Is the TVehicle class implemented in Leadwerks 3? If the answer is yes, Are there any samples for scripting or C++ version out there? Thanks!

Waiting for the results now.

Hope LE 3 development is going good, if i can help somewhow let me know.

velocity = GetBodyVelocity(object,0); speed = Length(velocity)*60*60/1000; // KM/h What do you suggest to take as base for mass? 1 mass 1kg will result in very heavy stuff (say a car will be 900 mass or so isn't that a lot) i'm currently using 1.3 for a car.

Great, thanks for the info guys, 1 unit 1 meter sounds fine. What about mass? @Josh = I just checked the speed i got while driving varies from 0 to 9 or so, that is M per tick? In that case what would be the best way to turn this m/tick to m/h?

I was wondering if somebody did already worked with this? What i need to define a way to measure, size of objects, speed, weight and other stuff. How can i turn object sizes to meters or feet? Same with speed, i can get the velocity vector, how could i define a real speed for objects in KM/h or M/h. velocity = GetBodyVelocity(object,0); speed = Length(velocity); What about weight from mass? Thanks a lot in advance.

Loading a map take time, i was working this week in designing a splash screen, idk if somobody did this already, gotta check.

I launch LUA from c++ code using BP L=GetLuaState(); lua_pushobject(L,fw); lua_setglobal(L,"fw"); lua_pop(L,1); Problem is, i have no clue on how to protect the scripts folder and make it work. I can protect the data folder and it works ok with something like this: SetZipStreamPassword("data.pak","pass"); RegisterAbstractPath("/data"); I been trying to do the same with scripts folder in the same data.pak, or in scripts.pak with RegisterAbstractPath("/scripts"), but it simply won't work. Error i get is "can't open script/class". So far i wasn't unable to solve this.

I updated to the last version, maybe that file wasn't downloaded, i might delete all and redo my installation then. But before this last version i never saw a version of viperscout with spawn, in fact in LE 1 i didnt have a version with spawn . Then i updated to version 2 and got this file somehow.

You can always Envelope a file to work only with your EXE, adding more protection. Still is better than having the files left on the open. So Josh, how do you make the lua work inside a zip? i wasn't able to do that.

Is there a way to protect LUA files? I tried to place em in a zip protected file, but they won't run from there.

Any news on when this is going to be here?

I use LUA to code some parts of stuff i would like to let Map makers or artists modify. Atm most of my LUA code is for objects like Cars, or static objects that have some behaviour (like lights etc). A thing that would be good to code in LUA would be also Interface, i'm trying to work on that, also to let non programmers be able to modify part of the stuff i code. With things like SetGlobalObject or SetKey you can set global objects or object variables from LUA that you can use in code. I use this to send settings of object files to my C++ code.

I was experimenting a lot of different setups to make the Raycast default Leadwerks car physics works more real. So far i didn't got the results i expected. Will implementing Real Wheel car physics from Newton make this works better? Or are there some kind of tricks i can make to improve the raycast car? I need to make a demo with Transmission (Manual or Automatic), and improve the physics a bit. Right now this setup is what i'm using mostly: suspensionlength=0.1 springconstant=66.0 springdamper=020.0 mass=1.3 This makes it a decent driving experience, still when car turns i feel like it rises to the wrong side (as contrary to real physics). Maybe somebody have a better setup to try, or some ideas to point me out. Anybody was able to add a transmission or a more realistic engine like physics to the LECAR? Thanks a lot in advance.

The vehicle_viperscout.lua in Scripts folder starts like this: dofile("scripts/base.lua") dofile("scripts/math.lua") steerrate=2.0 steerlimit=30 function Spawn(model) local entity=base_Spawn(model) local pivot suspensionlength=0.2 local springconstant=20.0 local springdamper=150.0 entity.vehicle=CreateVehicle(model) Maybe i got confused, all i wanted is to update an old project to the last version and i found this script. So what is this script used for? The code in Scripts folder looks more advanced than the one in the private folder.
