[Upgrading from 12.04 LTS to 14.04]

The only issue I had with updating to 14.04 from 12.04 was Chrome would not work due to the update deleting a dependency. Otherwise no complains here, runs very well.

[Leadwerks 3.1 Indie Publish Bug]

But you are right it freeze and a GUI should never hang up while the processing something. thats why we have threads nowadays. best way is to seperate this into some kind of layers (thread for gui, thread for generate stuff in the editor, thread for background nsa logging) so nothing will be stacked or freeze and the editor feel more smooth.

 

Ive noticed this on every little thing in the editor that normaly takes some time or have progressbars. like

 

importing models (editor create own model files)

importing textures (editor create own text files)

load big models (freeze editor sometimes when big files)

 

this should all not happen with threading. You also could write a small progress bar to make the gui more user friendly. IMO the usabillity of the gui is very unfriendly because I often thought the editor is broken or hang up again. No response, no information. Just hope that the editor will response thats not a solution for a good editor.

 

also at the project creation. The project creation (create folders etc) takes too much time and freeze the gui because its waiting until the project file are created.

 

which gui is leadwerks using? wxWidgets?

 

I agree, and while its not a true "bug", it could be considered a logic error. This is my first time using Leadwerks, so I don't know if cancelling was actually a feature in earlier versions or it new and has not be implemented.

 

BTW, does Microsoft have thread support added to their standard? I know they are behind on their complier and don't have all the C++11 standard implemented like lambdas. Poor Lambdas...

[Pro-Backer Question]

So I have to choose between the two, and currently its better to go with the Steam version?

[Leadwerks 3.1 Indie Publish Bug]

The Leadwerks 3.1 Indie edition on Windows there is a bug while publishing.

 

When you go to the project manager and click publish you are unable to cancel the publish command or exit the window and the window locks down with no way to stop it until its done publishing.

[Pro-Backer Question]

Hello, I backed Leadwerks through Kickstarter.

 

First of all, I want to say thank you very much for helping bring game development to Linux and thank you for all the work that has gone into bug fixes and excellent the support I have seen so far. Can't wait for that Intel Backport!

 

Second, I backed on the Pro Backer level, will the people that backed it from that level get an upgrade from the Indie Version to the Standard Version on Steam or do we get an standalone once it comes to Windows/Mac?

 

Thank you.

[Installing Leadwerks for Linux]

This is great, can't wait for the Intel openGL 3.3 backport.

[Educational Use?]

For the Leadwerks evaluation kit may I use it for educational purposes(if it comes back for 3.1)?

[Error: Failed to compile fragment shader.]

Yea, replacing Texture2D with texture got rid of the errors. Thank you. But I'm still having issues is there a demo or a TDD, I can just load into the editor to figure it out and give feedback?

 

Btw, when the C++ scripting is added will we have a choice on which compiler (not the editor) to use (g++, clang++, VStudio, etc.) I only ask because the condition Visual Studio compiler is terrible and makes me want to laugh and then cry every time I see it used.

[Error: Failed to compile fragment shader.]

Hello, I am a Kickstarter backer and I just installed the Leadwerks 3.1 Indie Edition from steam. When I first installed the Editor I got this message in the info/output box:

I checked my Graphics Card Drivers, and they are the latest, so I have no clue why its doing this and I checked the forums and couldn't find this error reported anywhere. If this isn't a bug please move it to the proper section and sorry for the mistake.
