Leadwerks 3.1 does not support mobile development.

[Incorrect window size]

This is a difficult situation because with Aero Microsoft broke the functionality of the Windows API to create a window of a specific size. Really. There's a bug report somewhere on this forum with a link to their actual documentation explaining this.

 

That's complete nonsense. Just use the AdjustWindowRect Windows API function. I fixed a related bug on another engine with the code below.

 

//Window
rectW.left	 = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CXSCREEN)/2 - nScreenWidth/2;
rectW.top	 = GetSystemMetrics(SM_CYSCREEN)/2 - nScreenHeight/2;
rectW.right	 = rectW.left + nScreenWidth;
rectW.bottom = rectW.top + nScreenHeight;
styleW		 = WS_POPUP|WS_CAPTION|WS_SYSMENU|WS_MINIMIZEBOX|WS_VISIBLE; //WS_OVERLAPPED | WS_SYSMENU | WS_MINIMIZEBOX;

AdjustWindowRect(&rectW,styleW,false);

[Incorrect window size]

Hello,

 

Leadwerks is not creating correctly sized windows. When setting the resolution to 800 x 600:

 

window = Window::Create("UISystem", 0, 0, 800, 600);

 

A window with the window size of 800 x 600 will be created, it seems correct at first but what I really wanted (and expected) this command to do is create a client area with the size of 800 x 600.

 

Leadwerks behavior:

 

Expected behavior:

 

Thank you.

[Looking for a team]

Im a programmer myself. Im also going to attempt to bring mod support by creating a level loader that can also load from Radiant's map file...

 

Lua / C++ ? What have you already done so far?

[Collision problem]

Try setting the swept collision mode (Entity::SetSweptCollisionMode) to true.

[FBX incorrect bone import / bones missing]

Well , i agree , it should be in some "FBX import" page in LE3 site some details, to avoid each time having new coming people loosen.

 

@bandrewk :

You don't need bones to mark positions on your weapon , you can, just drag and drop your weapon in the scene, than attach "Pivots" as child of the weapon and place them where you need your marking positions.

 

I can't do anything like that since I'm using 3.0 (C++) and prefabs are completely broken there. Bone markers are favored by my artists too.

[FBX incorrect bone import / bones missing]

That sounds logical and makes sense. I was disappointed because it is not written anywhere in the documentation. But since this is an expected behavior, it is not a problem at all. In this case it was important to keep some of those bones because the model is a weapon and the bones were marking positions that I need to access programmatically i.e. "FIRESPOT", "SMOKE", "BRASS". Thank you for the clarification Bolt and Josh.

[FBX incorrect bone import / bones missing]

Doesn't work. Blender is no all-time god like solution. Anyway, thanks for trying to help, hopefully this will be fixed soon.

[Visual Studio 2013]

Seems like your "quick search" was too quick

In short: yes

[FBX incorrect bone import / bones missing]

Try Blender to avoid any problem.

 

The problem is still existent when exporting through blender. As stated, this is a bone import bug.

[FBX incorrect bone import / bones missing]

Hello,

 

if you import a model that has bones with zero vertices (no weight) attached they will not be recognized inside Leadwerks. A workaround to this is attaching vertices to the bone or adding a new children to it. Leadwerks will now recognize the bone, though not the newly added children. Here's a picture to demonstrate this behavior:

 

 

Thank you.

[Exclude paths from auto-converting]

Hello,

 

I would like to be able to exclude certain folders inside my project from being auto-converted to Leadwerks file-formats. If you are working with some other middle-ware software i.e. for the GUI this, by no means bad, mechanism becomes quite annoying.

 

Thank you.

[Difference between Indie Edition and the non-steam edition?]

Ah, thank you. Will there be possibility to upgrade from Indie Edition in future?

 

Nothing official but there probably will be an upgrade option available someday:

[How to create a Metric System?]

Leadwerks uses the metric system already. 1.0 unit = 1 meter. To convert a velocity to Km/h, divide it by 1000.

 

Is this still valid for Leadwerks 3.0+ ? It should be written somewhere easy to find.

[Loading Prefab: Access violation nullptr]

Seems like I forgot to upload the prefab. It is now included in the original post.

[FBX not converting]

It's exported from blender. Ex- and importing the .fbx through various programs can't be a solution to this.

[FBX not converting]

where? I cant see it.

 

I actually forgot to upload it. Thank you

[FBX not converting]

Hello,

 

we have found a bug while importing .fbx files into Leadwerks. Sometimes, for whatever reason, they won't be converted to .mdl files. The editor is not showing any error, quite the contrary, it is logging that the conversion has completed successfully:

 

Converting "models\petrol station\roof.fbx"...

Input: C:/Users/x/Desktop/Environment/Environment/Models/Petrol Station/roof.fbx

Output: C:/Users/x/Desktop/Environment/Environment/Models/Petrol Station/roof.mdl

FBX: Initializing scene...

FBX: File version: 6.1.0

FBX: Importing scene...

 

The roof.mdl is not existent. I attached the .fbx that is causing this bug.

 

Thank you.

[[CODE] Parsing Command Line in C++/Windows/Visual Studio]

There is a command line parser inside Leadwerks. Accessible from both, LUA and C++:

• http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/page/documentation/_/command-reference/system/systemgetproperty-r538
  

[Loading Prefab: Access violation nullptr]

Hello,

 

is it just me or are prefabs broken inside Leadwerks 3.0 ? I am not able to create any prefab that does not crash the editor and my application. My application will crash with the following error:

 

Unhandled exception at 0x0136F8FA in Client.debug.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000.

 

The exception is thrown inside Prefab::Load():

Entity* entity = Prefab::Load("asd.pfb");

 

The Leadwerks editor crashes as soon as trying to open the prefab with ACCESS_VIOLATION.

 

The documentation seems to be wrong too for the prefab class. I have not been able to find the "static const int NoStartCall" member inside it.

 

I attached a prefab that is causing the error stated above.

 

Thank you.

[Calling Release on a source gives error]

Since there is no real change log we can't be sure. Anyway, since I posted that bug report no update has been released for Leadwerks 3.0 so it's definitely not yet fixed in the (currently) released version. All these old bug reports that are not yet fixed will make their way back in here anyway when 3.1 is released with c++ support.

[Calling Release on a source gives error]

I wrote a bug report for this last year. Haven't received any answer yet. You may push it up again:

[Multi Indie License]

You can use Leadwerks on any computer, log-in into your steam account and just install it. But you are not allowed to share one steam account between different people. This is against the SSA.

[What are you working on :]

Another concept is the world- and view-model: The view model contains the gun with hands attached to it. That's what the player sees in first person view. The world model is for third person view, it's just the gun that is being attached to the players hands in third person.

[Just Pre-Ordered]

Welcome to Leadwerks Michael

 

I have to admit, that I'm quite impressed by your project! It's nice to see experienced developers joining the community.
