Found the issue: The Linux executable does not set it's permissions to execute as a program. I'll copy over the executable with it's permissions set and post a quick "how to" on the blog in case it get's lost.

So I built recently built a "garbage-PC" (A term I use to describe building a new PC out of older usable parts.) and slapped in my old Radeon 5770 and a drive running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS in it to see if Leadwerks would work at all. Also, wanted to see if Vectronic would run out of the box if a Linux user downloaded the demo. I put the Vectronic Demo (Stand-alone Packaged) on the machine and when I tried to run it, it asked to install various packages. However, when I launched Leadwerks in Ubuntu, and created a new game, that executable launched fine. So I took that executable, renamed it "Vectronic", and boom it launched. So my question is why does a linux executable generated from the project manager off of a Windows machine need additional packages while one generated on linux just works? Should I ship the working executable or should I just install the list of packages it wants? And to be clear, I'm not running the Window's .exe executable.

I guess it was something in the player code. Mine is not the stock FPSPlayer so it may be why mine worked fine. (also it's a bit harder to notice in first person.) My lua script solves that problem. The issue was updating the player while it was moving.

I had this issue (But it strangely went away). You can try parenting a pushing trigger upwards or add this: function Script:Collision(entity, position, normal, speed) if self.move then if entity:GetKeyValue("type") == "player" then System:Print("Entity Touching") self.currentPushForceDir = self.PushForceDir entity:SetVelocity(self.PushForceDir, true) end end end At the top of the script, add: Script.PushForceDir=Vec3(0,0,0) --Vec3 "Force Direction" Script.currentPushForceDir=Vec3(0,0,0) The goal is to keep the player moving. Experiment with self.PushForceDir on the y axis. I accidentally found this trying to push the player off of moving platforms. If the collision function is not spiting it's print, then move the pushing to a trigger volume.

No. You don't want to use the sliding door script as boxes and players would weigh it down. I had the same issue in my game. You need a non-physics based object that moves. (No mass, no joints). This is my script that I used in Vectronic. Feel free to use it.: import "Scripts/Functions/ReleaseTableObjects.lua" Script.restinglocation=nil Script.move=false Script.movedistance=0 --float "Move Distance" Script.movespeed=1 --float "Move Speed" Script.startopened=false --bool "Start Opened" Script.negitive=false --bool "dev" -- Sound Script.opensoundfile=""--path "Open Sound" "Wav File (*wav):wav|Sound" Script.closesoundfile=""--path "Close Sound" "Wav File (*wav):wav|Sound" Script.loopsoundfile=""--path "Loop Sound" "Wav File (*wav):wav|Sound" Script.stopsoundfile=""--path "Stop Sound" "Wav File (*wav):wav|Sound" function Script:Start() self.restinglocation = self.entity:GetPosition() self.iy = self.restinglocation.y self.targetlocation = Vec3(self.restinglocation.x,self.restinglocation.y + self.movedistance / 100,self.restinglocation.z) if self.startopened then self.entity:SetPosition(self.targetlocation) self.opened=true end self.sound={} if self.opensoundfile~="" then self.sound.open = Sound:Load(self.opensoundfile) end if self.loopsoundfile~="" then self.sound.loop = Sound:Load(self.loopsoundfile) end if self.closesoundfile~="" then self.sound.close = Sound:Load(self.closesoundfile) end if self.stopsoundfile~="" then self.sound.stop = Sound:Load(self.stopsoundfile) end if self.sound.loop~=nil then self.loopsource = Source:Create() self.loopsource:SetSound(self.sound.loop) self.loopsource:SetLoopMode(true) self.loopsource:SetRange(50) end -- Should always use a dynamic shadow. self.entity:SetShadowMode(2) local e = self.entity:CountChildren() for n=1,e do --System:Print(n) cl = n - 1 local c = self.entity:GetChild(cl) c:SetShadowMode(2) end end function Script:UpdateWorld() if self.movedistance >= 0 then self:NormalToggle() else self:NegitiveToggle() end end function Script:NormalToggle() if self.move then if not self.opened then if self.iy < self.targetlocation.y then self.entity:SetPosition(self.restinglocation.x,self.iy,self.restinglocation.z) self.iy=self.iy + self.movespeed * Time:GetSpeed()/100 elseif self.iy >= self.targetlocation.y then self.iy = self.targetlocation.y self.move = false self.opened=true self:StopSound() self.component:CallOutputs("OnOpened") end else if self.iy > self.restinglocation.y then self.entity:SetPosition(self.restinglocation.x,self.iy,self.restinglocation.z) self.iy=self.iy - self.movespeed * Time:GetSpeed()/100 elseif self.iy <= self.restinglocation.y then self.iy = self.restinglocation.y self.move = false self.opened=false self:StopSound() self.component:CallOutputs("OnClosed") end end end end function Script:NegitiveToggle() if self.move then if not self.opened then if self.iy > self.targetlocation.y then self.entity:SetPosition(self.restinglocation.x,self.iy,self.restinglocation.z) self.iy=self.iy - self.movespeed * Time:GetSpeed()/100 elseif self.iy <= self.targetlocation.y then self.iy = self.targetlocation.y self.move = false self.opened=true self:StopSound() self.component:CallOutputs("OnOpened") end else if self.iy < self.restinglocation.y then self.entity:SetPosition(self.restinglocation.x,self.iy,self.restinglocation.z) self.iy=self.iy + self.movespeed * Time:GetSpeed()/100 elseif self.iy >= self.restinglocation.y then self.iy = self.restinglocation.y self.move = false self.opened=false self:StopSound() self.component:CallOutputs("OnClosed") end end end end function Script:StartLoopSound() if self.loopsource~=nil then self.loopsource:SetPosition(self.entity:GetPosition(true)) if self.loopsource:GetState()==Source.Stopped then self.loopsource:Play() end end end function Script:StopSound() if self.sound.stop ~= nil then self.entity:EmitSound(self.sound.stop) end if self.loopsource~=nil then self.loopsource:Stop() end end function Script:Open()--in self.opened=false if not self.opened then --if not self.move then self.move = true self:StartLoopSound() if self.sound.open then self.entity:EmitSound(self.sound.open) end self.component:CallOutputs("Open") --end end end function Script:Close()--in self.opened=true if self.opened then --if not self.move then self.move = true self:StartLoopSound() if self.sound.close then self.entity:EmitSound(self.sound.close) end self.component:CallOutputs("Close") --end end end I put the move code in UpdateWorld than UpdatePhysics because the platform goes closer back to it's original resting point better with UpdateWorld.

Interesting. I tried it with my doors and although the actual model did not rotate, the bones of the models did. Any idea how it relates to it being fine for a few days/weeks then suddenly everything is off? Yeah, I'm a fan of CTRL+Draging so this makes sense why it was happening to me. Oddly enough, my trusses, and CSG were made by me copying and pasting, and they seem not to be effected.

If it stayed at for example -89.98, I would have been like "whatever, looks fine to me". But it slowly becomes -88, -87, -85, etc. Issue does not really pop up unless you are editing the same map over and over again, switching projects, and just general use of the editor. If there is anything we can do to help, let us know.

I thought it was only me too. I actually noticed it first with my boxshoot door. But I thought it was just the model and the fact I was loading the map on a different OS. It seems to be that when an entity (or CSG) get rotated, the rotation does not get saved properly. Keep a entity as Rotation 0,0,0, nothing will happen. (maybe some of the 0's will become negative. (-0.0). It also has something to to if a script is attached, and/or is parented to another entity in the scene tree. This issue is annoying and frustrating as things slowly move on their own and one day you'll find all your objects not how you want them.

I first noticed this with my indicators for Vectronic when after a while the indicators would tend to Z-clip with the wall. Today after I went to a different project, I came back to Vectronic to do a few more changes. In the demo map, I noticed that my doors where not in the tracks anymore, and some indicator panels were oddly rotated. I was able to quickly rotate them back into place (both models and bones) and I only have these screenshots right now. And here is a physics model I forgot to rotate back. After fixing all the models, I closed the editor, and relaunched it. I went back to one of the entities I had to rotate and it's rotation on one of the axis was 89.98 rather then the 90.00 I set it at. It happens to both models with and without bones/animations..

When I read this, I took it as "Don't use our libraries to make something totally different then intended such as a new game engine/tools." I think making tools for your game (e.g An application that's just meant to go in your maps and help generate cubemaps to make life easier) is ok, but taking the libraries and developing a branch engine goes against it. Ether way, if you just want to make games, you should not worry about this.

Same goes for their Source SDK department. That's Valve for ya.

Did you rebuild the C++ solution? I have frame dipping issues when I use the exe I built instead of the pre-made application. I was gonna post my issue once I had a demo out. I would delete the "My Game" project and replace it with a fresh Project that uses the Advanced First Person Shooter Template. They are the same thing, but it's best to make sure everything is up-to date and clean.

Yeah, and the best part is that the shadows are all static so they are not expensive! Also, a big shout out goes to Shadmar for the bloom and fog shaders. It really gives the maps the atmosphere I want.

Definitely Next Week! I wish I can release sooner, but I'm waiting on sounds and there are still a little bit more tweaks I wish to do.

Alright, I would look at this a bit and see if there are any adjustments you can do to get what you want. I'm sure changing the value of self.crouchedheight would do the trick.

I just had the common purple black screens in the past. Prob something stupid I did back then. Did not start the installation just yet, so I'll get back to you if I run in any issues.

So how does this work technically? Does the engine automatically load Main.lua if it exists? Looks like the source C++ files did not update. I'll most likely convert my game to use this later.

I tried installing Unity but it did not seem to work on 64bit OS's. I had a lot of issues with Ubuntu in the past, while Mint just worked for me. Right now, my head is a mess between that and restoring my Windows PC.

Ahh, ok then. Switching to Ubuntu today because that seems to be case with other programs sadly.

Currently moved to Linux mint for a while. I've noticed that in the assets and project manager, the text is white and unreadable. This also happens with the file manager (When you go to load a new map or something), and the material editor. However, in the scene tab, the highlighter is called and you can see all the entities selected or not. Also not sure if this is Mint exclusive, but I can say it's apparent using Linux Mint 17.1.

To Do: - Particles - Fixing of Visual bugs - A slight adjustment on visuals. Ceiling looks too flat, and I need more light sources. - Sounds and ambiance - Improvements to some gameplay scripts. - Get ready for Demo Release, should have it out no later then the 29th.

A list of compatible graphics cards would be nice. I know that my Radeon 5770 use to run Leadwerks although it was not an OpenGL 4.0 card, and it ran slowly. That, and now since it's latest supported driver is Omega 14.12, the 5770 and related cards don't work with Leadwerks (or possibly any OpenGL games) out of the box anymore. I was gonna put the card into my Linux machine if that was not the case.

Jeez, so I have to ask, what's your alternative solution after dealing with that?

I just wrote this up real quick to get ideas out so no, what I said will most likely not work/be logical. I just wanted to get some ideas out whether they are helpful or not. Do what you need to do to make it better, I'll be patiently waiting for the improvement. Also, I looked in the editor again, and I don't see a Flowgraph button. The only way I see to access it is the Tools->Flowgraph, unless that's what you're talking about.
