[2 Medieval Weapons]

[When's it due?]

Whats up? Is someone having a baby?

[Medieval cart]

Hey that was quick. Very nice,thanks.

and I even learned to spell medieval

[4 medieval props]

Thanks. Very usefull. I am doing a medieval type game and am struggling to imagine what objects they had in medieval times.

I suppose a cart with wooden wheels would be one thing along with swords,shields and huge wooden catapults.

[login prob]

I am having to sign in enery time I visit this site now. it ignores remember me.

Is this a new feature ... or what?

[Why i can't download assets plz ?]

You have to be an le licence holder.

[Hi! Some beginner's questions.]

I I would say forget python.use c+= or Blitzmax along with lua script.

Any other route would depend on third party header files and a lot more hassle.

[enemy movement]

Thanks puki. Some interesting ideas.

[3DW to Leadwerks issues]

Are you designing your buildings in 3dws and placing your models in those buildings in the le editor.?

If so then there should be no problem ,

[blender fbx?]

ah. Thanks. looks like I got work to do.

When making a third person game it soon becomes obvious that the animations that come with game packs are limited and you need to add some custom ones of your own if possible.

[blender fbx?]

I am just getting into animation and hardly know what I am doing. I have got a cube moving around the screen which works ok in uu3d'

I have put a dae plugin into uu3d plugin folder but it does not seem to have registdered.

What other formats in blender are ok for animations?

[blender fbx?]

Can someone confirm that blender 2.5 fbx exporter works ok or not?

My anim works fine in uu3d but not in le.

[What do you do for work IRL?]

I am a retired butcher.

[BEAST model pack]

Thats beastly nice of you narley. many thanks. Theres a good ninja character at the same website too.Comes in about 4 different colors.

[GMF Static Mesh Viewer & Scaler]

Very usefull. Thanks.

[phygen replacement.]

Although I am not too bad with phygen I would like to see someone produce an alternative that would be less time consuming to use. Maybe something that shows a view of the object and the physics body that can be adjusted with manipulators

[how you do convert art assets for your game]

You can create normal maps in gimp or photoshop ( dot3)

You need to generate mipmaps when creating dds textures.

 

I leave it to someone more expert to explain more.

[how you do convert art assets for your game]

use ultimate unwrap to convert animations to gmf format.

Convert textures to dds format in gimp or photoshop or paint.net or with converer in tools folder.

create a mat file for textures (like this for characters.)

 

texture0="abstract::nskinbl.dds"

 

shader="abstract::mesh_diffuse_bumpmap_skin.vert","abstract::mesh_diffuse.frag"

shadowshader="abstract::mesh_shadow_skin.vert",""

Use genmat to generate mat files for background textures etc

 

EDIT:THere is a gmf plugin for uu3d.

[enemy movement]

Thanks both.

[enemy movement]

In my third person game there are several sword fights.In every case if the player disengages and walks off the enemy remain static.Sometimes I need the enemy character to run after the player and re confront him. How could this be coded?

[Leadwerks Engine game c++]

You can do 2d games with blitzmax and also use it with le for 3d games.

[cinema 4d ce]

In 2003 a free version of cinema 4d called cinema 4d ce came out on a magazine cover . I purchased it and still use the software.

I saw last night that this free version can still be downloaded via rapidshare.

I am not sure about legality of this download but if its legal it is well worth having.There is an x exporter plugin available too.
