Aily

I found that Leadwerks2, Leadwerks3 and my own lua-driven projects eating memory. It grows each frame. After adding collectTime=collectTime-AppSpeed() if collectTime<0 then collectTime=60 collectgarbage('collect') end in main loop, seems like used memory stay same size, but "lags" became very visible on collecting garbage. Does anyone here thinking about it, and can make nice smooth results for garbage collecting in Lua?

Thanks man

Does anyone can select entity in Editor, like this?

Seems like everyone wants Blitz3D collisions system

Yeah. Did we can see results of it in future?

Thanks Aggror. I imagine if this blocks will possible to add form script with all CSG operations! And run it in "edit mode"

So as i guess still no boolean operations?

Me too, think that 2.5 must stay alive.

Yes, Lua is fantastic with if someObject.SomeFuntion~=nil then ... language maked realy for people.

If i understand correct - you all talking about that i calling "messages system". Each active object on creation adds to "listeners list" They are all have one same method OnMessage(msg), string name and string class I have global function send(name,class,msg,delay) Message adds to "messages list" In main loop i run messages list decrace each of it delay value and if delay became to be zero compare name\class of message adres and "listener" if all cool, just call listener method OnMessage with current message object all done, message sent to all fits objects, removes it from messages list So i can sending messages with delay, and no need to warry abut - when entity will be broken by peaces, when fire sprites to be respawn, sound, etc... It's like Leadwerks messages system, but little updated to handle delay and possible to send many messages per iteration to one object. I have one try to gather Last Chapter with such "messages system", where i'm not acessing to objects directly, all stuff only by messages, and it works good and fast for Last Chapter gameplay. And in the end i'm get separate classes of all objects in world as usual, but they totaly movable from one project to another - without any warry for methods compatibility. If another project don't generate messages - this class will stay silent, if project trying to call unknown method of such messaging-class - just nothing happens, no any crashes. As for me it's best issue with my developements, and when i will return to making gamplay will be use this system. I hope you understand me

Congrats your team! Big respect

Yes, Leadwerks don't have many finished games as some another engines. I agree with all guys here that saing Leadwerks2 is API for making your game engine. Me myself came here with zero knowlege of game making (Blitz3D only, and little 3DSMAX). Till this years Leadwerks primary teach me how things must be done, on it amzing shaders.pak i realy get how GLSL works, and what things must have any game engine. Thanks Josh. So this not stoped me before (working with lights tutorial is buy me ), i get it, and start lerning. And till this time it return all it cost to me in money (little not gaming projects), and much more in experience. I can't say that i'm good game programmer now. But thise days i'm working on my own OpenGL4.2 visualisation API for medical research, in C++ from scratch, and it's all Leadwerks fault, i can't say that make such results without Leadwerks. At last i can say - Leadwerks is very good engine for learning, and for thouse people ho like to make games, or something pretty render. Difenetley - it possible and fun to make good game with this, but me myself (and i think most part of us here) don't have enought patient for this and free time because of primary job.

Thanks

Please, can you put here a little example, how to use it in code?

You need to fill your array not by CopyEntity(), create each cube separate by CreateCube(). It loose instaces, but make different materials.

I don't unerstanding you, think it can be ported to C like float rez=0.1f; for (float t=0.0f; t<1.0f; t+=rez) { } hmm, or not? main idea is to build spline class with control points going from start to end, and rez here is spline position from 0....1, 1- it's end. So if first path point is 0,0, and second - last 100,100, then rez=0.5 returns ~50,50. But if there will be more control points such code will return spline position smoothed. And this little function realy helps to get value betwen 4 spline points (if there will be less its easy to fill it like first,first,first,last for example ) Works with 3D too (checked)

This one works good, you can port it on C++. http://actionsnippet.com/?p=1031

Seems it must work on your video, something wrong with your drivers. Do you get them from nVidia website?

Imaginate level generator. Where you just put LEVELGEN entity to scene, and it building some world for you. Aftrer this you can move genarated objects, delete\copy as any another objects added to scene. This doesn't works

Do you remember Diablo2? world is flat and maked by boxes, so Torchlight have same scene geometry. This little code can possible to make Diablo2 style game, if each wall represent to it AABBs.

I was thinking about it, and will add another geometry types here (sphere,poly) and this can be used in little games, where just need to find path and send NPC by it. Now i think it can helps to make little strategy, or simple shooter with field and unwalkable areas on it (houses, trees, stones...)

Working with pathfinding a little i found some sad things 1. walking by waypoints as "by rails" 2. navmesh code is hard to implement (recast\detour) 3. all i saw last time is realy hard to use Target: 1. game have big open field 2. on this field many objects that charachters must drive over 3. i need speed and simplify 4. this must be easy attached to diferent projects At last my pathfinding is: each "unwalkable" area have aabb nav-body, that uses waypoints links as "can't walk here" each "unwalkable" area have waypoints in it corners, to find path around unwalkable areas base function give start (for example NPC) point as X,Y floats and end X,Y float point and returns path linked list where calculated path points runs each other from start path to end It's just first "zero" version of this idea, it works, but need some clean code, fixes and add more functionality (it's still 2D, but soon....). Try it guys Who can say that is not navmesh? BlitzMax source and EXE in archive. Hold F1 to see waypoints Next step is done it by bMax and port to Lua,C++ and ActionScript if i will have time and good mood for this. nav_grid_0001.rar

Works here, good job! One of my favorite gameplays.

Print() ? AppLog() ?

Set threads to 1, it helps to me.
