What this does so far;

Add's the fields in the property to add the animation frames for input.

Debugs to check if inputs are 0, will not crash "Unhandled Exception"

Deafults to idle frames.

Needed:

Way to check what the message recieved from key board controller for movement animation

Let me know what you think

January 15, 2010

that one is much easier than the lua site. thanks

also..

I call

group:AddProperty("idle_start", PROPERTY_INTEGER, "", "Idle Start Frame")

but when I try to reference that value, it always pulls the default value only?

object.framestart = object:GetKey("idle_start", "450")

Is this not the right syntax?

January 15, 2010

@Rick..

Using your character thingoid if you assign the character to it, would the character lua code, then become the child of the character controller?

I am wondering, because the animation sequences would be in the update() part of the character script, but trying to find the way to assign when key pressed play this sequence..

January 15, 2010

frame = math.fmod(AppTime()/35,frameend-framestart)+framestart

it was math.fmod that I wanted.

Thanks for your help

January 15, 2010

cool.. Thank you

January 15, 2010

whats the lua for the fmodf function in c++?

January 14, 2010

yup. link broke

January 14, 2010

If you use the project wizard there is a resource file..

IDI_ICON1               ICON                    "le_test.ico"

You should be able to change that... I haven't tried yet

January 14, 2010

Thats fantastic.. Very nice.

January 14, 2010

I noticed when I first ran it, the particles were off to the right, and I had to click the move right button 5-6 times to get the particles on screen.... I also use ATI, so it shouldn't be that.

January 14, 2010

what if you put the :

Flip(0)

inside your if statement?

January 14, 2010

hmm.. Well hopefully someone will post a few hints as to how to call the animation sequences in Lua..

January 14, 2010

So as long as you know the frame range for each animation, you can assign each animation to what ever you want then?

January 14, 2010

Anyone have an example of the lua script for the animation of the models.

Also, does the wiki have the bone names and requirements listed anywhere? I can't seem to find it.

January 14, 2010

yup. The mipmaps must have been the problem.

Thank you.

January 14, 2010

very nice.. Keep it up, looking very promising.

January 13, 2010

I haven't checked. The DDS are straight from dexsoft.

Edit: doesn't appear they are.

ok.

still black in the ModelViewer.

January 13, 2010

I have yet to be able to get any of the 100's of models I have to render in the editor or game with the textures or materials.

I have a character, exported from Fragmotion, opened into UU3D and saved in GMF. I converted the DDS to MAT files. I made sure the file locations were saved as relative to the mesh, and both MAT and DDS files are in the same directory, but all my models are still black. Here is the log from the Model Viewer

werks perfectly fer me. Well done.

January 7, 2010

the original didn't have the property field at all, so it wasn't changeable..

Line 453 didn't really change, I just changed material to Material, to make sure it selected the property field correctly.

January 7, 2010

I modified the Road node lua file slightly.

Open file: Raod_node.lua

Add on line 26

group:AddProperty("Material", PROPERTY_FILE, "MAT Files (*.mat):mat", "", "RoadMaterial Files")

Find line 453 or

material=LoadMaterial("abstract::"..self.model:GetKey("material"))

And change the material to Material

I have not tested this extensively, but it should allow you to change the road material easily.

If some one wants to confirm, or show I better solution.

January 7, 2010

alrighty..

Well I am looking at using the cfg file for settings graphics for my game testing, instead of hard coding it into the start up file every time.

So I would have

[GraphicsSettings]

GraphicsWidth=

GraphicsHeight=

etc....

so I got

GameSettings=io.open("graphics.cfg")
.......

January 6, 2010

lol. ok then.

January 6, 2010

that would be great.
