I worked today on publishing a version of the drivable car workshop item for Leadwerks 4.5

free to use, works with the FPS player controller. Here is a demo:

Workshop car "Turbo car for Le 4.6 free" - Uploaded in the Workshop
Better optimization for the workshop car released. And possibility to custom the car, feel the difference of the configuration when driving.
For Le 4.6. with world:update(4) added to the main script
Here is a demo video about the new optimization:
Here are the properties that allow to change the car:
- The Drive Factor makes the car drive feeling more or less heavy: With a
Finishing this today, I'm happy to publish this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1662222417
The car is funny to drive, the prefabs is ready-to-use but feel free to change the script variables to test it.
Drop the prefabs in the map, it uses the classical FPSPlayer from Leadwerks.
The car is based on joints: 4 wheels, 4 damper and 2 Hinges for the directions.
The script incorporates smoothing damping modifications to get the car stable; modifications on
This is a simplified change of this workshop item (so credits go there!)

A few changes I did:
1) the water.mat:
changed Diffuse color (64,64,64,64) + refraction shader
2) The script, simplified, like this:
Add this script to a box, cylinder, what you want...With the water material up there added.
And here the result
sorry Foots
> This is defintely the best result I obtained with Leadwerks physics to build a car; I think this car is good enough so that it could be used in a game.
> The car reacts depending on terrain, feeling different if climbing or driving down. The car allows speed driving until 140-160 kmh
> The dampers became an upgrade that give me the possibility to construct car over 200 kg. That means simply that the cars drive now with much more stability and give for the player heavier feel
This an entry for a new completed feature:
Wheels can leave a trace on the ground using decals.
Here is a bit code on how to make that work.
Here is how it returns ingame:

Working out of this subject:
I tested a script for a simple "GoToPoint()" function for a customizable character controller for NPC. This may not be so good as the implemented LE character controller with classic navigation system but it could be promising to use it in open world (so not in much corridored dungeon game!) where the the NPC should crawl or swim or whatever do things as for example underscaled world (thats what I am actually interested in ?)
The NPCs are using an "
I'm just happy to get this work here is a demo:
This is actually better than driving in 4.3 because cars are now able to jump or crash without experimenting crazy rotations or whatever ?
Here is the script to make this:

I made a showcase for a bulldozer script for a few years, this is a following step on this:
I change the script and replace the road meshes + shape with road decal textures.
It saves a lot of ressources, much better FPS, because Mesh + Shape came too expensive for a big map.
You only have to place 3 points on your map. The tool will join the points digging + tracing a road with the specified texture. Instead of building a spline, the tools follows the curves of the terrain, adjust

Here are a few thoughts about finding the best way to create a dense forest, with different models, quickly, dense and allowing good performances by walking and driving.
I first try with the vegetation tool. https://www.leadwerks.com/community/profile/15151-marcousik/?status=10763&type=status
I got good results but not by driving and I find that the collision checked causes the lost of 40 FPS (from 60 by to 20) making the game unplayable.
I'm happy with this because I spent a long time in testing how to make rain without slowing the game too much.
I wanted the rain to have "splash" effect on the ground and to stop correctly as the player could stay under a roof or hides under a big stone etc etc..
I got big problems with collision testing and very low performances when using the shaped vegetation tool.
Now that's fine, because I do not use the collision anymore, saving much performances.
Here is a little demo:
So this crazy journey continues...
It's all about making a game with free car driving in an open world, finding your way through random events, uncrossable areas, mud, water and getting managed your needs of water, food and fuel.
(Something between Snowrunner and GTA where grenades could help to get the way free)
In my free time (I don't have much anymore) I try to build a big map (4096) where it could be enjoyable to drive around to complete a task or just to relax, reaching an u
Hello
Debuting 2022 with a very first try of a level design for my offroad game project I try to construct with Leadwerks 4.6
The map needs a lot more improvements.
There are a few bugs (like swimming) and some collisions problems, but this how it could look like, with the challenge for the player to find his way through the world - like a puzzle driving game - without getting stucked (like me in this showcase) or have your car destroyed. So I will add an
The shader was originally written by @havenphillip I think, it was an interactive shader for vegetation to move around the player when going through.
I modified a few things to let a csg sphere behave like mud when a tire is going through.
There is a an invisible trigger under the mud to detect the tire and change the friction and other coming features like decals mud on the car and other possible splashes effects.
Enjoy

> The road tracer tool is for now without bug; I added debug messages that prevent a bugged road to be generated - so it asks now to modify some values instead of generating the bugged road.
> Water waves are smoother.
> New feature: Driving in mud.
> I'm thinking about adding a speed or friction penality if not driving on roads.

January 2021, work progression showcase random generated world vegetation, FPS=30
[I] - THE TERRAIN; VEGETATION AND WATER:
The map is 4096*4096
The landscape is randomly cast: Painting & vegetation.
At the end of the video, is a demo of the waves shader I could write using the leaves.shader on the water.shader.
The shader is in the workshop for free to use. It is far not perfect but it adds a good animation for ocean wate
I focused my imagination on game art, trying to create a beautiful world where players may want to explore and drive.
The first quest could be: Find a way out of the forest.
Here is a little showcase of what I made:
Edit: 27.04.2020
The goal was to get the better I could out of a 4096x4096 map, after months work trying all possibilities I obtained a good decor and great area for an offroad game.
Performances are a bit slow but so much models was added -
I'm trying to build a beautiful open world on map size 2048, where the player will have the possibility to play as a Street vendor, transporting and selling goods through the world.
The world should be an unhabitable zone. Unless you have a shield.
You will have manage your reccources between buying and re-selling goods, develop yourself with better vehicles, develop a little shopping industry, little bit enigm or fight to provide the shield.
Still researching a good car simulation script with LE 4.6, so what's new:
I changed some important parameters of my car script to make the car more nervous, better responsive to the world, rapid and giving more feelings and more controls by driving it.
Maybe it is not 100% what man can expect but it is now more fun to drive and that's important.
The car now calculates and integrates both the forces coming from the world and from the player commands,
That means it checks th
That's just monster truck fun - This driving/vehicle physics is (well I think) definitivly better than 4.3 ?
