I don't think anything is 100% uncrackable. I'm assuming that the license understands that.

I am planning to buy an asset for my game, and the license for it has this sentence in it: "You can use it as long as it is incorporated into the product and the 3rd party cannot retrieve it individually in either the digital or physical form." I understand that Leadwerks has some kind of package encryption that you can use but I have not tried it. Will it satisfy something like this?

On the latest develop branch the editor appears to be completely broken. I can't create a new project or use any of the tools (AMD RX 6600 XT). The steps I took to get to here are: 1. Installed AMD graphic driver 25.3.20 (tested editor and game and both still have bindless texture issue) 2. Installed AMD graphic driver 24.7.1 3. Upgraded to latest dev branch, and now the editor is in the state. Since then I have also installed 24.7.1 again with the factory reset setting and still broken.

If you can do it in the editor that would be fine also, so long as it supports naming the animation track and saving it as a new track in the existing model. I think this makes it more user friendly than calling for reverse in code, but I don't know how much larger it makes the model file?

So rather than me having to pay someone to make a climb ladder up, and a climb ladder down animation, (also things like holster weapon, unholster weapon), I can just play one of them and then reverse it, so climb ladder up, and then play the same animation in reverse for climb ladder down. Not sure if it will perfect, but I think it will suffice for holster and unholster weapon. I guess it just depends on the complexity of the animation, but I'm sure me or someone else will find it useful.

Ok Sure. I don't know a lot about the implementation of animations under the hood so I can't really provide anything more than just the end-user suggestion. While I am here though, I do want to ask, would it be possible to play an animation in reverse?

Apologies if the use case was unclear; First person view game, you are climbing a ladder, so you have an animation of your hands climbing upward. Now you stop climbing, midway on the ladder. I expect that I can make my hand animation pause where it was (otherwise my hands would keep moving). Then I decide to continue climbing, so I would like the animation to continue from where it was. Hope that is more clear. EDIT: Just in case you did understand me, but are just seeking further clarification; I don't think it would necessarily matter, but I'm not sure of the implication. When I'm finished climbing I would just transition back to either hands-idle, or if you had a weapon out it would be like hands-holster, then weapon-unholster, and then weapon-idle. I probably could achieve this whole thing with a bit of guesswork but it wouldn't be an exact science. I would need to track the milliseconds passed since animation started so that I could calculate which frame I should be up to.

Can we please have a way to pause the current animation, and then resume it? Use case: Player is climbing a ladder and then stops. Animation needs to stop on the given frame, and then be resumed when the player starts moving again. I don't think this can be done with the existing functions; you can choose which frame to start from, but I don't think you would know which frame you have stopped at.

Ok this is just my own mistake. Simply disabling physics on the entity is all that needs to be done. My camera is not being correctly updated here. Thanks for your help.

I gave that a go as well, but still couldn't get it working. I'll keep at it and see if I can figure something out. Might report it as a bug.

Unfortunately this did not help. Do you think there could be a bug in this?

If I disable physics on my player controller (by GetEntity()->SetPhysicsMode( PHYSICS_DISABLED ) ), is there a way that I can now use SetPosition() on it to move it around for something like climbing a ladder? Because the SetPosition() function seems to have no effecf after disabling physics. Should this work? I'm pretty sure I'm not doing anything else that is grounding the player controller, given that jumping works just fine when the physics are enabled.

Let's not try and obfuscate the truth here. I've run this on 4.5gb and 8 threads vs 1 thread I have 500ms vs 3300ms. And then when its actually loading model geometry where you are doing all sorts of other operations to load it into the LE format its going to be an even greater number. And now that we have established that it is indeed significantly faster, its no longer relevant? I went out of my way to write this up for you because you claimed that it would be slower. I'm not sure if you are getting this, but I'm trying to help. If you don't want to do anything about this that's your call, and its fine. I can't make you. But so much of what I have tried to convey to you in this thread seems to have been ignored along with the entire premise, and it is quite frustrating. So I'm probably going to just leave it there, and leave the ball in your court.

As I mentioned in my previous post it is an example that demonstrates how loading files in a multithreaded manner is significantly faster than loading them sequentially, not slower.

I'll try again with the file and provide a link: https://filebin.net/rwamm41me0h4c0ic/tests.zip tests.zip
