[PFWGui - Source Code Now Available]

Will you release this library ?

[LOD issue]

hello, josh said that ini files were not supported anymore to set the properties of a model

[Physics Library]

If there is some problems why you dont post it in the bugtracker ...

[Question about terrain]

Hello I still have some difficulties to deal with terrain so here is my question.

 

How can i get the terrain height at the camera position ? Do someone can give me a simple example code ?

 

Thanks !

[Sounds improvements for LE3]

You mean it's allready programmed in LE3 ? because in LE2 exept the EAX command i see nothing about sounds effects (chorus, delay, dopler...)

[Sounds improvements for LE3]

For LE3 i think we need a better "sound engine" with more control, LE2 is using some EAX effects but those effects are not working on every PC and every systems so it's not very good.

 

I would like EFX extentions for OpenAL for LE3

[LE2 or LE3?]

Hello manuel

 

I let Josh answer for the first question and give you some advice on what to do but i can answer 2 and 3

 

2- Yes Josh have some plan to port the engine at least on Mac Linux and probably other platforms later.

 

3- Yes there will be a reduction of the price for LE3 if you buy LE2, i guess we will pay only the price difference between the two engines.

 

 

I let Josh to give you more precision

[Decals on surface from bullets]

Hello Vetal here is a C++ example code:

 

 

TPick _Picked;
CameraPick( &_Picked, Camera ( framework camera here ), Vec3(GraphicsWidth() / 2, GraphicsHeight() / 2, 100), 0);

TMesh _Decal = CreateDecal(_Picked.surface, TFormPoint(Vec3(_Picked.X, _Picked.Y, _Picked.Z), NULL, _Picked.entity), 20.0/16.0, 32);


EntityParent(_Decal , _Picked.entity, 0);
PaintEntity(_Decal , LoadMaterial("abstract::bullethole.mat"));

AddMesh(_Decal , _Picked.entity);

[HOw to refresh LE editor models list?]

It will be supported in LE3

amazing things will happen soon, you just wait

[What is the Final Word on the Blender "Plugin" for LE3?]

I dont know how it is for the others non-artists guys but here is my experience with 3DWS and blender

 

- Blender: I never be able to make any good building after hours on it.

 

- 3DWS: after 30minutes i made a very nice looking warehouse with textures...

[GPU driver crash - plz help !]

I cant help you more :s i have tested one 4096x4096 terrain and 4 textures and i can run it with no problems with the 2.4 version, maybe Josh or someone else can help you to find your problem.

[GPU driver crash - plz help !]

Hello, i have no problems with the engine and those drivers on my side, but i dont know how it is with the LE evaluation demo, the engine had a lot of bugfixes since this demo was built. i recommand you to buy it and if the problems persist Josh will surely fix it quite fast

 

If you have some questions about the engine, feel free to ask

[LOL Week]

Im not very inspired but i love thoses two cat's so here is my contribution

 

 

[What is the Final Word on the Blender "Plugin" for LE3?]

It's good because it's easy but as rick said before it can be good too:

 

 

1- Make the base architecture of your buildings.

 

By this way you have rapid results and once the base architecture is finished you add some blender/3dsmax mades models in the editor on this building for the complicated parts, it's called modular level design if i remember right.

 

For example, a programmer or level designer can make a room with CSG in 2 minutes and ask for an artist to make models to place inside this room. It save time and 3D artists have less work to do.

 

 

On a csg editor you can male a good building in a few ammount of time compared to a specialized modeling tool. I dont need to know UV mapping or crazy interfaces of blender or 3dsmax to make some good things.

 

 

2- Prototypinq a level

 

By building some CSG brushes, a programmer or level designer can do some prototyping of a level without the need of an 3D artist.

 

Anyway it change nothing for artists if they dont want to use CGS they still can make their buildings in some modeling applications.

 

Valve use CSG a lot, Epic Games use CSG, frictionnal games use CSG, Crytech too, this is not for nothing

[what do you want see in leadwerks 3.0]

Josh can release the engine with phase 1 and 2 done and finishing the last phase after that...

[what do you want see in leadwerks 3.0]

3DWS integrated in the editor ? Where can i pre-order LE3 ?

 

This would be an awesome thing !

 

I see 3 part in your roadmap, like someone asked you before, are you planning to complete all of those 3 parts before releasing a beta version ?

[what do you want see in leadwerks 3.0]

Question1: Will it be possible to convert models, textures like before with tools or everything is going to be in the editor ? Because the actual tools are pretty usefull to make some batch for converting multiple models/ textures.

[what do you want see in leadwerks 3.0]

Having a day/night cycle in the editor like crysis sandbox did would be great XD.

 

But this is important that if a programmer want to do his own day/night cycle he can do it with no problems and the daynight cycle of the engine can be disabled

[what do you want see in leadwerks 3.0]

Those are not primitives. That's CSG modeling. I would kill to have THAT in the editor.

 

I would kill to have that too Josh are you planning something like this ?

[SBX with properties from INI file.]

Hello Andy, Josh said that he was going to remove this feature so i guess this is not a bug.

[sound range problem]

Hello Your sound must be in mono to work corectly with the sound spatialization

[CreateDecal() ...]

Hum i tried in C++ few days ago and i was unable to get it working, Josh can you take a look please, we really need to get decals working
