[Holy Crap... there is no undo button in the editor?]

When I asked him about undo & redo @ Twitter (Click) he replied with:

 

2.4 didn't change anything though.

[Holy Crap... there is no undo button in the editor?]

Could we have an undo & redo ability..

[Forum bugs]

The timestamp bug is really annoying yes.

i'd love to visit california for once..hahaha hmmm...

Too bad Josh lives in Nevada.

[Training Course at Leadwerks]

It's just an idea, but you might want to buy a license first and then see how easy it is to code with Leadwerks and that the wiki & tutorials provide a lot of information. Plus the community helps if you ask a question.

[Supporting game development]

Having the Steamworks code doesn't mean you're allowed to use it. For example, you can already add it into your own code. But it won't work unless Valve gives you a developer account @ Steam.

[Do i have to redo the phy files with 2.4 ?]

You need to regenerate it from a FBX/obj file. Simply deleting it won't work.

[Tiling a material/texture]

First thing I guess.

 

Here's a screenshot of it in the model viewer: Click

[Tiling a material/texture]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm trying to export a model from 3dsmax to LE using the (unofficial) exporter. This model uses a tiled texture to repeat it multiple times onto the model. It looks fine in 3DS. But it just places it as 1 texture per face/side in LE (both editor & model viewer).

 

How can I fix this?

 

Thanks.

[Modelling a vehicle for LE]

Well, managed to get it working with the monstertruck wheels. Also, wheels never interfere with the chassis apparently.

 

Thanks.

[Modelling a vehicle for LE]

Tried to create my own wheels to make sure the phy files are correct. But they have a wrong rotation (even if I rotate them again in 3dsmax) (screenshot).

 

LE lacks some serious tutorials and modelling source files (for example, I wish we had the original max/fbx/3ds file of the monstertruck + wheels).

[Modelling a vehicle for LE]

Hm thanks. Will look into it.

[Modelling a vehicle for LE]

Hi,

 

I was wondering how exporting of vehicles goes. I tried to make a simple vehicle (as you can see) and put the monstertruck wheels on it (using a copied script). However, the vehicle goes through the terrain/floor (screenshot). Is it because my phy file doesn't take care of the wheels (screenshot), like the other ones seem to do?

 

In short: Anyone got a few tips for making a vehicle work in LE?

 

Thanks.

[Physics problem with monster-truck]

Hi everyone,

 

Apparently the monster-truck just keeps hanging in the air with both own code and in the editor. While the viperscout works fine. I tried to compare their Lua code and other settings. But I wasn't able to find anything.

 

So does anyone got an idea why the monster-truck simply don't work?

 

Thanks in advance.

[Problems with loading materials from PAK file]

Yeah I noticed afterwards. It's a shame there's no script example with the monstertruck then. Since I can't get that one work with the other scripts. It keeps hanging in the air (broken phy file?).

[Problems with loading materials from PAK file]

Hi everyone,

 

When I try to load the driver-script (through a require function) from Engine.exe (with an editted start.lua to load a scene and such) I get the following runtime error:

Unhandled Exception:Zip data error

 

It seems it's caused by loading materials from the PAK file. Is it protected or some sort, or can it be fixed?

 

Code it gives the error on:

chassis=LoadModel("abstract::vehicle_viperscout.gmf")

 

Thanks in advance!

Topic title says it all basically. Would it be possible to add a right mouse button menu-item on a tab, which closes all other tabs?

 

Thanks!

[Problems with Delphi headers]

Wchris, I tried to use the GetEntityKey function in Delphi, but it gives an A/V in engine.dll. GetEntityKey uses a AnsiString with assignation. So I guess that doesn't fix it. Got any other ideas?

 

Edit: Got a work-around. Simply use PAnsiChar without a default value assigned to it. Kinda sucks, but it works.

[..LE code on PS3..]

Wow this looks really cool. Is this game being aimed at PSN or Retail release ?

Not 100% sure but I read somewhere it was for PSN. Anyways, really can't wait to play something that's made with LE.

[Problems with Delphi headers]

Well, mine is in H:\Leadwerks Engine SDK (can't move it to C:\ ). I copied some of the directories to the SimpleFWExample folder. And it runs fine. But when I shutdown I get a lot Access Violations in the console. So it's a bit different.

 

Yes I know it's not the latest driver. But it's seems it's more a Delphi problem since other LE templates (C++ for example) work fine.

[Problems with Delphi headers]

Well, I regenerated the Leadwerks.pas file. And it compiles ok now. Didn't test any functions which utilize the AnsiString-type yet.

 

For the crash. I basically get it with your SimpleFWExample code. And even a stripped down version of it. I could send you the exe, but the path of our LE installations may vary.. so that would not work anyways. Guess it's an ATi + Delphi problem then. I might move to C++ anyways.

 

Thanks for now.

[Problems with Delphi headers]

Thanks Wchris. Already managed to get it compiling, but my method caused some instability with those functions. So I'll try your PascalTypes.txt method instead.

 

Would be great indeed if you can compile a Delphi test project that works fine on yours.

Draw real lines. Don't use textures for drawing lines.

[..LE code on PS3..]

i dont think people should bother with developing for consoles especially when the new ones are coming out in 2 years. i think Leadwerks should focus on bringing back the PC gaming community and not being a cryengine 3 knock off.

2 years? Source?

 

As far as I know both X360 and PS3 will stay for atleast another 4 to 5 years.

[Portal 2]

I think it's a bit disappointing that we can't see Portal 2 in full visual quality, since it's not for the PC.

Same goes for all games which don't come out for the PC and need to suffer from the 10 year old hardware technology of consoles.

Wtf? Valve's main-platform is the PC.

 

Portal 2 will be released for PC, Mac, PS3 and Xbox360. The PC version will be optimized and is the main development platform. So it's not a crappy from-console port!
