[Can't push other characters]

But what would happen if 1 object would push another object from it's path? (I mean it takes more code to make it work)

If they are just have rails to move - they don't use any brain to bypass obstacles.

Actually same with NAV meshes, as much as I know (Maybe I'm wrong, it's possible) they don't check anything on their way.

 

But yeah, I guess it's not that hard to make them get directions again once something changed their old direction.

[Export Options]

What are you talking about? You can export map as .obj? o.o

[Can't push other characters]

I guess NPCs can move everything movable on their way if they can collide? Cause if you would do a terrain and make a nav mesh, and after you would make a wall between the nav mesh, NPC would just go through. So I guess you have to edit AI file.

[Any way to change light type?]

Ok, I did something. CTRL+A, cast shadows: none. It gave like +200-300% FPS, so, yeah, I guess that's maybe what I wanted.

[Any way to change light type?]

Ah, I see.

You should use black fog to make it look like the screenshot above.

I'm pretty sure Shadmar has made a fog shader you can use.

 

Yes, but I guess fog will not help me with alternative shadows. Did someone made vertex shadows, or... something? I don't know much about shadows, all that I know that they are expensive as hell!

[Any way to change light type?]

So... You want light, but don't want light.

And you want colored light, but don't want colored light.

I'm confused O.o

Is it emissive materials you're after, so it only affects the torches?

 

Aww. sorry for my bad english! I'm trying to explain. I need something for player to say: "Hey, it's cave, but it has torches", and in the same time I don't want to use pixel-light, cause it's too expensive!

[Any way to change light type?]

I don't actually need light, cause I have bright ambient light, but in some places I need to have orange, blue, green etc light. I don't want to color walls, cause it's weird if torches would paint all the cave's rocks into orange. Any ideas?

 

Or, maybe, I really should remove all the light from my game, but I have no idea how to make it looks like this:

 

With bright ambient light all I have is this:

 

 

Don't look at FPS! It's fine in game, screenshot just was made at map-initialization, so it's fine!

[Any way to change light type?]

I don't want to use such heavy pixel-light, but I need light sources to have torches (orange light), what should I do?

[Movement speed & animation speed of walking]

I guess not. Just try to spawn 5 models with run animation and choose different speed for every of them and see what's mroe realistic.

[Map compiler.]

The problem was your point lights had large ranges and had occlusion culling disabled.

Yup, true.

[Leadwerks editor crashing and fps drops in game]

Wow thank you. That really helped a lot.

 

Outdoor areas you saw was just there because map is not complete. I'm not planning to add any outdoor areas yet.

I'm just adding walls in the very last moment, cause firstly I want to create topology of the map.

Thank you again for the help.

 

***By the way, if you really liked my map - you should play King's Field 1 in US/EU or King's Field 2 in JP (It's the same game), cause this is my source inspiration.

[Map compiler.]

You can put 20 light sources but you will need to be mindful of how many are creating dynamic shadows. Constantly updating realtime shadows from multiple pointlights will drop framerate dramatically.

 

But what am I suppose to do? How are you guys lightening scenes?

[Map compiler.]

Cause I have no idea how else I can put at least 20 light sources. Without map compiler, I guess this engine is good only for open-space games.

[Still no Fog?]

If you want to hack in your own fog, add this to the bottom of all fragment shaders you use just before } to add fog.

 

vec4 fog=vec4(1,1,1,0.05); // R,G,B,strength
#define LOG2 1.442695
float z = gl_FragCoord.z / gl_FragCoord.w;
float fogFactor = clamp(exp2(-fog.w*fog.w*z*z*LOG2),0.0,1.0);
gl_FragColor = mix(vec4(fog.xyz,1.0), gl_FragColor, fogFactor);

 

For terrain :

 

terrain.shader, just before gl_FragData[0] = outcolor; add :

 

vec4 fog=vec4(1,1,1,0.05); // R,G,B,strength
#define LOG2 1.442695
float z = gl_FragCoord.z / gl_FragCoord.w;
float fogFactor = clamp(exp2(-fog.w*fog.w*z*z*LOG2),0.0,1.0);
outcolor = mix(vec4(fog.xyz,1.0), outcolor, fogFactor);

 

A more elegant way would be to add vec4 fog as a uniform and send color and density from your app using SetVec4

 

 

EDIT: sorry Andy if I'm also derailing your post.

 

I have a black screen when I put this to ambientlight.shares. I guess it's no more working? :c

[Leadwerks editor crashing and fps drops in game]

You could try to reduce the camera range. Just make sure any long/large areas don't get cut off.

It's still doesn't work well. Standart is 1000, even with 30 it's still really laggy.

[Leadwerks editor crashing and fps drops in game]

I tried to make all my textures 256x256 instead of 2048x2048 - it doesn't make any difference.

 

Then I tried to disable all my light sources (~20 total) and it gives me from 16-60 FPS up to 200-400 FPS.

 

I'd tried to make everything in the scene to Medium draw distance instead of Max and and got 25-80 FPS.

 

So, any ideas?

[Leadwerks editor crashing and fps drops in game]

Screenshots with statistics. I'm gonna PM you, Josh.

[Leadwerks editor crashing and fps drops in game]

Video example of lags. You can see my specs in description.

[Can't start my project with .exe file.]

Ok i'd launched it from administrator name and it's launched. But now I have another problem with FPS. Here: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/14175-leadwerks-editor-crashing-and-fps-drops-in-game/

[Can't start my project with .exe file.]

I'd tried to build it with Visual Studio 2013 Express, it build it. But when I launch it - I has this zombie processes and can't even kill them. Of course, game doesn't launching.

 

[Leadwerks editor crashing and fps drops in game]

I have FPS drops on my game when watching to center of the map.

 

Once my map become "big" actually it's not, but it's no more "demo-sized" and more than maps in Half-Life 1, Editor sometimes freezes and then only way is to kill the program.

 

How is the render works? Is there any special triggers for non-render zones or do I have to paint outside walls into invisible like in Source Engine?

[Why don't I see weapon prefabs in game?]

self.entity:Hide()

 

changed to

 

self.entity:Show()

 

Now it's fine.

[Why don't I see weapon prefabs in game?]

I'm trying here to make picking up weapons possible, but I've encounter soem problems, one of them - I dont' see weapon prefabs in game.

 

I can see them in editor. What special in them?

[Shifting textures]

Well I jsut pressed ctrl+a, choosed face instrument and pressed C on the right side of screen.

[Shifting textures]

You can adjust textures by selecting the face. Check out the "Painting Brush Faces" section in this tutorial:
