There isn't a lib to download, but there is PDF tutorial to download. This will explain how you can write your own lib.

ok no probs glad you got it working.
Just tried it myself, seems there is something up with setting the working directory in net beans. I had to build the jar and drop it in the LW directory to run it.

Let me have a look at it and get back to you in a couple of hours.. have to go to a parents evening for my 6 year old. =).

I just bought this one

It gets pretty good reviews.

Why not just use your xml file but put it in a password protected zip and stream it from there?

The Leadwerks editor only works in windows, but the games you make work in Linux using wine. I've had no problem getting a game.exe to work in ubuntu You can even use Lua with the engine.exe. I have tried Unity, UDK and T3D and I still find Leadwerks the most easy to use. The others have great tools for all sorts of things but I find programming quicker and easy to learn in leadwerks.

Yes the normal map uses the same UVs as the diffuse texture.
-
Do you need to use the normal map in sketchup? If you are wanting to use it in Leadwerks once made you can just add the normal map to the material file.

I have been sick for 3 weeks so not much progress was made until today. I added eyes to the model instead of just texture. Also I have discovered that my topology in places has not been good for animations so I am refining some of the joint areas.

must be a bug

Hi all,
I bought a new microphone after xmas and have been so impressed by the quality and functionality that I though I would post about it here.
If you need a mike for recording game voices or live sounds anywhere this mike seems to have everything. The sound quality is just amazing I was blown away by it the first time I used it. I use it for online gaming for VOIP and everyone who has heard me use it have said I sound like I'm in a recording studio.
It has 4 mike settings that make it equivalent to having 4 different mikes; Stereo (sounds very cool and kind of freaky when you first hear yourself in stereo), cardioid(brilliant at only picking up your voice and no room noise), omnidirectional(pick up the whole room, field recordings),bidirectional(interviews, instruments, vocal duets)
It has an onboard gain control, mute button, volume for the headphone output, headphone output so you can listen to lagfree recording as well as your computer sound.
It is USB and was recognised by Win7 straight away and can easily be set as the speaker output as well as default mike for recording. It comes with its own stand for use on a desktop, which is very sturdy and also has a screw fit to use with traditional mike stands.
The only drawback is this version I have is only USB so you can't use the standard 3pin mike conectors, but there is a pro version that has it if you prefer. It is also quite big so is not very portable and needs a computer to use so recording outside could be a problem if that is what you want it for.
All in all I think it is perfect for any indy game developer who wants to do their own sound production. You will be able to judge for your self when I do some more youtube vids.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm glad you are having problems, too.
Ditto lol. I'm glad someone else has had this problem too. I though I was going mad.
if no LOD's, then just attaching to the model instead of the GetModelLODEntity seems to work just fine with the first instance of the model...This is a major problem for me as my characters like the skeleton require multiple LODs and the ability to attach accessories/gubbins, as the first level is 8k triangles. Having LODs is essential if you want a massive army of the undead! My human characters should be around 5k ,but that still requires LODs to work well. Maybe for a hero character you can get away with a high poly model and no LODs so then it wouldn't matter. I really hope there is a work around or bug fix for this as it is a big worry.
-
@Rick what kind of accessories are you talking about???
I'm not even going to ask
Zaphos plans on adding attachable gear and many textures like some MMO's do
Yes indeedy.. Character design is the most fun I have with computer games, so I thought what the hell, I might as well just make some game characters and stuff that goes with them so others can enjoy putting together their own combos.
-
Same problem with Lua and loading... first skeleton no axe all others with axe. I've tried it with a whole set of armour and the same result first nothing then others equiped. Thing is it is also like this in the Editor. I'm not sure what it is as sometimes it is a different skeleton depending on which one you are close to when you load the level. It must be a bug!
-
Cheers Rick
Got the update for Zbrush yesterday the new fibermesh tool is fun. Not sure if I can use them for my game characters but it is fun for renders.

Just a quick preview of the male base mesh first texture.

HOLY GOD IT WORKS!
I'm glad you did it! I'm having trouble my self porting my code from Lua . It is so easy in lua I might stick with it as it can be used for each language to load assets. Good luck with C++ .
-
extern int CountModelLODEntities(TModel model); extern TEntity GetModelLODEntity(TModel model, int index=0);
These are in the engine.h under the model section not entities FYI
-
This must be why you have to load in to each LOD any attachement you want to add to a model.
-
Thanks for the help guys. I think I'll have to make a longer string and divide it up when it gets to Lua. Or just make more separate messages.
-
It compiles but I can't retrieve the string in lua it returns userdata type. I want to be able to send a int or string as I think it is a string the lua function takes. The value I want in the end is an int.
I tried to send an int like this;
int myint = 1; int * start= new int; start = &myint; while(stuff){ SendEntityMessage(model, "move",(byte*)start); } delete[] start;
I'm not great with C++ pointers so I have no idea what I'm doing lol
-
In lua you can use a string to pass the extra parameter to SendMessage()
Lua: entity:SendMessage( message, delay, extra )
but in C you have to passs a byte*
C: void SendEntityMessage( TEntity entity, str message, int delay=0, byte* extra=0 )
How can I pass in a string value in C++ so it can be used in the lua script of the model. I've been using it without the extra parameter but I would like to use it as well.

Do you use the OpenGL ES 2.0 API specification on Android? Or is there a lot of LW specific code that would stop me using the shaders in another programs? As I might be interested in getting LW3 with android support, if I can use it to test some shader designs.
