something different?

 

Thanks in advance.

[HOw to simulate hand brake?]

Damn, if only Josh could do something for Ywa, now that i found someone really motivated in producing a pascal written game, and probably skilled enought to succed, i would be disapointed if this stopped him.

You're so kind. haha

 

@ Alessandro: Please let me know if Josh replies to you. Would be nice if you could actually link him to this topic/thread.

[Frame Rate]

The higher the framerate, the better. There is no such thing as a recommended framerate.

Yes there is. You should always try to have a stable 60 fps. Because most monitors/screens are 60 Hz and having 60 fps ensures a smooth play. Although anything between 30-60 is fine too usually.

[HOw to simulate hand brake?]

We need SetTireTorque to force the speed on a specific value. As I requested here: http://leadwerks.com/werkspace/index.php?/topic/2828-add-more-vehicle-functions/

[Add more vehicle functions]

Hi,

 

I'm currently working on a project involving vehicles. And I noticed Leadwerks misses some important vehicle functions, while Newton 1.35 does support them. So I guess it would be just a matter of 5 minutes to add them.

 

These are the functions Newton supports:

NewtonVehicleAddTire

 

NewtonVehicleGetFirstTireID

 

NewtonVehicleGetNextTireID

 

NewtonVehicleGetTireLateralSpeed

 

NewtonVehicleGetTireLongitudinalSpeed

 

NewtonVehicleGetTireMatrix

 

NewtonVehicleGetTireNormalLoad

 

NewtonVehicleGetTireOmega

 

NewtonVehicleGetTireSteerAngle

 

NewtonVehicleGetTireUserData

 

NewtonVehicleRemoveTire

 

NewtonVehicleReset

 

NewtonVehicleSetTireCallback

 

NewtonVehicleSetTireLongitudinalSlideCoeficient

 

NewtonVehicleSetTireMaxLongitudinalSlideSpeed

 

NewtonVehicleSetTireMaxSideSleepSpeed

 

NewtonVehicleSetTireSideSleepCoeficient

 

NewtonVehicleSetTireSteerAngle

 

NewtonVehicleSetTireTorque

 

NewtonVehicleTireCalculateMaxBrakeAcceleration

 

NewtonVehicleTireIsAirBorne

 

NewtonVehicleTireLostSideGrip

 

NewtonVehicleTireLostTraction

 

NewtonVehicleTireSetBrakeAcceleration

 

Josh, I really need some of these functions. So I was wondering if you could make a new 2.40 build or make a separate release for me?

 

Thanks in advance!

[Sounds improvements for LE3]

I would still like to see MP3 support. I guess it's a licensing issue, but still.

[LE3 file system]

Why are you dropping the abstract file system? I'm using it quite often and it works great.

 

Anyways. I like how you will prioritize normal & PAK files. This allows modifications and such while still keeping the original ones when some files are broken.

[Question about joints]

how many newton.dll and jointlibrary.dll do you find on your system ?

 

Many thanks, there was no joinlibrary.dll in the binary folder ... Silly me

[Question about joints]

From my game engine log, it seems I already have LE 2.40.

 

Leadwerks Engine 2.40
Initializing Renderer...

 

PS: Seems like my engine.dll wasn't updated. Results:

 

- Aside from the fact that the terrain physics aren't debugged anymore (which is a good thing), my problem is still there. Waiting for your reply, thanks

[Question about joints]

mCar.GetPos returns a TVec3, yes. I also have an overloaded add operator (..but I haven't got problems using it). Anyways, I'll try your code and post results.

 

Results:

 

 

EDIT: I have no idea what's wrong. Also, there's some clipped code (on the CreateJointHinge line, can you write it, please). Thanks.
