Thanks. Removing the .meta files worked.

Door.

[Publish error]

Trying to publish a zipped model but getting the error jpg not allowed. .zip contents in screenshot. Something simple I missed maybe?

[How to use *.fx-Shader files (created with the ShaderTool on Steam)]

How do I export to LeadWerks?

Hi. Create an OpenGL project. In your new workspace open the context menu (right-click), select Effects and then LeadwerksEffect. Have fun and enjoy ShaderTool

[Font sizes]

I used something like this in Cuber. Hopefully it will help Really wish the forum wouldn't mess up the code.

 

edit: the site changes window.Titlebar and window.Fullscreen. The w should be uppercase. :/

[how to use for loop in Update function properly ?]

Typo?

 

if n==maxEnemies then

[menu for parent / unparent]

Norton/Windows commander style.

[Editor window position]

It would be nice if the script editor remembered which monitor it's on and the window size. Every time I start LE I have to drag it over and resize it because I spread it across monitor 2 and 3 and that can be quite often when it exits from errors.

 

Also if it's possible, have the game run on the monitor the LE editor is on, or a command to select the monitor.

[Allign camera to object vector3]

maybe this?

 

self.vector = self.entity:GetPosition(true) - self.entity2:GetPosition(true)

self.camera:AlignToVector(self.vector:Normalize(),2)

[weird rainbow effects in distance]

Yes, Cuber is purdy now ;p

[Created NPC'S can't be killed and other issues]

Try opening \Scripts\Objects\Weapons\FPSGun.lua and change line 286 to

if self.entity.world:Pick(bullet.position,bullet.position+travel,pickinfo,0,true) then

[Terrain on Low Settings is Blurred after Beta Update]

I get this

 

error(#277) Symbol "texturerange" usage doesn't match between two stages

error(#275) Symbol "texturerange" is defined with 2 different types between two stages

error(#277) Symbol "texturerange" usage doesn't match between two stages

error(#275) Symbol "texturerange" is defined with 2 different types between two stages

 

edit:created new project. Terrain is fine. Don't know why it does this. Guess I'll start over.

[Help with trip wires.]

I played with it and came up with this. Set up for the workshop turret with standard materials for the laser. Can now select constant rotate CW and rotate CCW and set turret at any angle. Laser center pivot removed(not needed). Create a child pivot for the muzzle called muzzle. Fun stuff!

 

edit: Josh' effects from the following post added and tweaked a bit. No default spark material but default tracer works pretty well. Adjusted flare's position so it comes out a bit.

laser.lua

[For the love of me, it won't work :(]

Took a quick look and found just a few settings to change

[Fuse ~ Mixamo Model - how can i import .fbx mesh and animations to leadwerks ?]

The way that worked for me is to download each animation separately _with_ the model included in each one. It's a lot more to download though.

[Ragdolls disappearing]

Ooh thanks for the idea!

[Ragdolls disappearing]

No, but it would be nice to have built-in support.

[Ragdolls disappearing]

I'll try that after work. Interesting what happens now though. The hull and AABB just get knocked away with the bullet impact.

 

edit: Hmm if I just set health to 0 they still fly away.

 

edit2: Thanks Shadmar! That did it!

[Ragdolls disappearing]

Thanks for those commands. After the model's in ragdoll mode the collision hull keeps going to the next waypoint lol. With BoxesMode it's hard to tell as they all move around with the camera. Disabling culling doesn't help. I'll investigate later when I have some more time.

[Ragdolls disappearing]

Thanks Shadmar but there's no change after updating every loop.

[Ragdolls disappearing]

Anyone have any idea why my ragdolls disappear when viewed at certain angles? Sometimes they can't be seen at all.

[Cuber - game title screen]

Was going to but still needs too much work.

[Cuber - game title screen]

Thought I'd post a video of the title screen I made today for my game Cuber. Build your block base during the countdown and be ready when _they_ arrive!

 

[z-sort in beta version]

Early on I tested 15000 cubes @ 45fps

[z-sort in beta version]

Was playing with Shadmar's day/night cycle. Switching between z-sort and not.

Z-sort needs to be disabled for the muzzleflash issue. So the issue is not z-sort, but without it.

I like pink but lol

 

edit: blocks are no longer disappearing. Went back to non-beta but the above issue still exists.
