ChrisMAN Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 What is a hole? Is it something you see through. Something you can fall through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixel Perfect Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 The Leadwerks Terrain has the feature to allow holes to be placed in it to allow you to pass into Cave/Underground systems etc. I'm not aware of any functions being exposed to allow manipulation of these in code but I could be mistaken.

Gandi Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 I tried to generate an .sbx file with a proper .vis file at runtime and then loading that generated scene, but it just messes up the terrain. I guess I will have to apply some kind of invisibility-shader to the terrain, but I am not so quite sure how to do that. I was hoping that someone knows how th leadwerks scene does this.

klepto2 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Without using bmx it will be impossible as the required functions are not exposed. But for bmx here is the part of code from my extended dll which handles the TileVisibility. Located in EX_Sceneloader.bmx from this package http://www.leadwerks.com/werkspace/files/file/289-extension-dll-source-release/ : If Int(String(map.ValueForKey("hiddentiles"))) > 0 Local vfile:String = StripExt(SBXReadFile) + ".vis" Local vstream:TStream vstream=ReadFile(vfile) If vstream If vstream.size()=terrain.resolution*terrain.resolution Local x:Int Local y:Int For x=0 To terrain.resolution-1 For y=0 To terrain.resolution-1 terrain.SetTileVisibility(x,y,vstream.ReadByte()) Next Next 'vstream.readbytes(terrain.newtonHeightFieldCollisionTag.m_attributes,terrain.resolution*terrain.resolution) terrain.UpdateVisibilityTexture() Else AppLog "Visibility file is wrong size.",APPLOG_WARNING EndIf vstream.close() Else AppLog "Failed to load file ~q"+vfile+"~q.",APPLOG_WARNING EndIf loader._progresscount:+1 EndIf You might find other useful info in the dll source like manual vegetation painting etc. Quote Intel® Core™ i7-8550U @ 1.80 Ghz 16GB RAM INTEL UHD Graphics 620 Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit-Version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandi Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Hell yeah! I created a new .dll with these two simple functions: Const COMPILE_DLL:Int = True Function SetTileVisibility(terrain:TTerrain,x:Int,y:Int,state:Byte) "Win32" 'EXPORT If COMPILE_DLL Then GCEnter() terrain.SetTileVisibility(x,y,state) EndFunction Function UpdateVisibilityTexture(terrain:TTerrain) "Win32" 'EXPORT If COMPILE_DLL Then GCEnter() terrain.UpdateVisibilityTexture() EndFunction And now it works Thank you very much for the extension dll source. An amazing piece of work you did here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexman Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 How up to date is the ENGINE.BMX for making the DLL? Is it required for fixes made to the TEntity hierarchy?

klepto2 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 If you compile it with the latest version (up to date bmx module) all fixes of the delivered dll should be included in the extended dll as well. Only completely new functions might be missing, but this should be easy to fix.

Flexman Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Cheers, got it working now. All I need now is a work free weekend to exploit the cool possibilities your extensions have opened up.

paramecij Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Would any of you two fine gents be willing to share the up to date extended ,dll perhaps? I'd do this myself but don't have bmax, or would the demo version of bmax suffice ? (only 30day time limit is mentioned) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtreampb Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Confusion, can someone please better explain what this DLL does, and is it for C++ use of the engine? Quote bool Life() { while(death=false) { if(death==true) return death; } } I have found the secret to infinite life Did I help you out? Like my post!

Pixel Perfect Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 It's an extended version of the standard engine dll which exposes additional functionality that Josh did not include in the standard DLL but is accessible in BMax. Can be useful depending on what you are attempting to do with the API. Look at the Asset Store entry for this to get a list of the additional functionality.
