[change resolution,antialias or lighting quality in lua ?]

Hello,

 

Where can you change the graphics resolution in lua?

And the render quality as antialias or lighting quality?

 

for the final exe file?

 

someone has an idea?

[GUI Render inner Window]

Hi Rick,

 

thank you, That's exactly what I mean.

[GUI Render inner Window]

Hi,

i am start to wite a GUI Skin Engine.

 

I have a question about Render Elemements inside a Window.

 

My Idea is to create a seperate buffer for each Window.

The Window Buffer has the same size as the Window inner Part.

 

The Problem is that the

DrawImage(GetColorBuffer:TTexture(Self.Buffer), Self.posX,Self.posY, Self.width, Self.height)

Texture are flipped.

 

Or someone has an idea for a better method, Pixmaps ?

 

Gruß

Norbert

[I have problems with the texture buffers.]

hi paramecij thanks.

[I have problems with the texture buffers.]

here an example code. the text is displayed on the head. one has an idea what I'm doing wrong?

 

Framework leadwerks.engine
Import "C:\Leadwerks Engine SDK\BMX\Framework\Framework.bmx"

RegisterAbstractPath("C:\Leadwerks Engine SDK\")
Graphics 1024, 768


Global fw:TFramework = CreateFramework()
If Not fw RuntimeError "Failed to initialize engine."

fw_buffer = CurrentBuffer() 

cam = fw.Main.camera
CameraRange( cam , 0.1, 100000.0 ) 


leer1_buffer = CreateBuffer(512,512,BUFFER_COLOR )
leer1 = GetColorBuffer:TTexture( leer1_buffer ) 


While Not KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE) 


fw.Update() 
     fw.Render()


SetBuffer(leer1_buffer)
SetColor( vec4(2,255,255,1) ) 
DrawText( "test123", 10, 10 ) 

SetBuffer(fw_buffer)


DrawImage( leer1,1, 1, -1,-1) 

Flip()

thanks norbert

[two diffuse Textures]

Hi,

 

I have create a Character Mesh.

 

In my Programm flow I would like change the skin color.

 

Ok, the Layers from the Texture:

 

Layer 1 = Skin Color Texture (small color texture 16x16 pixel) -> which can be changed later in the programm

Layer 2 = Diffuse Texture -> this is the Detail Texture with Lip color, Fingernails, etc. -> this texture has an alpha channel

Layer 3 = Normal Map

 

I have created my Model in 3dsmax.

 

When I use the Standard Max Material, I set the Skin Color Texture in the diffuse Slot and in the Opacity Slot I set the Diffuse Texture,

but only the Diffuse Texture blend the Skin color texture and the rest from the mesh is transparent.

 

 

 

What is the correct mat file with two diffuse textures (the second have the alpha channel) ?

[Objecttable in Blitzmax]

Nobody an Idea ?

[Objecttable in Blitzmax]

Ok, thank you but the is a error: Unable to convert from leadwerks.engine.TTire to TVehicle

 

What have I do:

 

In the viperscout.lua file i have add the SetGlobalObject command:

 

pivot=object.model:FindChild("tire1")
if pivot~=nil then
	tireradius=pivot.aabb.h/2.0
	object.vehicle:AddTire(TFormPoint(pivot.position,pivot.parent,model),tireradius,suspensionlength,springconstant,springdamper)
	object.tire[0]=LoadMesh("abstract::vehicle_viperscout_tire_left.gmf",model)
	SetGlobalObject( "car_tire1", object.tire[0])
                                          pivot:Hide()
end

 

In BMax first (before Load the Scene):

Global temp_tire1_Object:Object
SetGlobalObject("car_tire1", temp_tire1_Object)

 

Second after loading the viperscout.gmf (TModel) after load the scene:

Global car_Tire1:TTire = TTire(temp_tire1_Object)

 

and in the mainloop addTorque:

tirespeed# = -(KeyDown(KEY_W)-KeyDown(KEY_S))*5
AddTireTorque( car_Tire1,  tirespeed# ) 

 

 

and I get the Error Message.

[Objecttable in Blitzmax]

Yes, thats right,

but I load the Model and the lua script from the car load automatic with tires and Physik.

 

The car is ready for driving. I need a Command to manipulate or transfer my TireSpeed in the Script file from the car.

[Objecttable in Blitzmax]

Thank you but somehow does not work.

 

OK. In Detail.

 

When I start the Editior and use the driver.lua then I can drive in the Editor with the viperscout.

In this Script file "driver.lua" there load the Model and read from the objecttable:

 

chassis=LoadModel("abstract::vehicle_viperscout.gmf")
carobject=objecttable[chassis]
car=carobject.vehicle

 

Later in the script there add Torque to the tire:

car:AddTireTorque(tirespeed,0)

 

 

In BlitzMax I load the Model same way as in lua script file:

Global chassis:TModel 
chassis = LoadModel ("abstract::vehicle_viperscout.gmf")

 

 

In Blitzmax I must

AddTireTorque( tire:TTire, torque:Float ) 

 

but I have no tires only a TModel.

 

 

Ok how can I AddTireTorque to this Model in Blitzmax ?

[Objecttable in Blitzmax]

There is no way to AddTorque of an lua script modell in Blitzmax ?

[Objecttable in Blitzmax]

Hi,

in the lua Script file driver.lua there load the Model and read from the Objecttable:

 

chassis=LoadModel("abstract::vehicle_viperscout.gmf")
carobject=objecttable[chassis]
car=carobject.vehicle

 

Ok, but how can I use this in BlitzMax?

 

I load my car:

Global chassis:TModel
chassis = LoadModel ("abstract::vehicle_viperscout.gmf")

 

How can I use the objecttable[chassis] in Blitzmax ?

[Vehicle Brake]

Ok, thank you, but how can I do this ?

I have no Idea.

[Vehicle Brake]

Hi at all,

 

I have write a new command in the driver.lua file.

 

if KeyDown(KEY_SPACE)==1 then

chassis:SetVelocity(Vec3(0,0,0),0)

end

 

Ok, but if the car is on a mountain, it still rolls very slowly ???

And the "GetBodyVelocity" command speak not zero.

 

 

Someone an idea ?

[Wrong lighting in the editor]

Hi at all,

 

I have a problem with the Lighting in the Editior.

See attachment, my models Material (exportet from 3dsmax with Arbuz's exporter and LME Basic Shader) with cast Shadow option show wrong light reflections.

 

Have everyone an Idea?
