[LE3D GUI Support]

You can use awesomium for this.

[LE.NET-2.43.0.0b.zip]

When you create a project with the Leadwerks builder in the SDK you area already using the C# files

 

Ah thanks.

Have been away from forums for a while.

[LE.NET-2.43.0.0b.zip]

Is this file still somewhere? File seems to be missing.

[SetFont Speed]

There is no bug. You are trying to load the standard LE font, Arial9, using the abstract path. If you looked at your console log, you will see its not being loaded. And since your code is constantly trying to set a font that is not there, its bogging down the whole process. You need to use the 'incbin::' call to grab LE's embedded font.

 

RegisterAbstractPath("")
Graphics(400,300)
fw=CreateFramework()
font1 = LoadFont("incbin::Arial9")
font2 = LoadFont("abstract::ComicSans_24_Bold_Italic_Shadow")
while AppTerminate()==0 do

fw:Update()
fw:Render()

SetBlend(1)
DrawText("Standard LE font",0,60)
SetFont(font2)
DrawText("Custom Font",0,100)
SetFont(font1)
SetBlend(0)
Flip(0)
end

 

ComicSans_24_Bold_Italic_Shadow.zip

 

 

Ahh. lol. Stupid me.

 

Thanks.

[SetFont Speed]

I think it's a bug in the Lua interface, since it works fast in C++.

 

Is this something Josh will look into or can I forget about using different fonts in lua?

[SetFont Speed]

You don't need to use SetFont() in each frame, do it only once before the main loop (or once when switching the font inside the main loop).

 

What if I draw text for the hud or text above an enemy in various fonts?

In this example it seems useless to set font each loop, but in my app I draw different text in different fonts in the same loop.

[SetFont Speed]

I am having issues setting the fonts with regards to framerate.

It seems that using SetFont even when the fonts are preloaded slows the system down to 1 or 2 framerates.

How else would I get around changing fonts when I need to draw text using different fonts in 1 pass through of the code?

 

Here is an example setting the font to the default each loop.

In my code I need to change font in various locations, but this simple sample shows the issue.

I get about 2 frames per second with this sample.

 

Not sure if just a lua issue or not.

 

require("Scripts/constants/keycodes")

RegisterAbstractPath("")

if Graphics(1360,768,0,60,0)==0 then
Notify("Failed to set graphics mode.", 1)
return
end

fw=CreateFramework() 
if fw==nil then 
       Notify("Failed to initialize engine.",1) 
       return 
end 

SetGlobalObject("framewerk",fw) 

font_arial9 = LoadFont("abstract::Arial9")

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
while KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE) == 0 do

fw:Update()
fw:Render()

SetBlend(1)
SetFont(font_arial9)
DrawText("test 1", 0, 40)
SetBlend(0)

Flip(0)

end

[2.32r4 still no go.]

Not updated here either.

I downloaded the 2.32r4 installer (http://leadwerks.com/werkspace/index.php?/files/file/145-leadwerks-engine-sdk-232/) and did a new install.

I ran the updater and it updated almost everything, which made me think that it was reverting it to the previous version.

 

Is there a new SDK Updater?

 

Here is an image of the update I did today which only updated 1 file and a view of my version.txt.

 

 

I think the SDK Installer I used reverted it to the previous version?

 

EDIT : Nevermind. I got the updated installer. Testing now.

[Mesh Default Height]

Is it possible to have a setting for the default height at which meshes are placed.

 

What I mean is the meshes that you paint, not placing individual models.

 

This way I could set them at a negative value and eliminate the issue where some trees have their base above the terrain on slopes.

 

Not sure if this is a simple change to your engine.

Can be a global setting that is applied to all meshes or individual mesh entries. Either way would work for me.

 

Attaching an example of what I mean.

[Miscrosoft Visual Studio 2010 and C++0x]

Yes I did, the title says it

Works just fine.

 

Cool. I'll give it a go then. Thanks.

[Miscrosoft Visual Studio 2010 and C++0x]

Has anyone tested this version with Leadwerks?

I have upgraded my pc and want to install this version, but need some input first.

[DEXSOFT Packs]

Yeah. I got UU3d Pro, but I am a programmer first, so was kinda hoping not to have to dig into that, but I guess I will have a play then cutting up the image.

 

Image is 50/50 so easy to cut it and make 2.

 

Murphy's Law I would choose the first one to convert that has an issue from 150 odd models I bought. lol.

 

Thanks for help tho guys.

[DEXSOFT Packs]

All my trees from Dexsoft packs came with two textures .. one for the trunk and one for the leaves, so I'm not quite sure whats going on there. They sometimes provide an image of the whole tree to be used as a billboard for the final LOD.

 

 

I bought the vegetation pack 1. http://www.dexsoft-games.com/bundles/vegetation1.html

 

This is what I got as an example of oak2 folder.

The file oak1_c.tga is the full texture and when converting using obj2gmf it produces 1 surface looking for oak1_c.mat

 

Also I notice if I convert using obj2gmf the tree is on it's side in the scene in model viewer, but correct when converting the fbx versions.

 

Seems that some trees do have 2 textures, but others not.

Not sure if others have come across these trees yet then I guess.

[LUAC.EXE and Anti Virus]

Seems that the luac.exe has been flagged by Zone Alarm.

Everytime I update, my antivirus quarantines this file and I therefore am pretty screwed.

I have read 1 other post on the web that another person has this issue with another 3d app that uses luac.exe and avg anti virus.

 

Anyone else had this?

 

[DEXSOFT Packs]

How did you guys convert vegetation packs?

The trees seem to have a single texture.

I can convert these models ok to gmf, but with a single texture, the object doesn't work correctly as the shaders for the trunk and branchs need to be different.

 

Is this the case?

 

Do I need to split it somehow?
