[Map not saving material change]

I changed another character textures and again the same bug

I saved to another map name but the material is still the old not the new one, at run time it is a problem or with the saving of the map or model and material association.

[Changing texture impact]

It did not happened with another character.

Strange , perhaps intern memory or pointers problem happened.

 

Thread can be closed perhaps.

[Shader control fading in textures ?]

I know shader as the mix function, but it uses a fixed value we put in the shader for the percentage of mixing textures.

But it is possible to do it throught time and control it ?

 

I mean yo have some character with fire texture and with some user action like keypressed , the texture fade to another ice texture on diffuse map and on glow map.

Pressing another key , the texture would fade from ice to fire.

[Gif support ?]

Thanks Shadmar, why not naming it with a name like "2D animation tiles" if it can play 2D image tiles sequences ?

When we see fire pit we think more of particle effects.

Why it is not on the workshop ?

Dude it's a game engine not game MAKER

So Unity i a super game maker if you consider such tool as not needed or not common used.

I don't consider tools like : shader, cinematic, mecanim, states behaviour, time line editor etc ... as game maker, but project boosters and gigantic project time saviours.

 

Coder and 3d artist, we can't understand each other on 3D engines i think

 

Creating the game in LE3 and compared to some other 3D engines workflow, i just post a suggestion when i see some feature or tool is like missing.

I am not asking make this tools , it is just some 3D artist feedback that Josh is free to drop it or consider it for later.

[Particle not starting in game]

It works but only if it is saved as a new file.

 

If i add particle to the model and save it to overwrite the old prefab, the saved overwritten prefab don't have particles at runtime.

 

Only saving as a new prefab file and it works, so i think there is some problem with prefab saves that can happen at some point where you can only save as a new file name to get last changes.

[Gif support ?]

Use animating atlas shader or if really necessary AVI plugin or something like that. I think there was one around here.

 

Is there some out of the box in LE3, ready to use functions without needing to code it ?

like

 

LoadAnimTexture( .. ... , xSizeUnit, ySizeUnit)

PlayAnimTexture(speed)

 

We don't have that for playing animation effects we could import.

So this is why i asked Gif as a workaround solution.

[Map not saving material change]

I saved the map as a new map and changed the character material to a developper blue material.

The change in the map worked for the runtime game, than changing again the character material it worked.

 

It is a problem with map saving not saving changes at some point.

[Map not saving material change]

I changed the material on a character , in the editor it is the new material.

When i run the game it uses some old map version :

- it uses the old material

- it uses two characters , but only one is in the scene new version

 

Saving again the map, re launch LE3 has no effect.

[Changing texture impact]

I changed only the texture on a mode character and it changed the size of the child object hitbox when i re opened the level map.

[What are you working on :]

Ready for action (thanks tp Blender rigging with symmetry and auto weight)

[What are you working on :]

Player FPS color test.

[Draw image mirror options]

This shader should be part of LE3.

[Stop automatically displaying tree models]

It caused problems when I wanted to attach things to limbs.

We could have the choice.

For me it's a pain, as i need to attach to characters only 2 percent of the developping time.

 

If it is robot, building or structure hierarchy , i won't attach anything also, so displaying the hierarchy just annoys scene lisibility.

[Particle not starting in game]

I made a particle attached it as child to a model that has a script.

When the game runs , the particle is not visible or started.

 

I also tried in the parent script to init the particle with Play() , but it also does not work.

 

function Script:Start()

self.effect = self.entity:FindChild("effect")
self.effect:Play()

end

[Particle bug]

Particle size is affected when they are parented to some entity.

[What are you working on :]

Main gameplay is ok, it needs a fps player model.

 

[Gif support ?]

Ability to load Gifs and to play them with parameters like :

-speed

-scaling

Or is Gif format to avoid ?

[Animation manager problem]

I just tried your syntax

 

if self.state == "idle" then   
  self.animationmanager:SetAnimationSequence(self.state,0.02,200)
 end

 if self.state == "walk" then   
	 self.animationmanager:SetAnimationSequence(self.state,0.05,200)
 end

 if self.state == "attack1" then

	  if self.attackType == 1 then 
	   self.animationmanager:SetAnimationSequence("attack1",0.05,200,1,self,attack1Done)
	  else  
	   self.animationmanager:SetAnimationSequence("attack2",0.05,200,1,self,attack1Done)
	  end
 end   

 

 

It doesn't work good and worst than keeping "self." . Keeping all anims calls in UpdateWorld all just works good.

 

I posted some example , you can play with it.

[Prefab bug with point light]

What happens when you attach an empty script to the light?

I don't know, but i just expect a simple light to not interfere with a physic object.

 

The script is just a physics moving script attached to a physic sphere , than the light is added as child of the sphere.

Without the light the sphere movement is ok.

[Prefab bug with point light]

I have a prefab fireball moving , but adding a light to the prefab fireball and it just no more moves.

 

How to test :

Dezip in directory "test" at your project root

load map "prefabTest.map"

Launch to see fireball just not moving

 

Change fireball prefab of the yellow launcher to "fireball.pfb" to see fireball without lights moving.

test.zip

[Draw image mirror options]

I have some image effect and i need the X mirror version so i need to create a second texture.

 

Context Draw image would be great to have image options like :

- mirror X

- mirror Y

- scaling

Why not rotate ?

[Alpha image loose color]

The image is not colored when it is drawn on screen.

 

Here is my PostRender code :

 

if self.drawAttack then
 context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Alpha)
 local posX = math.floor((context:GetWidth() - self.imageAttack:GetWidth()))/2
 local posY = math.floor((context:GetHeight() - self.imageAttack:GetHeight()))/2
 context:DrawImage(self.imageAttack, posX, posY)
 context:SetBlendMode(Blend.Solid)
end

[How to set up anti aliasing ?]

I have that :

 

world=World:Create()
world:SetLightQuality((System:GetProperty("lightquality","2")))

 

Than search on official API, but nothing about to set up anti aliasing or shadow quality manually , or are they on some topic i didn't find ?
