[Installing Leadwerks on Gentoo (Segmentation Fault)]

I now have both Ubuntu and Gentoo (replaced Arch) also over here.

I got the Lua (3.3) editor working via Steam, but with bad interface.

and looks like I have the same issue Kobnar showed with with fault.

 

Did anyone of you managed to run the C++ version on Gnetoo? if yes post the package list used to emerge.

What's nice about Gentoo is that you can create overlays for portage,

we could me a Leadwerks overlay if some package setting would work.

 

What would be even nicer is a 64-bit version of the editor, won't need all this 32-bit **** in my system.

[Installing Leadwerks on Gentoo (Segmentation Fault)]

Maybe try strace+dtrace it? would that be possible?

[Installing Leadwerks on Gentoo (Segmentation Fault)]

That is indeed not a desirable dependency Hope you solve it.

I run Arch, not sure if I can run Leadwerks on it -- I'm running Leadwerks from a temporary Ubuntu 14.04 install on another SSD. so replacing it with Gentoo would be a real joy. following this topic.

[Tutorials on C++?]

There's also this

[other distros.]

Hay,

 

as Arch user I can advice you not to use Manjaro, consider installing Arch Linux or some other distribution.This Linux is kind of broken because the guys Manjaro don't really know what they are doing.

 

I can tell you Arch can run for example all Linux Steam games without any issues if this is your concern.

[Can't install from ubuntu software center (ubuntu 14.04)]

This is not directly related to Leadwerks.

It seems although you have internet connection you getting NOT FOUND 404 messages from that site.

Did you make any repository configurations on your Ubuntu? maybe try a mirror of this repository?

[Noob programmer question]

This is a nice place to begin with:

He has nice tutorials for C++ beginners.

[How I change the initial rotation of my ship?]

Thanks! This worked for me!

 

ship = Model::Load("Models/Ship/dark_fighter_6.mdl");
ship->SetPosition(0,4,0);
shipPivot = Pivot::Create();
ship->SetParent(shipPivot);
ship->SetRotation(90,90,0, true);

...

if(window->KeyDown(Key::A)) {
   shipPivot->Move(-move_speed,0,0);
}

...

 

There's some pattern to handle this in more global manner?

[How I change the initial rotation of my ship?]

I found a free model I can play with of nice quality.

I have the following situation:

 

 

Like you can see the models initial rotation is wrong, it should be facing the direction of brush.

This code can fix the rotation for me:

ship->SetRotation(90,90,0, true);

 

But then I have issue with ship movement:

 

if(window->KeyDown(Key::A)) {
 ship->Move(-move_speed,0,0);
}
if(window->KeyDown(Key:)) {
 ship->Move(move_speed,0,0);
}
if(window->KeyDown(Key::S)) {
 ship->Move(0,0,-move_speed);
}
if(window->KeyDown(Key::W)) {
 ship->Move(0,0,move_speed);
}

 

Movement would be in the wrong then directions. I could also adjust this but obviously it's not the right way. I am aware you can rotate it in some 3D software like blender, but I'm trying to avoid it right now.

 

and generally what would be best practice for such cases?

[Non-buntu distros]

If you know well your operating environment it should be possible to run Leadwerks probably under most distributions. Gentoo is very flexible - you should be able to run Leadwerks one way or another. I'm an Arch user my self, but I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on another drive for running Leadwerks. I advice to do the same, Leadwerks and Linux games in general still require 32-bit libs to be available in system, I figured I'll need to install some 32-bit libs on Arch to get Leadwerks running so I preferred installed a 'sandbox' Ubuntu instead.

 

Nevertheless, I also would like to see more distributions supported in the future.

[IDE issue finding the Leadwerks C++ code.]

Josh, Toaster, found the issue, I replaced:

 

<Variable name="LeadwerksPath" value='"/home/wdna/Leadwerks"' />

 

with:

 

<Variable name="LeadwerksPath" value="/home/wdna/Leadwerks" />

 

Looking at other definitions in project, this seemed a bit strange to set value like that with the '"' escape.

Now everything works fine and I can view the source files.

 

Like mentioned, it would be nice if this libraries will be auto added upon new projects:

<Add library="pthread" />
<Add library="X11" />

[IDE issue finding the Leadwerks C++ code.]

Yes, that seems to be the the case:

<Environment>
<Variable name="LeadwerksPath" value='"/home/wdna/Leadwerks"' />
</Environment>

 

I'm starting to think this is some kind of Code::Blocks bug?

By looking at build configuration, without this variable compile should not work, but it does.

[IDE issue finding the Leadwerks C++ code.]

Actually this should not be necessary. Did you create the project from within the Leadwerks-Editor?

 

Yes, I opened the files from ~/Documents/Leadwerks/Projects/Test/Projects/Linux with Code::Blocks -- this was generated by creating new C++ project.

[IDE issue finding the Leadwerks C++ code.]

Although my project compiles after I added 'pthread' and 'X11' to linker in build options, the Code::Blocks IDE is unable to find the declarations of the 'Leadwerks' namespace.

 

For example:

window = Leadwerks::Window::Create("MyGame", 200, 150, 1024, 768, Leadwerks::Window::Titlebar);

 

When pressing LMB on 'Create' and choosing "Go to deceleration ..." the action results an error.

My version of Code::Blocks is 13.12, the default install on Ubuntu 14.04.

 

I did not find any 'special' way to add the files to IDE, their path is clearly in the include.

 

Should I add what's inside /home/myuser/Leadwerks/Include/ to the project files or anything like that?

[Works on Ubuntu 14.04 Beta 2.]

I can confirm it worked for me as well. Using brand new install of 14.04 beta.

 

Also needed this as dependency:

[Installing Leadwerks for Linux]

I have a question, when Leadwerks will be updated, should download new version via the same link? I assume you'll be posting a change list on this site?

 

and, do you have any estimation on the OGL 3.3 fallback? I currently have Intel HD 4600 GPU and although this machine is pretty powerful - I'm not looking into buying new card soon, I'm waiting for the current gen cards price to drop so I can get one for lower price.

 

Having said that, if you estimate it can take some time, i'll get me a cheap card to meet the requirements.

[Why I cannot see my own model with FPS controller attached?]

Yup, missed it i guess.

 

local material = Material:Create()
material:SetBlendMode(5)--Blend.Invisible
self.entity:SetMaterial(material)
material:Release()
...

[Why I cannot see my own model with FPS controller attached?]

I'm totally new to Leadwerks, I currently play with the Indie edition for windows until Linux get released.

I implemented my own FPS Controller using the default script on a cylinder object.

 

Now I wonder what makes the camera not to render the object it attached to? I did not find anything in the FPS script nor the weapon script.

 

I'm trying to convert the FPS controller to 3rd person one...

[Does this graphics card work with Leadwerks Game Engine: Indie Edition (3.1)]

The version is HD Graphics 3000. Will that work? And what happens if it is lower than OpenGL 4? Will it still run it? etc.

 

Nop, seems like it does not support OpenGL 4.0

[Does this graphics card work with Leadwerks Game Engine: Indie Edition (3.1)]

Most of the new Intel HD GPUs support OpenGL 4.0, with the appropriate drivers installed.

You can find information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Intel_graphics_processing_units

 

btw, Leadwerks 3.1 also works on Geforce 740M (laptop)
