[Leadwerks Extended Executable Template]

Hello,

 

I am getting this error:

Map file version 42 not supported. Update this project in the project manager to get the latest executable, or recompile your game.

[Game Resolution]

LEX2 uses the user's native res for the default fullscreen. If you look back a few topics, Mac posted code containing how to get all supported resolutions for the machine. Use System::CountGraphicNodes()-1.x and System::CountGraphicNodes()-1.y.

 

Where I can find LEX2? I found this and the links are dead

[Log Riders]

 

Hello guys, since I am updating this game frequently I decided to make a thread to help center all the news and feedback in one place.

 

This is my entry for the Summer Games 2016 Tournament, I tried to follow the theme as much I can and this is the result so far.

 

Log Riders is a exploration physics based first-person platformer game, where you have to try get to the end of the stage while without falling in the water. The game will feature more stages later in the development and some new twists to make a dynamic and varied gameplay like other kind of logs, collectibles and secret stages.

 

 

 

 

Changelog v0.4

 

- Increased player speed

- You don't need to press shift to run anymore

- Player is always at top speed

- Added "thank you" screen

- Added total best time on ending

- Added best dev times

- Added a secret stage (you will receive a hint when finishing the game)

- Little tweaks on performance

 

Special thanks to shadmar and thehankinator

Looks very good, looking foward to see the new shadmar water

The idea about taking photos of creatures remind me Pokémon Snap

[Other ways to optimize?]

Cool, what about the multisampling issue I showed?

[Other ways to optimize?]

I agree with gamecreator. If there aren't going to be profiling tools (which there really should be), then there needs to be an extensive documentation for this. The only one who knows how the engine is designed in Josh, so he's the only person who can definitely say where the engine performs well and where it doesn't. I really shouldn't be expected to upload a project every time I encounter a performance issue.

 

Looks like your concerns is the same as mine, and I think the community share the same concerns. Just take a look on the increasing number of threads about performance.

 

Sometimes is really hard to tell what is going now, even with drawstats().

 

Please keep this thread alive so Josh can see that we are all worried about the current performance of Leadwerks.

[Can't update my game - Workshop]

I got the "Failed to publish file" again, but it updated anyway

[Other ways to optimize?]

Since I have some problems with FPS too in my game (is not even that kind of AAA gfx game) I noticed something related to the multisample

 

When I use

self.camera:SetMultisampleMode((System:GetProperty("multisample","0")))

I get 40 FPS

 

And when I set the multisample to 16 I get 60 FPS

 

I think the engine let our GFX cards on underclock when we are not usign higher multisample? Can someone try this too?

 

My card is a R9 390

 

EDIT

Did some more tests

 

Multisample values - FPS get

 

0 = 40 FPS

2 = 40 FPS

4 = 40 FPS

8 = 60 FPS

16 = 60 FPS

 

Multisample = 0

 

 

Multisample = 16

 

 

Notice the memory clocks

[Other ways to optimize?]

Tried to run the demo and I only get a black screen :/

[Can't update my game - Workshop]

Tried a couple of times but I get the same error.

 

Error: m_SubmitItemUpdateResult = 2

 

Anyone know how to fix this? I did some important changes in the game and I would like to update so other people can play too.

 

[Convert seconds to MM:SS:MI]

Beer helps but to to reset the timer just reinitialize StartTime with Time:GetCurrent()

 

Thank you very much

 

[Convert seconds to MM:SS:MI]

Thanks thehankinator, now I can show the timer on the screen

But I am having a hard time to reset the stopwatch.

 

Tried force MS = 0 using a If, but when the if is no more true the timer resumes and keeps going up.

 

Maybe I need some beer

[Convert seconds to MM:SS:MI]

Hello guys!

 

I am working on a hud stopwatch timer thing for my game, but looks like I can't use os.date("%X",0) from Lua since I guess you can't upload games with sandbox Lua off to the game launcher :/

 

Having a little trouble to format my Time:GetSpeed()/100 to something like MM:SS:MI

 

Thanks in advance

[Memory leak when loading the same map]

Sure, it's a little thing I am doing for the summer games.

I will post it very soon

[Memory leak when loading the same map]

Hello guys, I don't know if this is a bug or I am doing something wrong.

 

I am using the built in script TriggerChangeMap.lua to restart the map when the player falls on a death spot.

 

I noticed using DrawStats() that there is a video memory increase when I load the same map. The assets are already in memory this should not happen at all.

 

Any clues?

[Player collision with terrain]

Thanks I will try mess with raycasts

[Player collision with terrain]

Hello friends,

 

I did a quick search and found nothing about detecting player collision with the terrain.

Is this possible?

 

For my summer game I am trying to respawn the player when he touchs the Leadwerks terrain.

 

In mean time I am using a huge CSG brush.

[collision and prefab not working]

Same problem here so I guess this is not fixed yet?

I have a CSG brush as prefab and when I load it, there is no collision.

BuildShape() worked for me but I can't find nothing about it in the documentation pages.

 

Is BuildShape() resource intensive?

[Prefabs not working correctly]

I guess josh is not aware of the issue.

[Prefabs not working correctly]

Anyone with this issue too?

[Water]

 

For the newbies this is how it looked like

in 2009 !!! and why I say he can do it.

 

Also I feel really scared of doing things wrong when I mod shaders, I would really like the engine to do this job.

 

Woa this ocean water is amazing, hope someone port this to LE4

[Needing an ironsights script for my game please?]

I found this:

[Needing an ironsights script for my game please?]

This guy did somehow

 

[Constraint platform axis]

The api reference is always opened here

 

To solve this problem I used Joint::Slider right? or should I use Joint::SetLimits and Joint::EnableLimits too?

[Constraint platform axis]

Have you looked at this yet?

 

http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/viewitem?fileid=641192226

 

Not yet, maybe this can be used to a 3D game too?

 

I think I fixed the problem, but I don't know why or how it works. I used something called Joint::Slider

 

function Script:Start()
 self.entity:SetCollisionType(Collision.Scene)
 local position=self.entity:GetPosition(true)
 self.joint=Joint:Slider(position.x,position.y,position.z,0,0,0,self.entity,nil)
end

function Script:UpdatePhysics()
 self.entity:SetVelocity(0,0,2, true)
end
