Loading A Scene

[Josh]

2.3 is the same as 2.28, with extra features. There isn't a new way to render water because it hasn't changed.

Really? I thought (and have seen) that everything loads through Lua script now.

How do I load water? The old ProcessScene didn't have anything for water.

Then you are in the same boat as before. The problem is getting Lua and C++ to interact. Right now you have limited means to do this. This can be improved if I add the following:

 

-Add a command to retrieve the Lua state (virtual machine) from a world.

-Expose the entire Lua command set in the DLL.

 

Then you can call framewerk and your own C++ commands from Lua.

The old ProcessScene was pretty basic. You will have to parse the waterplane entity for it attributes, then setup the water in your code. As mentioned before on this thread, "the only things it won't do in C++ is the waterplane and skybox as far as I know. The Tutorial is old. From 2.26 on I wrote my own process scene function. Now in 2.3 only a few things would need parsing seperately from the LoadScene command."
