    try CTRL+SHIFT+Right/Left-click.. at least thats what is working for me... that and you need a terrain

    You do not perse need terrain. You can copy the selected without the terrain but only if the picked location is inside the selection. But indeed if you use terrain, you can place it every where you want.

    I have often thought it would be handy .. atleast when placing mono sounds to see where they would be heard on a map, gets my vote as simple yet useful.

    Cool to have your vote as well. Yeah it is pure mono sounds. Like when you are in the area of fire or generator. Not for constant background music.

    See, it's stuff like this that makes me glad to be using LE B) Frequent updates that address things that we ask for. Thanks Josh!

    Totaly agree on that. It keeps the engine and the community fresh and sharpened for more.

     

    Nice updates Josh. What a relief that the class scripts don't expand anymore everytime you exit the game modus or load a project.

    Also the copying and opening the properties functions are very nice. It is small things like this that fine tune this engine to a great engine.

    Third person camera - ball game example

    When I first used Leadwerks, I was trying to make a ball game like Marble blast ;) I never really finished it, but the third person camera is working plus a small demo level. :o It contains the source code which people can perhaps use.

     

    Please note that this was just a very simple test B) . That means.

    • not the best soundtrack
    • bad textures on my own models
    • you can jump as long as their is collision (which results in climbing up walls))
    • no camera collision

    In options menu when pressing the display tab you can choose view lights. This shows a range for lights. It would be nice to see this als for sound emitters (perhaps other color.)

    Texture turns partially black in editor

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Try it with just a diffuse map, no normal map. If the problem goes away then it might be that the Y component of the normal map is inverted. If the problem doesn't happen when only using a diffuse then you can try adding:

    normal.y *= -1.0;

    right after:

    normal = bumpcolor.xyz * 2.0 - 1.0;

    in mesh.frag and see if that fixes it. If so, then you can leave it like that if all your normal maps are generated the same way, or use -Y in your normal mapping program and leave the shader the way it is.

    Thanks for the help but unfortunatly removing the bump causes the same problems. Removing every texture and the mat shows a correct shape of the model. Problem is somewhere in the texture, matt or shader.

     

    Sounds like the normal problems I had with models from dexsoft.

    What did you do to solve this issue, besides remodeling and texturing.

     

    I'm trying the same textures and mat files on different object, but that all seems to work. I think I'll start over with the model. Maybe there is just something wrong in my model.

    Texture turns partially black in editor

    I've seen this problem before on the forum but I can't find it back. I have a boiler which has a texture apllied to it. (See image). The 'rings' on the boiler turn partially black. If I rotate around the boiler, the black color folows.

    Also a part of the box on front of the boiler has this problem. I tried exporting again with another texture, but the results are the same.

     

    The texture I use is 512-512, DXT5 with mipmapping. I use the following .mat.

    texture0="abstract::boiler large copper.dds"
texture1="abstract::boiler large copper_N.dds"
blend=0
depthmask=1
zsort=1
overlay=1
cullface=1
shader="abstract::mesh_diffuse_bumpmap.vert","abstract::mesh_diffuse_bumpmap_specular.frag"
shadowshader="abstract::mesh_shadow.vert"

    Leadwerks User Guide - LUG

    Many thanks to you Aggror

    Roland

    Thanks for your reply. I'm glad that it helps you out. It is one of the reasons I made this User guide. The community helped me a lot over the past few months and I thought that I should give something back to the community. Ofcourse it was also a good way to learn. For example: I always clicked on V-sync because I thought that this would improve the scene. I didn't really know what it meant. But know that I did some researching I know wat it means. I changed my signature because of that.

    I like the new skin for the website already, so good job.

     

    see this topic: http://leadwerks.com/werkspace/index.php?/topic/1196-rename-pages-to-tutorials/

     

    I noticed the following/;

    when you are in the homepage and you click on products--> Leadwerks engine, you go here http://www.leadwerks.com/engine_index.html.

    If you go over community, you can see that the menu 'resources' is twice displayed.

     

    I doubt if many people will notice it, but now you know it. :P

    Place this PlayerStart folder anywhere in your models folder.

     

    Go to your FPScontroller.lua

    After the following lines:

    --Create a player controller
controller=CreateController(1.8,1.45,0.25,45)
controller:SetCollisionType(COLLISION_CHARACTER,0)
controller:SetPositionf(0,3,0,0)
controller:SetMass(10)

    add this:

    playerStart = 1

    Baked textures in 3ds Max

    in Game Artwork

    Posted

    you have to unwrap your low-poly object before

    So when the object has several textures attached to it and all the parts are attached together, then I need to ad a Unwrap UVW modifier (before I render to texture.)? If so I really need to do does tutorials again. Unwrapping is the toughest thing in 3ds Max in my opinion.
