The only thing I miss in LE3 in the first release are real time shadows and Linux version. I need real time shadows to make the game look good, and Linux version to make the server side work.
-
Why not sell a indie version of LE3: the engine only, no editor? What do you have to loose? It's only more customers, more profit. And without indies game development is not fun, it's just boring business.
-
The initial release supports only VS2010, but I will try to get it to work with VS2012 and then later on with CodeBlocks+MinGW64.

If it doesn't animate correctly in UU3D, then it's definately a problem with the model.

Yes

Yes, you can make full games with Lua, if your games can be realized with Lua.

He asked what is the way to go, which includes the most important aspects of programming: maximum support, maximum speed, maximum fun.

I found this quite useful tool to see which mobile devices perform how well.
Sadly iPad4/iPhone5 is the fastest. Can't Apple make anything right, they should be slower than Galaxy S3

The winning GPU's seem to be, fastest to slowest:
1) Tegra 4 (72 cores) // not out yet
2) PowerVR 544 // iPad4
3) PowerVR 543 // iPhone5
4) Tegra 3 (12 cores)
5) Mali 400-MP (44 cores) // Galaxy S2, S3
6) PowerVR 540
Mali 450 is also not out yet, but should be in par with Tegra 4 and PowerVR 554.

There are still 56% of LE developers who find C++ the most fun to code with. Even in the ongoing poll only 5% like C#.
http://www.leadwerks...ogramming-poll/
It would make more sense to write a Monkey (=BlitzMax 3.0) module for LE3, because that's with 24% the 2nd most popular language of LE users.

C++ is the way to go. C++ is much easier and faster than C#. C# is just horrible and should never be used, it's as bad as Objective-C or Java.
Lua can be used for some small and non-time critical scripts, but the main game should be still written in C++. Besides it's much more fun to code in C++ than in Lua, so why code in something which is not fun?
There are enough things in game development which are not fun for a longer time, so at least the coding should be kept fun always.

You need to put a physics hull made out of physics boxes around the player controller. Then you can apply force to the physics hull.
-
Yes, No.
-
You have to set the mouse position variables to 0 before the main loop.
-
Lua, LuaJIT, C++.

Place camera high, and make it point down to get the 128x128 minimap texture. Then use Plot(x,y,color) to draw something on top of it.

FBX export works fine from Blender. But you have to use Blender correctly. I also had some difficultied to figure out how to assign textures correctly in Blender.
Here is the correct way to get Blender models to LE 2.5:

It's part of 3DWS, there is somekind of tool called textureconverter.exe or something.

@Josh: It has been always like that. It's just that there have been no good engines which were cross-platform. There were many cross-platform engines, but they were horrible. And the good engines were Windows only. Windows 7 will still live for 20 years, and by then there will be Windows 9 out which is the successor to XP and 7. Windows 8 follows the flop line of Vista.

I think more like 8th or 15th of February which are Fridays, so people can start playing with it on the weekend. If it would be released on Monday-Thursday, people would forget to go to work and get fired and then they could not buy any future Leadwerks products.

He could even sell 3DWS6 seperately, which is just Leadwerks Editor. Then everyone could buy what they really need, without paying too much or too less.
Maybe somehow like this:
Leadwerks API: 200 gold
Leadwerks Editor: 200 gold
Leadwerks Game Framework: 200 gold
Leadwerks Engine (includes API and Editor): 300 gold (you save 100 gold)
Leadwerks Game Engine (includes Game Framework, API and Editor): 400 gold (you save 200 gold)
Upgrade from Engine (or API and Editor) to Game Engine: 150 gold
*gold is a virtual currency, the exchange rate to USD or EUR is not known.

Josh should leave the Leadwerks engine without game engine specific things, but rather a multimedia engine.
He could then make a seperate game engine which uses Leadwerks engine, that's what basically everyone is doing who is making a game with Leadwerks. I don't want that Leadwerks engine is bloated with game engine specific stuff, because I'm going to use it also for business apps and tools.

CamStudio gets the best quality for me. I never got FRAPS to get decent frames per second.

That is so wrong, it's just a horrible idea, why would anyone in their right mind do it?
DOF and Lighting
in General Discussion
Posted
I made dynamic DoF in GameLib. It's really easy to do in LE2: You just adjust the DoF near and far parameters in realtime, based on the camerapick. No FPS cost either.
