[Really simple lua OOP exercise.]

For searching members by name better to use:

 

membersByName={}
.....
-- when creating new one
memebersByName[name]=member
-- when searching
return memebersByName[name]

 

it's much faster than "for" loop in Lua

[Hello Leadwerks]

If you think that your english is poor - you just not seen my posts.

Welcome

[Cube World]

 

Nice triangle count there in camera's frustum

[Isotype]

I just want ot make some clear here in shaders - its default Josh's LE2 shaders, just enabled gloss for everything and little adjusted.

 

Isotype have realy good concept, but not for current hardware.

[Game Tournament 3: A Machine for Penguins]

So theme is not "Machines", better to say Myst-style quest

[FPS in retro look]

[LE2 Abstract Dir Error (BMAX)]

I has such errors when using non-latin paths to project.

 

Try this - create "myproject" in C drive root

Put there projects bmx file, shaders.pak and newton.dll

 

Framework leadwerks.engine
registerabstractpath(AppDir)
Graphics 800,600
createworld()
while not keyhit(KEY_ESCAPE) or Appterminate()
   RenderWorld()
   Flip()
wend

 

It mast to work, blitzmax+Leadwerks2 is very stable.

[LE2 Abstract Dir Error (BMAX)]

Put

 

RegisterAbstractPath(AppDir)

 

after import leadwerks.engine line

Seems like 1st and 2nd place Daimour and Arinthian deserved

[Leadwerks Game Tournament 2]

I wanna see some previews of your entries.

 

Still nothing to show, works with core functions thise days.

[Leadwerks Game Tournament 2]

Alright we are somewhat halfway through this tournament. Everybody still in the race?

 

I actually have less time in these 2 weeks than I did in the first tournament of 1 week. Never the less, I am making some progress.

 

Finaly maked connection CPP+Leadwerks2 Lua (terrible at my opinion, but works seems fine).

Working with main UI.

[How to make Fog of war?]

Agree with Naughty Alien.

Simplest way is mesh plane subdivided to control each vertex alpha (raycasting code).

But faster to render is big plane with 2 triangles and texture on it (here draw to buffer code needed).

[Leadwerks Game Tournament 2]

I'm holding concept in my head long time, so it's pretty clear for me.

As progress - in Editor is possible now to draw concave splines in top view, from this splines automatic generates surfaces mesh caps (something like 3DSMAX Extrude modifier, but with blackjack and.. you know )

[ModelView and Projection matrix for camera]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i think ModelView * Projection * ProjectionInverce = ModelView

If so - you can try to build inverce matrix of projection, if you have it pure.

@Aily All that's important is that you are using the LE API. So sounds like you are good to go with using your own editor.

I am intrigued... You are an excellent programmer and your previous demo's have shown that you are capable of quite complex structures. Looking forward to see your project.

So i'm in guis, let's call it "Solid Elements"

[Leadwerks Game Tournament 2]

@Aily: Sure, use whatever 3d program you want but you have to use le2 or le3 to view it.

 

I mean making my own 3D editor with Leadwerks2 rendering

[Legacy website sections and documentation]

Thank you Mr. for getting the LE 2 wiki alive again http://www.leadwerks.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

 

Hope it will remain there unharmed in the coming days.

 

That's cool

[Leadwerks Game Tournament 2]

 

Rick and I want to officially announce Leadwerks Game Tournament 2 !

 

.....

 

You can make whatever you want: a game, demo, prototype, flythrough, walkthrough, model or shader as long as you use the

use the Leadwerks engine 2 or 3 to demonstrate it.

 

 

If 3D Editors are allowed, I'm in

[Flythrough in le 2]

In Editor's main menu

 

Tools -> options -> Paths -> GameScript -> select "flythrough.lua"

Press Apply, Close

 

Put at least 2 camera nodes in scene (better more)

 

Open 1st camera node properties and in CameraNode rollout Start here put "1"

 

Now Apply props

 

Hold Alt key and press and drag cursor from 1st node to second on your path (creates link between them)

Next do same with 2nd and 3rd nodes and so on

 

Press gamepad button in toolbar.

 

Ufff, it's not so handy how it supposed to be But works.

[Lua and used memory grow]

My best soluton for now is

 

local memoryUsed=math.ceil(collectgarbage("count")/1000) -- in Mb
if memoryUsed>80 then
collectgarbage('collect')
end

 

if used memory more than 80Mb - do garbage collection.

 

Single lag per minute is not so visible

[Lua and used memory grow]

I found that Leadwerks2, Leadwerks3 and my own lua-driven projects eating memory. It grows each frame.

 

After adding

 

collectTime=collectTime-AppSpeed()
if collectTime<0 then
collectTime=60
collectgarbage('collect')
end

 

in main loop, seems like used memory stay same size, but "lags" became very visible on collecting garbage.

 

Does anyone here thinking about it, and can make nice smooth results for garbage collecting in Lua?

[Entity select in Editor]

It doesn't work like that. (I thought it worked like that to. ) The way you do it is by dragging an object from your scene in to the entity slot.

Thanks man

[Entity select in Editor]

Does anyone can select entity in Editor, like this?
