Try loading the gmf up inside the leadwerks model viewer and see if the material names show up. The main issue I had was the .mat wasn't matching the name of the material inside blender. If this doesn't make any sense, I'll check and post some screenshots of what I mean when I get home.

Yep, makes sense now and will try it tonight. I still think in Q3radiant and are slowly switching to the blender way of things.

You do things in blender that seem like magic to me. When doing the bookcase what did you do to go from the cube to the basic shape ?

Yeah I could see what it was trying to say but I couldn't for the life of me work out how to talk back to it. I messed around with the project settings for a while and got no where with paths. I'll try the new Project Wizard and what Shard posted, thanks.

I have been using Visual Studio 2010 but I just can't seem to get the paths setup correctly. Everything works but the EXE's endup in the wrong place.

Can't wait to get home and give this a try, looks amazing. My laptops Mobility Radeon X1600 doesn't really cut it.

Wow this looks really cool. Is this game being aimed at PSN or Retail release ?

LINK !, Link is a pointy eared elf freak, there are ( no longer ) any pointy eared elf freaks in my game My years of playing WoW has caused a unhealthy reaction to elves ( Night or Blood ). I don't have my entire world mapped out just the area's which I created for my Neverwinter module like: I did start using Age of Wonders editor to create a map of the world which is what my leadwerks map is based off:

I am still tinkering away on this, its my procrastination tool when I ever I think of doing something useful for my game ( e.g modeling a main character ). Also a few screen shots of the cloud dome. The clouds slowly move across the sky. I am still working on a good system for changing the sky/cloud/fog/light colour depending on the time of day.

I find its windows media play that messes up the syncing with large fraps videos. If I play with any other media player it works fine.

Back before I switch to making a RPG I was creating a space game. This is where I got planet wise. The planets them selfs are huge and are lit by a single light source. Ignore earth in the background though, it had issues after I messed with the lighting.

Ah, this was the problem, I feel stupid now as I copied from the wrong leadwerks folder. Have to remind myself not to do upgrades 7:15am monday morning. I have noticed a massive drop in FPS when running the debug build of my game when looking at water. From about 30fps down to 10 - 5. On the flip size the non debug compile is much faster at 60 - 90fps on a full outdoor scene. I have made a giant Pachinko simulator with vegetation collisions and a ball

Heres the simple scene loader code it is breaking on: SuperStrict Framework leadwerks.engine 'To Generate an updated lua-gluefunctions.bmx uncomment the lines tagged [1] 'and comment out the line tagged [2]. Run the code once, then swap back. 'lua-gluefunctions.bmx needs to be inside the App directory. Import "C:\Leadwerks Engine SDK 2.3r3\BMX\Framework\framework.bmx" Import lugi.generator '[1] Include "lua-gluefunctions.bmx" '[2] AppTitle:String = "Basic Example : BMAX + Leadwerks Engine 2.3" GCSetMode(2) 'Register the directory under which the abstract file system will search.

TFilter(1) 'Set trilinear filtering : 0 = off : 1 = on. 'Create a new Framework object. Global fw:TFramework = TFramework.Create() If Not fw RuntimeError "Failed to initialize engine." ------------/ SNIP / ----------------

You mean to create a new lua-gluefunctions.bmx file ? If so then yes I have made a new version.

In Blitzmax I get the error: EXCEPTION_PRIV_INSTRUCTION When running any program that calls: Global fw:TFramework = TFramework.Create()

The dragon looks fantastic and the lip syncing stuff sounds great.

Looks great, downloading now.

I can't wait to see this, your clouds are much better than what I have come up with so far which is just a sphere with a cloud map applied. I have put my skybox on hold now until this one is ready as I can see myself dumping my project to use something that works in the editor

This worked I didn't have a paypal account but once created the form switched to English.

Yep it showing in German, I was going to try and guess it but then couldn't find my country and felt it be best to try and get it into English.

Nice, there was a few that I couldn't translate the commands properly when I was running though them so it will be good to see where I was going wrong. Thanks again for your effort.

Yep its a fantasy RPG. 7 years ago it started off as a original fantasy world built as a server module for Neverwinter Nights. Since my server shut down I had been looking for ways to move the world I had created onto a new platform. I tried Neverwinter Nights 2 but just didn't like the massive bloat that game had. I also toyed with the idea of making the world in Oblivion but the tool-set stability got to me in the end. When I got Leadwerks earlier this year it was to build a tactical space combat game but as I started to play with Leadwerks I quickly changed plans to rebuilding my Neverwinter Module as a stand alone singleplayer game. I could finally build the world in a way that it was meant to be explored. If you haven't player Neverwinter it has very small maps. I spent a lot of time making sure these maps flowed on from each other but it still meant you couldn't stand on a hillside and see the vista. Currently I have a draft version of the entire first part of the Neverwinter Module as a single map in leadwerks. The story which I don't want to go into to much here is about racism against non-humans, betrayal of a king, and a prophecy that tells of lurking doom that is about to return. Typical standard fantasy stuff, I don't even pretend to be a good writer but the feedback from my sever was good. Gameplay will be action / adventure based it will be very open but with a story arcs laid out as the main quest. Sort of like how Fallout 3 / Oblivion worked, you can explore at any time then return to the main quest. The story / flow and quests are all planned out from the module its now just a mater of building the game and building brand new assets. As I would like to publish my game I am making everything from scratch. Things are still in the very early stages and I have become a bit obsessed with the day night cycle but progression is going well.

The rain shader was neat, I liked how it didn't rain under the object. I noticed this in Crysis that some times the walls were leaking inside.

I find the gimp does the same thing, just a bunch of layers and no image. If anyone knows how to do this without photoshop it will be great.

Thanks for the reply's, once I get a few more things working I'll post up a new video with it working inside the game. At the moment you can still see the edges of the background skybox if you look up too high. I'll give that a go and see what it looks like. I have been playing around with really dark nights and trying to work it into the game play but I like the idea of the moon illuminating the landscape. It will give the whole scene a surreal look. Btw some more background on the game. Its a fantasy game not set on earth and in fact the moon isn't a moon. The world the game is set on is a moon and it orbits a hot dead world which happens to look like mars at the moment
