NIce video gamecreator. couldn't have shown it better.

[A long Journey]

What a relaxing environment. Well done.

[Google Hangout this Saturday]

I bought LW 2.0 and have not paid a cent since (apart from workshop items).

Really? I remember the 2.3 update introducing Lua and costing around 30 dollars. Purchasing a license for LE 3.0 at its release was 200 dollars for me. Haven't payed anything since, but I don't mind paying for a major version updgrade.

 

I don't mind the option for monthly licenses, as long as you have an option to buy a lifetime license.

[AI Pathfinding question]

Can't find my old files on this unforntunately. Searching in the recast navigation API is the only remaining option for now.

[AI Pathfinding question]

The navmesh updating in those video is using small levels. For a Leadwerks terrain this is probably to heavy. However you can do patch updating which is possible in the C++ version. I will try to find an example from 2 years ago.

 

Ironically this exact same discussion was held 2.5 years ago: http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/topic/10911-pathfinding/page__st__20#entry79870

[HTML question]

Are you creating everything from scratch? I would not try to reinvent the wheel unless you have really good webdesign skills.

Something like boothstrap would give you the proper tools to dealing with stuff like this.

[A long Journey]

Hey burgelkat,

 

Just got around to finally trying this out. I think you have the skills to become a good level designer. The maps create a very nice atmosphere. I am interested to see where you are going with this. Always feel free to ask for help.

• Have you considered adding voice to the character?
  
• I did have some trouble where the UI text would interfere with buttons.
  
• I noticed that the atmospheric sound, is 3d spatialized at times. Is this on purpose?
  

 

keep up the good work.

[Getting sound to Stop()]

Can you post your original complete script? I think the declaration of the table might be the thing that is causing the issue but without seeing the entire code I am just guessing.

[Getting sound to Stop()]

Try creating the source in the start function instead of the updateworld function.

 

You are creating the source every time you press F. So when you try to stop it, it might not know what to do as it is not playing either. As a matter of fact, it is not doing anything at all.

[Getting sound to Stop()]

What is self.torch1:Hidden() returning the second time you press F?

What happens when you replace the else segment with the following. Does it get printed?

else
System:Print("torch is not hidden")
self.torch1:Hide()
if self.FLsource ~= nil then
 System:Print("source is not nil")
 if self.FLsource:GetState() == Source.Playing then
  self.FLsource:Stop()
  System:Print("Sound Off")
 end
end
end

[Getting sound to Stop()]

You are playing the sound instead of the source. Remove that line.

 

Using either updateworld or updatephysics won't make a difference for this code.

 

 

You can also request the state of the source with GetState()

self.source:GetState()==Source.Playing

This is one of the best of topics yet. Thanks for sharing.

[Display assets as list]

Ah I understand now. I interpretated your sentence "I have no issue with getting a display list as an option," wrong. I thought you mean it as "I can see that option quit clearly on my screen".

I honestly never noticed the tooltips, so I will have to check that out. Thanks for pointing that out.

[Display assets as list]

I think our interpretation of list differs a little . Currently we can only see thumbnails, but I would like to see for a list like the screenshot below:

[Display assets as list]

You do? I must be totally overlooking this then. I can only set a display size. Not at home right now, could you please make a screenshot?

 

Not sure if I see tooltips, but that doesn't really solve the problem of not being able to see the names at once.

[Player Stats/Skills & Level up Codes]

three hurrays for component based design.

[Animation performance help]

How complex is the bonestructure of the firearms? Although even, if it were dozens, those kind of transformation calculations should be fairly cheap for the engine. Locking the animation update to the refreshrate should also increase performance.

 

Just for reference:

Locking the matrix should be done before any animations are done.

Unlocking the matrix should be done after the animations are done.

[Display assets as list]

Can we please have the option to display assets as a list. It is really annoying to set the thumbnail to 128 x 128 simply because I can't read the name of a script or model.

 

Making the thumbnails adjustable when using the scrollwheel when the assets tab is focused would be a nice extra, but the list display is a bare necessity in my opinion.

 

 

[Can I set or change the File value of a Scene object in Lua?]

Do you want to set the script via cpp or lua?

 

Cpp

Monster->SetScript("Scripts/enemyai.lua");

[Terrain]

Very creative genebris.

[Spline tool: paths, roads and more]

okay good news and bad news.

 

Good news: Once the basic tutorials for Lua are done, I will pick this up again.

 

Bad news: I made this project on my old computer. I always use bibtbucket for my repositories. The repository was not yet downloaded to my new computer. I cloned the repo to my new computer but found out that it only contained a bare leadwerks project.

As it turns out: the code for pathing and beziers was not stored in this repository . Apparently all code resided in a temporary project which I did not store in a repository. Since I though it was just a test project I completely removed it from my old computer before moving to my new computer. *Smashes head against wall.

 

Luckily I know how it works now, so I will have a headstart when rewriting everything.

[What Happened to Terrain Tessellation?]

Never seen that video. Thanks for posting Tim.

[Swedish characters]

I will be honest: I fully expected to see 3d models of Swedish people when I clicked on this topic. Really wondered how you would have captured the essence of a swedish person.

[box of death]

Physics probably just freaked out and pushed the player with hard force against another object. The impact force in the players collision function measures the impact speed and applies damage.
