[What are you working on :]

@ Shadmar Great work as usual mate..

 

I am getting interested in learning how to make my own shaders, is there any good tutorials out there?

[What are you working on :]

Animation time for fire mage character

 

Wish I could animate, tried several times but it gives me headache lol...

[Steamworks question]

I have just been looking through the steamworks documentation and i am wondering if the matchmaking & game loby stuff is available through leadwerks?

[C++, Lua and editor tutorials]

Project Saturn tutorial #24: Getting of the ladder

 

 

I really really wish you would continue this tutorial set, I know its by far the best learning resource for leadwerks out there..

[reinstall issues]

thankyou..

[reinstall issues]

Hi,

 

I have reinstalled windows onto a SSD and as a result reinstalled steam and leadwerks, the issue I am having is that its looking for the old projects I had before and giving me a failed to load project "location", I deleted these projects when I reinstalled.

 

can you help please?

[FUSE on steam is now free]

I bought this last week, not happy about that at all.

 

That's good for prototyping, i don't like generic 3D characters without personnality.

 

Like most content you buy like models only take a quick blast in your fav 3d app, change the textures and hey presto you have something no one else has lol... I have seen this happen in popular games that have been released in the past..

[Project Saturn]

I am just wondering if the project saturn videos are continuing?

I have found them very helpful like so many people and was just wondering if there are plans to finish the tutorials?

[Publish to workshop issue]

i wanted to upload a few assets:

 

I zipped them up and did a render in LW opened the screenshot folder and used that JPG as the Preview.

 

Navigated to the zipfile, wrote a description and click publish

 

I get the error = File extension "png" is not allowed even though its a jpg file... hmm

 

any help on this?

[How would you go about resource gathering?]

Resource Gathering

I am thinking about resource gathering in the sense of cutting down trees, hitting rocks for minerals etc.

 

I don't know if this would be the right way of going about this but here is what I am thinking.

 

My Idea

This is my idea to try and get it working.

Place a tree on a terrain with polymesh physics, link a script that gives the tree a health value and if health <=0 then hide the tree and show a log model.

 

In the log model link a pickup script so that the log is placed into the inventory.

 

When my inventory is full then you go back to the storage building and transfer the resources to a storage box.

 

So I dont run out of trees I was thinking about something like a timer on the tree that once the tree health <=0 then in say 40 mins the tree model is shown again (working on a 20 mins day cycle and 20 mins night cycle)

 

Problem

With me been new to this (and so many others on here) I would love to know where to start with my LUA scripting, I did purchase the standard version some time ago but I wanted to try to get my head around doing this in lua before I venture into the C++ side of things..

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Base building

I just thought I would share my idea for simple base building as well.

 

Basically place the buildings on the map and hide them in the base area, once the crafting menu has been entered then I can search to see if enough resources have been collected and if so then the the base building can be created, this means taking away the resources from the inventory and showing the building.

 

The fixed locations of the buildings may take away some element of enjoyment but its a learning curve

 

 

 

Thank you in advance

[Droid planet]

Assets mainly, I have used hexagon 2 and some other programs but wanted to give 3dcoat a go but I suck at it lol...

[Lua ai problem]

I have this problem as well..

[Droid planet]

Wish I could get my head around using 3DCoat, bought it messed around with it then not used it since... lol

been looking at zbrush videos and yeah not going to bother, I am not artistic at all.. lol

 

Your assets look great by the way

[Changing Level]

I had a lua stack overflow on changing level so I did the fix below and now I get another error this time in the fpsgun.lua.

 

In FPSPlayer.lua, find this line:

ReleaseTableObjects(self.weapons)

 

And replace it with this:

local k,v

for k,v in pairs(self.weapons) do

v:Release()

end

 

New Error: in fpsgun.lua

[Animation, models tutorial request]

Sounds about right, I think this is the final hurdle that I face, I have my head around everything else..

[Animation, models tutorial request]

I have grown and expanded a lot within the past month with leadwerks and think I have most things figured out, then today lol...

 

I finally got a Character model imported with all the animations, looking good..

 

I looked at the animation manager and the MonsterAI script, my problem is I have not touched animations like this before so I have no idea where to start or what I am looking for or even at tbh.

 

I have modified the MonsterAI.lua script so my character follows me around etc but it would be great to know why and how it follows you about, then there's that when he gets into hitting distance and the game crashes.....

 

Basically what I am looking for is a character see's me moves to a range of me then stands still faces me and does a weapon firing animation, I am having problems figuring it out looking at them two script...

 

I think this would be a great one for a tutorial as most new people like myself would benefit from it, instead of asking the same question over and over..

 

 

Thank you in advance..

[What are you working on :]

Currently working on level design for my FPS/Space Simulator I have started - Universal.

I have also applied for patents, Trademark and copyright for the project

 

 

The SUBWAY

 

 

 

Prototype of one of the small hangers

 

 

I have loads of levels to make (face palm)... lol

[Hangout Summary]

Just updated my review with the 2015 roadmap...

 

Hopefully this helps people to decide to buy.... buy..... buy.... lol

[GUI]

GUI is on the roadmap.

 

Where can I find the road map matey?

[Drop Down list]

I am trying to create a settings menu and I have looked it up in Lua online and it says to use the GUI:LoadResourceFile("Dialogs/MenuSystem.xml")

 

 

 

https://www.projectanarchy.com/guis-lua

 

 

would this be possible in LE?

 

I have tried using examples of lua code from the websites before and its not been possible.

[Asset store for Leadwerks]

Theres nothing stopping you opening your own store and letting people upload there scripts etc.

 

Its already been done by paying for the FloGUI? think the name is...

 

If you have a fair few assets and want to sell them then open your own store and allow people to upload to there, set there own prices etc, if that is what you are asking for...

 

Then there will be two resource types free Steam workshop and your store...

[I would like to use 3ds max for creating a level]

I would like to know the standards and units for using 3ds max

 

char height,

 

meters, cm, mm etc

 

if you can help please..

[I have no idea whats going on here]

thankyou very much for your help... its a learning curve all this lol...

[What do you think the best book would be to aid in learning LUA?]

I have books on asset design and texture optimization but I would like to learn lua so I dont have to keep asking stupid questions.. lol

 

 

Is there a Book for LeadWerks yet?

 

I already have books on C++ etc....

[Noob question about including files]

Thats a good idea, I have another splash screen after this one so that will come in handy..

 

Thank you
