How long until you get the Top Secret Tesselated Toad Tech? 😁

One should also note that there are basically two different Debugging modes: The option you changed affects only the Code Generation process. This means that the Debug version will set some compiler flags, which might enable some runtime checks in the libraries that were included and it also might disable binary optimizations. However, independent of whether you compiled a Release or a Debug version, you can start your executable with a debugger attached or without one. The debugger running on the release version will usually not give you as useful results as on the Debug version, as the Release version might optimize your code by removing some variables or unnecessary code. However, it is still possible to debug the release version and set breakpoints etc. So for maximum performance you should switch to Release version and then choose "start without debugging" (in the debug-menu)

You can not 100% protect the game files. You can only make it hard enough for an attacker to eventually give up and lose interest in deobfuscating what you did. The reason, why it is not possible to protect the files is that the pc must be able to execute and therefore decrypt your files and an attacker can simply e.g. attach a debugger to your program and read the contents from memory or reverse engineer the decryption-process. For this reason, one option for an attacker to cheat is by simply modifying the game files. For multiplayer games, an attacker can actually simply send data to the players / the server, without even touching your game files, if they figure out the protocol you are using. They can learn about your protocol e.g. by simply analyzing networking-dumps. The other party does not have any possibility to check that the data was sent from your program and not from any other program capable of sending networking-packets.

Why would the server do that? It should instead just tell the client the correct current state, the client takes this state as the new truth (it might use some smoothing operations, so the objects don't flip around) and starts simulating from that new state again... No need to simulate the past, if the actual current state is known. This network-model you are describing is called "client side prediction" and by googling that term, you should be able to find lots of articles to help you further with this.

You can see in the file "Leadwerks\Include\Classes\Drivers\Physics\NewtonDynamics\NewtonDynamicsPhysicsDriver.h", that the PhysicsDriver has a reference to the collisionWorld, which is a NewtonWorld pointer. You can get the current physics-driver from "_currentPhysicsDriver" but you need to cast it to a NewtonDynamicsPhysicsDriver, thus: ((NewtonDynamicsPhysicsDriver*)(_currentPhysicsDriver))->collisionWorld should be the droid you're looking for. (I haven't tested this but I am fairly certain, this will work)

The warning about spectre does not have anything to do with that linker error. Could you verify that the lib-file exists? It should be most likely in (the number might differ) C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\lib\x86\libcpmtd.lib Furthermore make sure, the path, where you found the library is found in the Library Directories (in the expanded form of the $(VC_LibraryPath_x86) variable) of your active configuration (see image below) Also make sure, you are using the correct platform toolset: General -> Platform Toolset should be set to "Visual Studio 2017 (v141)" (at least it is for me )

(https://www.leadwerks.com/community/blogs/entry/2387-getting-started-with-vulkan/?tab=comments#comment-10207) So, do you wish to take back that statement or did you now find other ways to optimize that were not possible in the OpenGL implementation? Anyway, I'm happy, you decided to go with Vulkan

Which bootloader do you use? In the case of grub (Ubuntu default), you can press "e" before the countdown runs out and then modify the boot-string by simply appending "init=/bin/bash" to the end of the line which starts with "linux /boot/vmlinuz...". You might need to manually mount your harddrives before you can access them, not sure.

Just remove "exec". As @aiaf mentioned, by writing "exec", the process running the bash-script is replaced with the new one and thus the script is not further executed. Just leave out that one word and you should be fine.

Don't know about shadmar's one but you can try that one:

That way makes total sense to me. With Load() you are creating the first instance and with Copy() you are copying that instance... Copying (as opposed to instancing) makes only sense if you already have an object using that model, so you can just use that one. Have you tried the suggestion using the "Asset::CreateNew"-parameter?

For me this behaviour you described makes perfectly sense. The call to "Load" creates your first instance and the call to "Copy" creates your second instance by copying the first one. So if you could get a hand on your other model instance which comes from the same asset, you could go ahead and call other_instance->Copy(true) and you would get what you wanted. Furthermore, the documentation of Load (https://www.leadwerks.com/learn?page=API-Reference_Object_Entity_Model_Load) mentions that there is a second parameter called "flags" but it does not say, which ones are available. The description is simply "asset load parameters". That is something, you might want to add to the documentation @Josh. From the header file Asset.h, I find the following four constants defined, which I believe are those mentioned asset load parameters: Unmanaged, CreateNew, LoadQuiet and SkipTextures. You might want to give the following a shot (I haven't tried it myself): Model::Load("Models/level/ground.mdl", Asset::CreateNew);

The lua interpreter does a lot of memory allocating and deallocating, causing these false positives to show up. See more here:

The problem you are trying to solve is called "Principal Component Analysis (PCA)". The process involves quite a lot of math, computing Eigenvalues, etc. I'm not entirely familiar with how it works either but just throwing this term at you, so you can use the name for further research

Josh seems to have a way to extract the files if you can prove ownership to him: https://www.leadwerks.com/community/topic/16895-do-you-need-your-encrypted-game-files-extracted/?do=getNewComment
