Just did that too actually. Around new years I build a new custom computer: Asus Z170 PRO GAMING Z170 Intel Core i7-6700K MSI 8GB GTX 1070 Gaming X 8G 16 GB DDR4 Corsair Vengeance SSD 500GB 850 EVO I work better in a tidy environment.

Something that has always been a time consuming process is getting the audio right in my recordings. Although I have a very decent headset, recordings allways contained a lot of static noise and voice 'pops'. To get an acceptablequality I required a finetuned microphone placement for every recording. 1cm to the left could make a big difference. The recording software that I use has some build in noice reduction filters, but they do not always guarantee a smooth audio track. Since there are going to be many new videos to be recorded I finally invested in a good recording setup. I bought a studio microphone which could be placed on a small stand which would be placed in front the keyboard. A bit weird when simultaniously typing but I will get used to that. The first recording had a much better default recording sound than the headset. The static noise is pretty non existent but there are some occasonial pops. So I went ahead and also bought a popfilter (never relly bevieved how a simple' piece of synthetic fabric could improve sound quality). But the 'pops' in sentences have been significantly reduced. While I was on a spending spree anyway I also just went ahead and bought a good recording stand, which I can adjust freely without getting in the way of typing. Here is the final setup.

That was awesome! As for the prizes: Lets wait and see who the finalists become. Maybe we can swap around the prizes after some PM discussion. You will get a bonus for recording a winning time though!

Only 1 week left and we have the following (I am not eligible) Car: 1 Firebal69 2 Josh 3 josk Ball 1 SeDorn 2 Burgelkat 3 Firebal69

The saving mechanism in its current state is one of the reasons I currently do not use prefabs. It is way to cumbersome.Also: changes made to prefab trigger a popup saying that the prefab connection is lost. What I notice is that I want to change a prefab more often then not and I have to go through the annoying process of saving again. A button for disconnecting from a prefab would also help improve this.

You might want to send leadwerk an email:

Collision mesh should be excluded in the collapsing then.

Sorry, C# programmer by day. Replace those first two lines with: Script.material1 = nil Script.material2 = nil If this does not work, you send me your project and I will have a look.

That's how I used to make waterfalls. They were just planes with water textures that spawned and moved down.

First off: it is good that you are trying yourself. So hats of to you. Secondly: I would not recommend altering the app.lua script for the following reasons: The behaviour you are looking for is entity related. The app lua is about managing the game loop. The app,lua is soon to be deprecated. If you really must alter the main loop, use main.lua. Thirdly: so this is your setup right: You have a lamp and you have a light. The light still has this script: -- activate light function Script:Activate()--in if self.entity:Hidden() then self.entity:Show() self.component:CallOutputs("Activate") end end -- deactivate light function Script:Deactivate()--in if not self.entity:Hidden() then self.entity:Hide() self.component:CallOutputs("Deactivate") end end -- toggle light function Script:Toggle()--in if not self.entity:Hidden() then self:Deactivate() else self:Activate() end end The lamp model has a new script attached. Drag both items into the flowgraph editor and you can hook them up. You can also use a toggle function instead of 2 separate functions. Script.material1; Script.material2; function Script:Start() self.material1 = Material:Load("Materials/Concrete/concrete_clean.mat") self.material2 = Material:Load("Materials/Concrete/concrete_dirty.mat") end -- Set material 1 function Script:Material1()--in self.entity:SetMaterial(self.material1) end -- Set material 1 function Script:Material2()--in self.entity:SetMaterial(self.material2) end

At the moment you switch the light on/off in the script you can either set a new material or set a new texture in the current material. http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/api-reference/_/entity/entitysetmaterial-r183 http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/api-reference/_/material/materialsettexture-r184 If you post your light script we can help you even better.

I agree it is a 'hacky' method. This has been around for years unfortunately. It has been opted several times to include some sort of checkbox in the appearance tab or something which would be far more logical than setting a mass or attaching an emtpy script.

make sure the csg is not collapsed by setting an empty script to the mesh.

But once you have this, documentation has been improved quite a bit. Great work.

you can change the sensitivity in the options screen. For some reason the latest crashes the game on my pc when changing audio though.

Sounds like you are in sandbox mode. Files get written after the program closes instead of during the game. This also goes for system preferences

Looking good.

Finally managed to beat your times. Don't worry, I am not eligible for the steam keys.

You guys got to step up your game if you want to win those keys.

Pressing f12 switches from single viewport to 4 viewports.

Something that is also cool to do is storing where the player is every 10 seconds. Then you can convert all those 3d vectors to a heatmap.

I would like to see some sort of dynamic list property for lua scripts. This property would be similar to an --entity property but with the extension that you can add multiple entities. Not only would this be usefull to create a list of entities, but it could also benefit for iteration order. The treeview of a scene is not perce the fixed order entities are processed. Using this list we can tie items to an index. In code this could look like Script.gameStates = nil --entitylist "states" function Script:Start() for key,value in ipairs(self.gameStates) do print(key.." = "..value) end end

Are you embedding game analytics? It would be interesting to see what variation endings users are having.

Do you have the patience and skill to complete 2 tricky tracks in the game On the Road again? How to play? Download the Leadwerks Game Launcher and look for the game 'On the road again'. You can select both Car levels and Ball levels. Previous highscores have been reset, so go at it. Play the 60th level in the Car levels and the 60th level in the Ball levels. When does it end? Febraury 10th 2017. 2:00 PM (14:00) EST What can you win? 60th car level to win: 1st place: Company Of Heroes 2 + severall dlc's 2nd place: Bioshock 2 or Bioshock 1 3rd place: Worms Crazy golf 60th ball level to win: 1st place: Mafia 2 2nd place: Frozen Synapse 3rd place: FieldRunners All games are steam keys and are send by mail. You can win a key for the Car level and a key for the ball level. (so max 2 keys) If you record your winning time and upload it to youtube I will throw in a little extra!! I am not eligible for the keys. Happy racing Aggror Jorn

Josh mentioned he would make the game analytics run on a separate thread. Perhaps he will include the steam leaderboard too.
