[Is My GPU supportet? 630M]

Indeed it really works!

thank you so much!

 

My driver seemed to be too old somehow - updating the Nvidia Driver solved the issue

[Edit] I also had to force my notebook to use the GPU instead of the Intel Chip as martyj said.

Dont know if there is a solution other than using the Nvidia driver(?)

[Is My GPU supportet? 630M]

Hello People,

 

I created a presentation software for a company and noted that the minimum requirements are OpenGL 4.0 and DirectX 11 and Shadermodel 4 (not sure about this).

Turns out that on the Notebook with a

GTX 630M and a

Intel HD3000 (Optimus Technology)

Windows 8.1

 

It seems not to work at all..(neither Leadwerks Editor/Launcher nor my program):

( Failed to initialize graphics. Please ensure your graphics hardware is compatible and install new graphics drivers)

 

Did I miss a requirement?

 

 

thanks in advance for your help!

Hi beo6,

 

Oh ok, yes actually it works now - it took me some time to understand how to implement it into my code - now it works very well - thank you!

[Intel HD Chip Resolution Bug]

Hm that is awkward - anyway I have an Idea -

Probably it is because of the touchpanel that both my "infected" computers have!

probably you can try out a surface pro 3 -> maybe there are some issues because of the higher scaled touchpanel or something

what do you think?

[Use Notepad++ for Lua Scripting]

@Olby: thank you again! I did not quite get it to run but it makes sence so I will try it these days..

 

@YouGroove:

 

I am currently using Notepad++ and NOT the LE3 Lua Editor because I want these features:

• autocompletion
  
• CTRL+Left / Right --> skip a Word function
  
• CTRL+Backspace --> delete a word
  
• CTRL+SHIFT+ Left/Right --> Select a whole Word.
  
• When I select a Word all other Words around (which have the same content) are highlighted
  
• Better coordination of the STRG+F Search (text in search-textbox should be selected after STRG+F -> F3 Key - "SearchNext" should work immediately after I typed the text in the searchbox and pressed ENTER
  

those are so easy functions and for me it enhances my development a lot. Notepad++ has these features so I use this..

[Creating .TEX Files Programmatically]

Yes you are right - sounds good to me - thanks for the great and fast support!

that's awesome! thank you Olby! that is even better!

(am I allowed to use this in a comercial software, too? )

[Creating .TEX Files Programmatically]

Hello everyone,

 

I know I ask quite some questions the last days - it's just that I have only three days a week to develop my customers needs..

 

I need a possibility to convert PNG files to TEX files.

Because my software will include the customers PNG files in the 3d Scene.

 

Is there a sourcecode for saving in the TEX file format?

(or a simple file description of TEX files...?)

 

thank you in advance! -

[Camera Path Smooth]

OK.. I played a bit around and read through your code beo6 -

Isn't the code just for like 4 points?

I need a code for N-points... nevertheless it is a good starting and I think I get the math of spline slowy, too

When I have it I'll write the code.. for now this is also helpful:

[Use Notepad++ for Lua Scripting]

Good evening,

 

As Mentioned in the caption - is there a possibility to link Notepad++ to Leadwerks engine so that if I press F5 it "compiles" ?

 

Would be super Awesome!

[Load DLL with LUA Loadlib command]

ok I will try it out - Thank you Einlander!

[Intel HD Chip Resolution Bug]

I have tested it on two computers with a HD 4000 from Intel:

1. Intelchip PLUS Monitor
   
2. on my surface there is an Intel Chip and no monitor !
   

both have the oversized Leadwerks screen.

 

on GTX 980 there it Works completely fine (no issue!) ! with the same code (the same exe file)

 

the error comes only on high or HD resolutions like 2160x1440 or 1920x1080

Do you have a notebook to test it with a high resolution?

[Intel HD Chip Resolution Bug]

first I looped through the GetGraphicsMode() Modes with a and just picked the one that has the same aspect ratio

it was something like this:

resolution = Vec2(0)
countmodes = System:CountGraphicsModes() 
for i = 0 , countmodes -1, 1 do
  vec = System:GetGraphicsMode(i)
  if math.floor(1024/768) == math.floor(vec.x/vec.y) then
     resolution.x = vec.x
     resolution.y = vec.y
  end
end

(it had the same Issue of too big Fullscreens)

 

NOW I am using an External Launcher But still I have that Issue but ONLY on three of my INTEL chips - not on two tested Nvidia devices....

 

DOWNLOAD Example (works with ALL Leadwerks fullscreen projects)

[Intel HD Chip Resolution Bug]

nono I am creating a 1920x1080 fullscreen window on a 1920x1080 native resolution screen

[Load DLL with LUA Loadlib command]

I already did this .. The two lines of code really work for you?

Maybe you can test one for me a bit

for me it shows the errormessage...

[Intel HD Chip Resolution Bug]

Hello People,

 

I have a question about one Intel Card Related Issue.

 

Summary:

When I Start a Leadwerks Program, the Fullscreen is bigger than the hardware-screen itself, so about 30% of the Leadwerks Content is outside of the hardware screen (see attached file)

 

Download this example Code - change the resolutionx and resolutiony in the main.lua

( note the ball is not in center for big resolutions - you can see the too big fullscreen when you have a second screen on the right)

Code:

import "LEAddon.lua"

Steamworks:Initialize()

--Set the application title
title="AMES Präsentation"

-- notfalls über GetProperty einfach die commandline params "resx rexy" holen -> mit Purebasic dann einfach einen Launcher machen.
resolution = Vec2(0)
resolution = System:GetGraphicsMode(System:CountGraphicsModes()-1)
countmodes = System:CountGraphicsModes()
erg = Vec2(0)

resolution.x = System:GetProperty("resx" , 1024) -- the resolution of the notebook is 1920
resolution.y = System:GetProperty("resy" , 768) -- resy is here: 1080

--Create a window
local windowstyle = window.Titlebar
windowstyle=windowstyle+window.FullScreen
window=Window:Create(title,0,0,resolution.x , resolution.y,windowstyle)
window:HideMouse()

--Create the graphics context
context=Context:Create(window,0)
if context==nil then return end

 

How can I fix this Issue of a too big screen...?

[Load DLL with LUA Loadlib command]

hi everyone,

 

I have just tried to implement an DLL into lua with the loadlib command.

http://www.lua.org/pil/8.2.html#C-packages

they say it should work but it does not

 

Main.lua

path = "c:\\windows\\system32\\user32.dll"
   local GetSystemMetrics = assert(loadlib(path, "GetSystemMetrics"))

 

Error:

"Script Error:

Attempt to call global 'loadlib' (a nil value)

 

Is there a way of enabling this?

 

It would increase the possibilities of Leadwerks and Lua a Lot and it would allow us to make better leadwerks projects so that leadwerks can get more famous and bought more often!!

[Blender not exporting textures..]

Do not use Cycles -> it only works with the original internal Renderer switched on for me.

 

so you have to give your models a blender Material and Texture and then it exports at least the right materials

 

One Issue:

For me it exports Model, Material and Texture but it does not combine Material and Texture together..

I Wish the Material would be automatically assigned.. is there a workaround?

[Official Leadwerks Exporter for Blender]

Hello,

 

Bugreport:

1. the Error "Couldn't find exportable Objects" comes if the selected Object has a Parent.

Workaround: Unparent the object you want to export.

 

2. it would be awesome if the exporter would remember the checkboxes I checked (export only selected models) even when the last export went wrong... (the "export only selected" should be default in my opinion..)

 

anyway a good exporter - keep updating!

[Camera Path Smooth]

Hello forum,

 

I am trying to make my camera move along some 3D points that also store rotation

 

How can I make the movement smooth like in a spline?

 

I don't know much about splines but found this for leadwerks 2:

 

 

How can I do sth. like that on Leadwerks 3?

 

thanks for your help!

[Lua Windows API -- Clipboard?]

Hello Beo6!

that looks very nice!

I tried to include it into the main function after I copied the DLL and the lua file into the Folder where the EXEs are.

just when I add the

import("LEAddon.lua")

into the main file on the very top, it prompts an error:

 

attempt to call global 'require' - a nill value.

 

do I have to change some more?

I am quite new to lua
