[Does 3.3 influences 2.5 version ?]

Hi

sorry to bother with old things...

but with the two versions of LE on the same PC /Win8.1 since a month or two some weird things happen

with my lua code.

My lua code worked "perfectly" few weeks ago in V. 2.5,

some time before i try to create a test level in 3.3 (coincidence ?),

 

and now, without any change in code, my AI code seems going crazy (e.g. not working as i want)

my code refers to "math.atan", "math.atan2" and "math.pi" functions too.

 

as anyone have same behavior with 2.5 ?

(am i paranoid ?) no need to answer this one...

 

thanks

brillant idea Rick, hope you get people in

 

i would like but find no time at the moment...

perhaps later.

great move

[Character controller jittering ?]

i saw that from Aggror :

 

Script.target = "" --entity "Target waypoint"
Script.offset = Vec3(0,1,-2) --Vec3 "Offset"
Script.smoothen = Vec3(5,5,5) --Vec3 Smoothen
Script.enabled = true --bool Enabled
function Script:Start()
if self.target == nil then
Debug:Error("The follow script does not have a target.")
end
end
function Script:UpdateWorld()
if self.enabled then
local x = Math:Curve((self.target:GetPosition(true).x + self.offset.x), self.entity:GetPosition(true).x, self.smoothen.x / Time:GetSpeed())
local y = Math:Curve((self.target:GetPosition(true).y + self.offset.y), self.entity:GetPosition(true).y, self.smoothen.y / Time:GetSpeed())
local z = Math:Curve((self.target:GetPosition(true).z + self.offset.z), self.entity:GetPosition(true).z, self.smoothen.z / Time:GetSpeed())
self.entity:SetPosition(Vec3(x,y,z))
end
end

 

not tried but sure it will work

Hi all

interesting topic, just a request :

having a slow motion tutorial in lua

 

would be great

thank you

[Prefab: Water shader for Leadwerks 3.1 Steam Ed. 1.00]

thanks Shadmar

great job !

[Cost to upgrade]

versions are totally different it is upgrading not just updating,

so yes you have to !

[Comparing LE versions]

thank you for precision, Josh

[Comparing LE versions]

Hi all,

just to clarify things,

what main differences we would expect between Leadwerks 3.1 and Steam Lua version ?

beside the LUA only with steam (no exe compile as it stands)

e.g. should we expect Deferred rendering too ?

 

a classical comparison between the two would be great to decide where to go.

thank you

@franck

Yes it was! Amazing land and atmosphere !

Very good job, the engine is clearly brighting here

[My Game Project]

I don't know if it is my phone but video is blocking at 1:13 pity because it is really nice till there !

[My Game Project]

very impressive job, so curious how much difficult is integrating PhysX3 in Le2 ?

can we hope you share some day the process you did ?

How far are you from the "when it's done" thing about your game ?

anyway so much good work landed here !

congrats

[Dead PC]

Hi Rick,

hope not, but from your description, your mother board is dead...

try to volt-test your power supply if you got some 12v and 5v...

test a new power supply that you could switch with a mother board by the store...

courage.. regards

[LE Physics]

no offense here

 

just a matter of saying...

 

anyway i need to resolve myself to make the move...

just convincing me to do it atm.

[LE Physics]

ok then,

i can understand that,

but your assessment :

And even if it wasn't it would not happen anyway

sounds quite a morbid statement,

thanx and amen

[LE Physics]

good to know that Cassius,

the ticket for that is LE3 license, then a scripts/assets transfer and new methods though,

i am comfort in my LE2 shoes, for now

just hoping that LE2 could recieve newton physics 3

[LE Physics]

Hi beo6

thank you for answering,

 

missing or not found, i don't know but some are bugging me :

• vehicle braking command
  
• more stable physics collisions between rigidbodies (vhs) and static meshes
  

currently, i don't know why but my car is not driving straight (turning a bit then a lot after a while) when not turning, only

when speed is high ...

edit: i think it is my car structure because it is the only one which does this.

 

so that's my concerns for now

thx

[LE Physics]

Hi all,

 

some questions about physics :

 

1) is Newton game dynamics driving LE 2.5 and LE 3.0 physics?

 

2) which version of Newton in each LE version ?

 

3) the stable 3.0 version of Newton is out, could we have it integrated in LE 2.5 ?

 

thank you

have a nice day

[Been Playing Far Cry 3, fun game, I have pics!]

hi everyone

playing with fc3 too really funny and fluid game even if you need some fix mods to get rid of the spoiling radar

better after when you don't know what's around the corner.

having fun with it on christmas holidays, cool!

sure Crysis1 was really good but the superman nanosuit and aliens ruined all the fun...

and happy new year by the way

yes the car model have wheels, in place exported from max with Arbuzz plugin
