Framework + LEO - Unable to get shadows

[Scott Richmond]

I'm a bit annoyed at myself for not being able to work this out, but why is it that the code pasted below will not give me lighting (other than ambient) and shadows?

Note: The testMap I am loading works fine in the editor.

 

Game::Game() {

/***********************************************************************
ENGINE INITIALIZATION
***********************************************************************/
//setGameState(GAMESTATE_INITIALIZING); // NOT IN USE YET
scroll_speed = 0.5;

engine.Create("HiveMind Keeper v0.01", 800, 600, 0, 60);
engine.SetAbstractPath("./Data");
engine.SetFilters(4, 1);
engine.SetShadowQuality(DEEPSHADOW);
world.Create();
framework.Create();
layer = framework.GetLayer(0);

framework.GetRenderer().SetAntialias(1);
framework.GetRenderer().SetBloom(1);
framework.GetRenderer().SetGodRays(1);
framework.GetRenderer().SetHDR(1);
framework.GetRenderer().SetSSAO(1);
framework.SetStats(2);

// Must do this to allow LUA to access them.
SetGlobalObject ("fw",					framework);
SetGlobalObject ("world_main",			framework.main.GetWorld());
SetGlobalObject ("world_transparency",	framework.transparency.GetWorld());
SetGlobalObject ("world_background",	framework.background.GetWorld());
SetGlobalObject ("camera_main",			framework.main.GetCamera());
SetGlobalObject ("camera_transparency", framework.transparency.GetCamera());
SetGlobalObject ("camera_background",	framework.background.GetCamera());

level.buildMap(); // Load test map. 
lastSelectedEntity = level.playerPivot; // Need to init this otherwise we'll crash.

camrotation=Vec3(0);
mx=0;
my=0;

/***********************************************************************
GAME LOOP
***********************************************************************/
while( !engine.IsTerminated() )
{
	if( !engine.IsSuspended() )				// Don't do anything if we are not in focus.
	{
		framework.Update();
		framework.Render();
		engine.Flip(1);

		updateInput();						// Check for input and act accordingly.
	}
}

/***********************************************************************
CLEAN UP
***********************************************************************/
engine.Free();
}

 

BuildMap Function:

void Level::buildMap() {
LoadScene("abstract::TestMap.sbx");

//Actor testGuy(PAWN, Vec3(4, 1, 0), 100);

playerPivot.Create();
playerCamera.Create();
playerCamera.SetParent( playerPivot );

setCameraType(1);
}

Seems that you are not setting the fw variable. See gamelib's TGame::Initialize() method how to set it:

luat.Create();						// create the LuaTools object
luat.SetScriptObject("fw",scene.framewerk);		// set the Lua variable fw

[Scott Richmond]

Doesn't this line do the same thing?

SetGlobalObject ("fw", framework);

 

Also, where's the documentation on this?

No, that only sets an object called fw, it's not the same as a Lua variable.

I don't think this is documented in the Wiki yet, but you find several examples which do this.

[Scott Richmond]

Ok, well I've set that up now for use in LEO/Framework:

	lua.Create();
int luaSize = lua.GetTop();
lua.PushObject(framework);
lua.SetGlobal("fw");
if( luaSize - lua.GetTop() )
	lua.Pop( lua.GetTop() - luaSize );

 

Still no luck. Incidently the windwill no longer animates or emits sound anymore. There has got to be something much more simple wrong here. Ideas?

The windmill uses the old Lua script and as far as I know is no longer in the SDK DL.

Really? Why? Not that it matters, the lua script is sitting in the model folder in my project folder. So all should be well.

[Marleys Ghost]

let me rephrase - The windmill uses the old Lua script and as far as I know The windmill model is no longer in the SDK DL.

[Canardia]

I fixed the Windmill script:

[Scott Richmond]

Ah fantastic. Thanks Lumooja. The Windmill now works fine. But still no lighting. I've even integrated the LuaTools function of yours from this post: http://leadwerks.com/werkspace/index.php?/topic/431-2-3-sync/page__view__findpost__p__5053

 

Sort of running out of ideas. Right now I'm doign a force update of the SDK and will see how that goes.

[Canardia]

Can you paste the code for the light in sbx?

[Scott Richmond]

Thanks for taking the time to check this out Lumooja. FYI - The lighting works fine in-editor.

[Marleys Ghost]

Try adding castshadows here for the light_directional.gmf:

 

	"aligntoground"="0"
"castshadows"="1"
"class"="Model"
"collisiontype"="0"

[Scott Richmond]

Thanks but no cigar. I'm pretty sure its just not loading the light at all.

[Marleys Ghost]

have you got the scripts folder copied to your appdir?

[Scott Richmond]

Sure do.

[Marleys Ghost]

no errors in the log file? if your abstract path is to the appdir have you copied over the entities folder?

 

sorry just throwing things out there really.
