Sometimes we don't know what we want. 🙃

Maybe, just thought it would make the transition from other engines a lot easier.

Ultra Engine should include static function calls that contain the following. static const Vec3 Vec3::Up() { return Vec3(0,1,0); } static const Vec3 Vec3::Forward() { return Vec3(0,0,1); } // Maybe this too? static const Vec3 Vec3::Right() { return Vec3(1,0,0); } I was following this math tutorial that was exampled in Unity and thought future users would get stuck when a guide or tutorial called for an Up() or Forward() call with them not knowing what it actually is. (Because I didn't!) Once I was able to figure out what that Vector3.Up actually was with this, I had this working in Leadwerks. This would be a nice thing to have for people coming over from your competitors.

There should be an option when exporting that the packager will only zip "used assets" going off what your script loads. Untick this or use an exclude file with 7zip.

Looks like the caret position isn't being updated with the DPI scale.

I haven't tried setting up a developer environment on it or ran any of the SteamOS tools, but it's not much different from any other Linux install. I'm stuck using GUI apps to do things as I'm not used to arch commands right now. Set up an Ultra App/Engine dev environment last night on my Mint machine using Codelite and I really enjoy it. I feel like a better and cooler programmer when using Linux. 😎

Maybe have all sub children entities reposition at the root's origin in local space? Having entities sent across the map is terrible.

Probably because each distro tries to force their choice onto you so everything falls apart if you don't know what you're doing. That's one thing I like about Debian. It will ask you what desktop environments you want during installation and it all works.

Josh, you can install any desktop environment you want in any distribution. Debian is nice because it's one of the slimmest and robust distros you can ever install. However, you are locked into only using FOSS software and drivers out of the box You'll need to configure your system to pull things like media codecs and proprietary drivers. This is not true at all. While you'll not find the latest version of software in the repositories, you're system will get the latest security updates. Ubuntu and Mint wouldn't base their distros of of Debian if it was unsecured. Personally, I keep going back to Linux Mint as a distro I would actually use. Cinnamon looks nice, it's familiar, and any system tool or codecs I'll ever need is installed by default. Sure, my programs will not be up to date, but I never updated Gimp or Blender on my dev machine. And despite thinking it's really cool, I'm not a person who would build and configure a system like you would do with a raw Arch install. I like to run the installer, update the system, and then install software. If you know the basics of how Linux works and used to Windows, I can't recommend Linux Mint enough. The developers also work hard to filter out Ubuntu's bad decisions from the good ones.

Although I credit Oculus for not making their headsets out of Fisher Price plastic like Valve does, I don't like Meta, and I'm gonna be really sad if I'm ever forced to create an account for testing.

These pages were the most helpful. Maybe it's that 0xFEFF byte they talk about? Writing Unicode to a file in C++ - Stack Overflow c++ wofstream issue in unicode program - Stack Overflow Right now, I have a solution working but I need to battle test it still.

That's what I ended up doing.

I'm currently working on an application with the App Kit but I took time to make my own logging system and I didn't want my log dump file to be trash. Not sure you've figured this out on your end. I ended up storing everything within a vector wstring container, then dumping all of its contents on shutdown. I might make the logging its own smart pointer class, so it'll dump its contents once it goes out of scope. I found it on stackoverflow and it seems to work. //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Purpose: //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- void CBaseApp::Log(const std::string& pszMsg) { std::wstring_convert<std::codecvt_utf8_utf16<wchar_t>> converter; std::wstring result = converter.from_bytes(pszMsg); std::wcout << result << std::endl; m_vLogOutStream.push_back(result); } //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Purpose: //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- void CBaseApp::Log(const std::wstring& pszMsg) { #if defined (WINDOWS) _setmode(_fileno(stdout), _O_U16TEXT); std::wcout << pszMsg << std::endl; #else std::cout << pszMsg << std::endl; #endif m_vLogOutStream.push_back(pszMsg); } //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- // Purpose: //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- void CBaseApp::Shutdown() { if (m_vLogOutStream.size() > 0) { std::wstring filename = AppName() + L" - " + CurrentDate() + L".log"; std::wofstream outstream(filename, std::ios::out | ios_base::app | ios_base::binary); wchar_t buffer1[128]; outstream.rdbuf()->pubsetbuf(buffer1, 128); outstream.put(0xFEFF); for (const auto& input : m_vLogOutStream) { outstream << input << std::endl; } outstream.close(); } } int main(int argc, const char* argv[]) { CBaseApp* app = new CBaseApp(); app->Log("Hello World!"); app->Log(L"AppData Path: " + app->AppDataPath()); app->Log(L"App Path: " + app->AppDirectory()); app->Log(L"Привет!

I wonder if it'll happen with a Borderless Window. You can easily create one by just setting the window type to Window::Center. I have a report about my UI being weird in fullscreen and I suggested this as a work around.

After sixteen months of week-by-week development, I'm happy to announce that the anticipated spiritual successor of the Portal mod, Blue Portals is now available for sale as an Early Access title on Steam! I want to take a moment to thank [b]everyone[/b] who has played the demo and gave feedback. There's still work to be done! Being an Early Access title allows Cyclone to continue keep players involved in the development process to help it evolve into the best it can be! I hope you're all excited as I am to see where Cyclone will be in the near future! Please enjoy!

I just create a window on start and have players change the settings themselves.

I would think this would have to do with VRAM and how much your scene and system is using.

One thing I missed coming from Source was animated textures. Glad we'll have them in Ultra

I got a report on my game in which an end user got a popup telling them "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way". i.e: Something like this (This is an example image): I've updated my Steamworks to include and install the Visual C++ Redist 2022 (Which includes 2015 - 2019 as well) but they said that didn't fix it. I can't really tell you how much effort they put into trying to fix this, but I thought I should ask about it here. Maybe someone here had the same issue at some point? I've included the installers for both the Redist and OpenAL in my game folder for cases like this. So far, it's only one person, but it might be more when the game releases. Actually a better question - What versions of Visual C++ Redist should we check off in Steam?

If your game is crashing, you have bigger problems to sort out imo.

I see the examples are updated to use the module approach, so I assume you got it working. Did you try this on macOS and Linux yet?

It seems the edits were done on files that no longer exist.

I don't see any options for quads here and it exports as triangles.
