  1. as a hobbyist the question for me is whats in it for me with regard to le 3.I don't need to program for lower end computers and have no interest in developing for other platforms.Also I have barely touched on all the functions available in the le 2 api.What is in version 3 for the hobbyist?

    Also will there still be much discussion on the forum about le 2 once le 3 comes out, or will it become a backwater?

    Can someone list the advantages of upgrading.

     

    ps I probably will anyway.

  2. Your main program can be written in c++ while lua can be used on a per object basis. You can use lua to alter a lights intensity and color and range etc. You can reference objects placed in the editor in your c++ program and make them perform in any way you like. Its great. You do not need ultimate unwrap but its nice to have.

  3. I would ditch milkshape cos its not very good and go for 3dws for buildings and ac3d for models.Blender is very good if you take the time to learn it. I find the Blender video tutorals hard to follow partly because they go too quick and the accent of the narrater is hard to understand, but by poking around on my own for 30 minutes every night I have learned a lot about blender.

  4. There was an ambient light bug in le 2.4. Josh knows about it but I am not sure if he fixed it. It doesn't occur when a directional light is present so will mostly only be noticed in interior levels.

  5. Blender is for masochists. I learned 3dws in a couple of nights without reading the help files which were not much help anyway, but I had previously used the map builder in Quill 3d which worked in a similar way to 3dws.

  6. Also when I select an object in the editor it turns black instead of red. If I install a new light (pointlight) it seems to work ok.This only happens in my existing map. When I start a new one everything works fine.Looks like I am going to have to do all the lighting again.
