LE Physics

[diedir]

Hi all,

 

some questions about physics :

 

1) is Newton game dynamics driving LE 2.5 and LE 3.0 physics?

 

2) which version of Newton in each LE version ?

 

3) the stable 3.0 version of Newton is out, could we have it integrated in LE 2.5 ?

 

thank you

have a nice day

i try to answer your questions as best as i know.

 

1) simply Yes.

 

2) LE2 uses Newton 2 and LE3 uses Newton 3

 

3) i don't know but i doubt it will happen since Josh is concentrating on Leadwerks 3.

But i think even when the physic engine is older in LE2 it is a bit better integrated and has features that are missing in LE3 at the moment.

i am sure that will get better though.

 

Maybe you can explain what you are missing in LE2 Physics?

Hi beo6

thank you for answering,

 

missing or not found, i don't know but some are bugging me :

• vehicle braking command
  
• more stable physics collisions between rigidbodies (vhs) and static meshes
  

currently, i don't know why but my car is not driving straight (turning a bit then a lot after a while) when not turning, only

when speed is high ...

edit: i think it is my car structure because it is the only one which does this.

 

so that's my concerns for now

thx

I find that le3 physics are more stable than le2 physics.I mean in relation to character control.

[diedir]

good to know that Cassius,

the ticket for that is LE3 license, then a scripts/assets transfer and new methods though,

i am comfort in my LE2 shoes, for now

just hoping that LE2 could recieve newton physics 3

[cassius]

No. Josh won't work on le2 anymore its no longer on sale. Maybe a bug fix here or there, but I doubt even that.

[AggrorJorn]

I agree with cassius. It is safe to assume that Le2 will not get newton 3. That would be a massive undertaking. And even if it wasn't it would not happen anyway.

[diedir]

ok then,

i can understand that,

but your assessment :

And even if it wasn't it would not happen anyway

sounds quite a morbid statement,

thanx and amen

[AggrorJorn]

Sorry I didn't mean to be rude.

 

There are bug reports for LE2 that are more than a year old so I just think Le2 won't get any attention anymore.

[diedir]

no offense here

 

just a matter of saying...

 

anyway i need to resolve myself to make the move...

just convincing me to do it atm.

[beo6]

i think there is currently no vehicle physic in LE3 or is there?

[gamecreator]

I assume there isn't because the survey was asking about it.
