[Leadwerks UML Chart]

I like to do the reverse, I usually start with the diagram and lay out the core structure, then delve into the code.

 

Anyone else do that commonly?

[EAX Effects?]

Creative Alchemy will restore this in Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Too many icons, too much color, my eyes.

 

Just think of my sig as a dead pixel correction utility

[Why is Vector3 a class?]

We have a very good reason for the vectors being classes. I can assure you our code is extremely efficient, and for the implementation that Lazlo and I have worked on, the results are extremely user-friendly and quick.

 

We have yet to notice any speed issues or bottlenecks due to the nature of our math classes; however, if any such decreases or bottlenecks are discovered in the future, we will research the necessary optimizations.

[Unicode]

I was talking about your post and my reply to your post.

[Unicode]

That had nothing to do with this feature request, and neither does this post.

[Why is Vector3 a class?]

There is no difference between a class and a struct, other than whether the members are private or public by default, respectively.

[Unicode]

Working with a tool you wrote, which I don't see available for public use, isn't working for the whole engine

[Error in shader!]

You can use BindTexture. I believe it had an optional cubeface parameter, so you would say 1-6 to pass the cube faces.

[GUI]

I did a full UI way back in the day...

It is basically a C# library that provides you with about everything the Source Engine had in terms of user interface. But it is so outdated, you would be better off utilizing the CEGUI tutorial, or even the CEGUI implementation posted in my Jeklynn Heights code thread.

[Conventions for Animation]

Here it is:

I attached the Vector3 and Quaternion classes to this post. They are from my somewhat abandoned OpenGL 3.0 engine.

[Network Example?]

Networking commands were removed from the DLL in the latest SDK from what I recall.

[Core returning IntPtr's?]

It is being spearheaded by Lazlo, we kind of have our own specialty areas that we both contribute from.

 

Basically there will be two ways we intend people to use the wrapper:

- 100% OOP with no exposure to the Core class (recommended)

- 100% Core with no OO (not recommended)

[Auto update in-editor Models]

In C# you would use a simple FileWatcher and it would be realtime. I am positive BMX has a similar implementation.

[Unicode]

Definitely. To make it clear: I have to cast strings from Leadwerks with an ANSI encoding, otherwise the text is just garbled symbols, which means Unicode is not there.

[Error in shader!]

Only the visible cube map faces? Would it be more too to determine which cube faces you can actually see?

[Core returning IntPtr's?]

You really shouldn't be using the Core commands, or atleast that is the aim and paradigm of the OO Wrapper.

 

The IntPtr is the handle to the Leadwerks-managed entity, so new Pivot(the IntPtr) will result with what you need.

[New Signature]

It is slightly smaller. And about the average post size: There is a set size your post will be regardless of how much text you have, and a certain amount the signature will take up regardless, and I think with removing the horizontal rules I have hit the medium now.

[Conventions for Animation]

It was either Chris Paulson or Roland, and myself, who implemented a system in C++ for inverse kinematics for Leadwerks. The code has to be around here somewhere...

[New Signature]

I notice the skill level next to the Blitz icon there... Should we assume this means "****"?

 

Not necessarily. My first BMX project was Phoenix GUI ported over, and it worked 100% and a few Leadwerks users that coded in BMX that licensed it at the time applauded the code. However I lack experience in Blitzmax that I have in the other languages, so it is a relative skill level

[New Signature]

I like it. I was about to go to bed and then though: "How can I express myself in my signature?"

 

30 minutes of Google Image Searching later, and with a few horizontal rules, and ripping ZioRed's signature font, I think I have something I am satisfied with.

 

What do you all think?

[Error in shader!]

You need a camera parented to the center of the truck, hide the truck, render the camera in the 6 axial directions, and BindTexture each buffer image to get the realtime cubemap.

[Bug Found In C# Wrapper: Vector3 Parse]

We could have a FromString command that would take in the same format as is created with ToString, since it can be confusing, and them ofcourse have Parse to handle the actual engine-way of doing it.

 

The idea is that Parse is taking a working string, ToString is creating a super pretty string to use in message boxes, logs, etc. They are usually not the same, but we could accommodate both for both casting to and parsing from.

[Question about: Mesh Load(string path)]

I don't think Mesh should have a Load() method. It should be in the ctor I think.

 

Rick do you have MSN?

[Question about: Mesh Load(string path)]

I am seeing it. I will go ahead and switch that over.
