Cool !

Thank you 

[Tools for editing terrain]

Hello Josh,

Do you plan to add tools for editing terrain ?

Something like : Flatten , Get/Set Height, Square brush ...

Thank you

[Create terrain crash editor]

Thank you ! Great job !

[Create terrain crash editor]

Thank you Josh,

please look at heightmap import, too!

 

[Create terrain crash editor]

Version 0.93 build 378

select terrain creation, drag, right click -> create -> crash

[Terrain heightmap export-import]

So after trying a lot:

i made a terrain 2048 *2048 in editor and tried to import a

*.r16 file : the file is not present (hidden) in the dialog box explorer

*.raw file : file present in explorer dialog but result in failed to load in editor.

then with code (lua) no problem for each file: it loads  (though i think better result with r16 one)

don't know why in dialog explorer r16 is not seen

, so i put my file here (needed to rename extension because no allowed to upload *.r16 ), if you want to try (not a great elevation from 5m to 45m)

 

Total_G_HM.r16.txt

[Terrain heightmap export-import]

ok thank you Josh

 

[Terrain heightmap export-import]

Hi Josh,

Do you plan exporting- importing heightmap terrain ?

It would be much (much...) easier to paint a 16.raw map with external software.

I need to reproduce real terrain, this feature would be a must!

thank you

[Skybox problem]

ok all is ok now,

uninstalled the 0.9 version,

installed the dev 0.91 / 300 and all is well displayed,

i think i had a mix of shader version,

because previous install was not straight one, needed to download couple of times before finishing proper install.

so all is good now

thank you all

[Skybox problem]

[Ultra Engine noob feedback thread]

thanks Klepto2,

i discovered that by myself after posting !

[Ultra Engine noob feedback thread]

Hello Josh,

after toying in Ultra editor a bit, i need some answers if possible:

• Viewport layout : not remembering the last setting
• Zoom in and out commands not working on my side (= and -)
• Zoom limiting at 6% minimum and 5751% max (?)
• Textures on terrain: no UV Tiling ?
• Box object not showing dimensions (x,y,z) only scaling for new dimensions ?
• Is it possible to add a function for viewing (zooming) all objects in a scene or one (entire) object only ?

Thank you for your great job because i am not talking about all that is working good !

Sorry for your loss Peter,

i have always read Cassius posts on the site, will miss the swan.

[Sprite position]

Ok i got it,

simply by positionning the sprite in 2D coords like -400,300

x negative on the left side, x positve on the right and y positive on top side and negative in the bottom

0,0 is the center of the window

thank you Reepblue

[Sprite position]

Well thank you for your time but the sprite was already in the center of the window,

the problem is that i can't place it where i wanted (eg: at top left or top right... etc)

still searching

 

[Sprite position]

Hello, me again.. i try to position a sprite created for head up display over a scene, but can't move the display where i want

here the code i used :

--Get the displays
local displays = GetDisplays()

--Create window
local window = CreateWindow("Ultra Engine", 0, 0, 1280, 720, displays[1])

--Create framebuffer
local framebuffer = CreateFramebuffer(window)

--Create world
local world = CreateWorld()

--env map
local specmap = LoadTexture("./Materials/Environment/Default/specular.dds")
local diffmap = LoadTexture("./Materials/Environment/Default/diffuse.dds")
world:SetEnvironmentMap(specmap, ENVIRONMENTMAP_BACKGROUND)
world:SetEnvironmentMap(specmap, ENVIRONMENTMAP_SPECULAR)
world:SetEnvironmentMap(diffmap, ENVIRONMENTMAP_DIFFUSE)

--[[load map
local mapname = "Maps/scene1.ultra"
local cl = CommandLine()
if type(cl["map"]) == "string" then mapname = cl["map"] end
local scene = LoadMap(world, mapname)
--]]

--Create light
local light = CreateBoxLight(world)
light:SetRange(-10, 10)
light:SetArea(15, 15)
light:SetRotation(45, 35, 0)
light:SetColor(2)

--Load a font
local font = LoadFont("Fonts/arial.ttf")
local fontsize = 36

-- Create sprite
local sprite = CreateSprite(world, font,"HEY YOU !",fontsize) 
sprite:SetColor(1, 1, 1, 1)
sprite:SetPosition(0,-50, 0)

-- Create a camera
local camera = CreateCamera(world,PROJECTION_PERSPECTIVE)
camera:SetClearColor(0.125)
camera:SetPosition(0, 5, 0)

--Create second camera
local cam2 = CreateCamera(world,PROJECTION_ORTHOGRAPHIC)
cam2:SetPosition(0, 0, 0)
cam2:SetClearMode(CLEAR_DEPTH)

--Camera controls to look around
require 'Components/Player/CameraControls'
camera:AddComponent(CameraControls)

--main loop
while not window:KeyDown(KEY_ESCAPE) do 
    world:Update()
    world:Render(framebuffer)
end

Thank you for helping

[Lua entities count]

thank you Josh

[Lua entities count]

Ultra Engine obviously

[Lua entities count]

sorry i tried with scene and error occured:

local scene = LoadMap(world, mapname)
for x=0,scene:CountEntities()-1 do
    local entity = scene:GetEntity(x)
   local name = entity:GetKeyValue("name") 
   if name == "cube1" then.....etc

 

[Lua entities count]

Hello, need to retrieve entities.count

world:CountEntities()

don't seem to work,

if someone knows how to enumerate the world entities...

thank you

[Ultra Engine noob feedback thread]

oh ! so easy ! i feel so dumb ! Thank you Josh

[Ultra Engine noob feedback thread]

Well, i feel very noob when i want to create a simple box, selecting object panel then primitives and box but no button 'create' to click exists

and a click in the scene don't create it either (i did it once but can't reproduce it)

so a bit deconcerted for now.

[Lua emulating SendKeys()...]

Hi Everyone,

looking for some hints to emulate the keyboard SendKey() equivalent, is it still possible ? (was in leadwerks though hum nope..)

struggle a bit for now...

Thank you

[Vehicle tire suspension length]

i see but i don't know how to get there,

toying with values is the way to go and finding settings bounds.

good luck with your project.
