Yeah I know, I have used it before without a problem. Is there anything special I have to do because its Windows 8? I just get the same error =/ I have had issues with BMAX with OpenB3D and people said the test I wrote out worked so perhaps later I will try clean the drive and try again

I did that, I tried "C:\Leadwerks Engine SDK" , I tried "AppDir", still doesn't seem to want to work though. I am just using the Template and RegisterAbstractPath is the only thing I changed (so there is nothing else missing or that I added)

First off, its been quite a while since I used LE2. I got "Error: Shader file "abstract::query.vert" not found." and I have shader.pak in both LE SDK install folder and the app folder. Not sure what the problem is. Using latest BMAX and LE2.5

Thank you!

*cough* customer support *cough*

I agree. Or have the ability to request it in an email

Ah! Thats the tool. I don't have my key though and its not in my client area. Is there a way to have it emailed to you or do I just have to wait for support to get to me?

It's been a while and I can't seem to find it, can someone tell me where it is? My client area shows nothing to download

Where do I download my LE2 copy? It's been a while (My Client Area says I dont have any purchases)

Very attention grabbing title. This is either a confirmation that the code is not accurate or its a confirmation that the title is correct (though that goes against what I know). Code is below. If anyone needs, I can upload both that includes the exes.

Very cool! i was messing around with string.contain stuff but the regex subexp stuff comes in handy.

Definately, but with things requiring some variables I may keep the option open for not using parentheses. For example: MovePlayerToPlayer(Player1, Player2) or MovePlayerToPlayer Player1, Player2 I could then splice the string to get things before and after the comma. Ill be sure to check out the Regex module

Very cool! thanks man

I am trying to figure out what the best way is to import a user made script into a blitzmax application. I want the application to be able to work with new scripts even after a build so I was thinking of something like (Main.bmx) - pseudocode Readfile "Scriptfile.scr" If Readfile contains "Start" Then Start() Endif Function Start() Local I:int = 800 Local y:int = 600 'Ect' EndFunction Reading the file and seeing if it contains keywords for functions and then executing functions. If anyone else has any better ideas though, feel free to help me out

Sorry for the abundance of questions I have been asking. Problem: Identifier "FreeTexture" not found Variables: Framework MaxGUI.MaxGUI Import MaxGUI.Drivers Import BRL.EventQueue Import Leadwerks.Engine Import "../../Imports/Framework.BMX" RegisterAbstractPath("C:\Leadwerks Engine SDK") I want it to free everything (I found ResetFramework() and I am currently using that) however, I still would like to know what this issue is.

Cool B) Thanks Macklebee!

When I have VSync on The program's CPU Usage stays around 4-6%. When I turn VSync off, the CPU Usage goes to about 50%. Is that big of a change normal? EDIT: On that same note, I think its sweet that the CPU performance is so low when VSync in on. I use "While PeekEvent" in BMax (without any Leadwerks code) and the CPU Usage is about 50% but when I use leadwerks and set VSync on, it stays low (4-6%) so thats sweet.

No problem, glad I could help

I was wondering if there is a package system for BMAX that allows it to read .pak files like on Josh's blog and in examples people have given. If there is one for BMAX, can someone please post an example? Thank you

Ah, the bullet thing is what did it. Ill look into Swept Collision. Thanks man!

Collisions only have three parameters, The first two are (I BELIEVE) Entity Groups in a way and the third is what happens if Entities from those groups collide. I have tried Collisions(1, 3, True) Collisions(1, 3, 1) Collisions(1, 3, 2) Collisions(1, 3, 3) And I have also assigned EntityType(Terrain, 1,2,3,etc with no such luck. Marleys code works though and I am hoping its not because of the LUA stuff

Just tried it, no luck =/

I used Marleys Third Person Cam tutorial and made a Player Type but I cannot get collisions to work. The only differences as far as I can tell is I did not use (and do not want to) use LUA functions and I use MaxGUI(though I cannot see how that would make a difference) The Code: SuperStrict Framework Leadwerks.Engine Import "Framework.BMX" Import MaxGUI.MaxGUI Import MaxGUI.Drivers Import BRL.EventQueue RegisterAbstractPath("C:\Leadwerks Engine SDK") GCSetMode(2) Global FW:TFramework Local GEWindow:TGadget Local GEWindowX:Int 'Null (WINDOW_CENTER) Local GEWindowY:Int 'Null (WINDOW_CENTER) Local GEWindowW:Int = 800 Local GEWindowH:Int = 600 Local GEWindowStyle:Int = WINDOW_TITLEBAR|WINDOW_RESIZABLE|WINDOW_MENU|WINDOW_STATUS|WINDOW_CENTER Local Canvas1:TGadget Global Terrain:TTerrain Global TerrainText:TTexture Global Light:TLight DebugPhysics(1) Type TPlayer Global Current:TPlayer Field Controller:TController Field Move:Float Field Strafe:Float Field CamRotation:TVec3 Field MX:Float Field MY:Float Field Jump:Float Field Position:TVec3 Field Body:TEntity Field CamY:Float Field CamZ:Float Function Create:TPlayer() Local Player:TPlayer = New TPlayer Player.Move:Float = 0.0 Player.Strafe:Float = 0.0 Player.CamRotation:TVec3 = Vec3(0) Player.MX:Float = 0.0 Player.MY:Float = 0.0 Player.Jump:Float = 0.0 Player.CamY:Float = 0.0 Player.CamZ:Float = 0.0 Player.Controller = CreateController(2.0) PositionEntity(Player.Controller, EntityPosition(FW.Main.Camera)) EntityType(Player.Controller, 3) SetBodyMass(Player.Controller, 10.0) SetBodyBuoyancyMode(Player.Controller, 0) Collisions(1, 3, 3) Player.Body:TEntity = CreateCube(Player.Controller) ScaleEntity(Player.Body, Vec3(0.5, 1.8, 0.5)) Return Player EndFunction Method Update() Self.MX = Curve(MouseX() - GraphicsWidth() / 2, Self.MX, 6) Self.MY = Curve(MouseY() - GraphicsHeight() / 2, Self.MY, 6) MoveMouse(GraphicsWidth()/2, GraphicsHeight()/2) Self.CamRotation.X = Self.CamRotation.X + Self.MX / 10.0 Self.CamRotation.Y = Self.CamRotation.Y - Self.MX / 10.0 RotateEntity(FW.Main.Camera, Self.CamRotation) If Self.CamRotation.X > 90.0 Then Self.CamRotation.X = 90.0 If Self.CamRotation.X < -20.0 Then Self.CamRotation.X = -20.0 Self.Move = KeyDown(KEY_W) - KeyDown(KEY_S) Self.Strafe = KeyDown(KEY_D) - KeyDown(KEY_A) Self.Jump:Float = 0.0 If KeyHit(KEY_SPACE) And Not ControllerAirborne(Self.Controller) Then Self.Jump = 4.0 EndIf If KeyDown(KEY_LSHIFT) Or KeyDown(KEY_RSHIFT) Then Self.Move = Self.Move * 3.0 Self.Strafe = Self.Strafe * 3.0 EndIf PositionEntity(FW.Main.Camera, Vec3(Self.Controller.Position.X, Self.Controller.Position.Y + 0.8, Self.Controller.Position.Z)) Self.CamY = 0.5 If MouseZ() > 0 Then FlushMouse() If MouseZ() < 0 Then Self.CamY = 0.0 Self.CamZ = Curve(MouseZ(), Self.CamZ, 10) MoveEntity(FW.Main.Camera, Vec3(0, Self.CamY, Self.CamZ)) UpdateController(Self.Controller, Self.CamRotation.Y, Self.Move * 3, Self.Strafe * 3, Self.Jump, 0.5) EndMethod EndType GEWindow:TGadget = CreateWindow("GE", GEWindowX, GEWindowY, GEWindowW, GEWindowH, Null, GEWindowStyle) Canvas1:TGadget = CreateCanvas(0, 0, ClientWidth(GEWindow), ClientHeight(GEWindow), GEWindow) SetGadgetLayout(Canvas1, EDGE_ALIGNED, EDGE_ALIGNED, EDGE_ALIGNED, EDGE_ALIGNED) SetGraphics(CanvasGraphics(Canvas1)) ActivateGadget(Canvas1) EnablePolledInput() FW:TFramework = CreateFramework() If Not FW RuntimeError "Failed to Initialize Engine" Terrain = CreateTerrain(2048) LoadTerrainHeightmap(Terrain, "Terrain.raw") TerrainText = LoadTexture("TerrainGrass.dds") SetTerrainTexture(Terrain, TerrainText, 0, 0) PositionEntity(FW.Main.Camera, Vec3(0.0, 1000.0, 0.0)) Light:TLight = CreateDirectionalLight() PositionEntity(Light, Vec3(0.0, 350.0, 0.0)) RotateEntity(Light, Vec3(45,45,0)) CameraRange(FW.Main.Camera, 0.1, 750.0) SetSkyBox(LoadMaterial("abstract::FullskiesBlueClear0016_2_L.mat")) SetBackGroundColor(Vec4(1,1,1,1)) SetFarDOF(1) SetFarDOFStrength(1) SetFarDOFRange(600.0, 750.0) Global MainPlayer:TPlayer MainPlayer:TPlayer = TPlayer.Create() If Not MainPlayer RuntimeError "Failed to Create Player."
