My First Questions

[Fosef]

Ok, so just getting started, here are my specs...

 

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4800+

2GB RAM

Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT (197.45 Driver)

 

First Question:

Following the 2nd tutorial, my final result doesn't look right...

Attached is a screen shot, hopefully you can see everything. Everything appears very grainy...plus the debug light cone seems to be off from what the tutorial showed.

 

Second Question:

If you notice in my Visual Studio, keywords from Leadwerks SDK are not turning blue?

 

 

Thanks All

first:

use the SetShadowQuality command:

second question:

You must copy the usertype.dat from the LE SDK CPP folder into your Visual Studio's IDE folder.

By default this is located in c:\program files\visual studio 9.0\common7\ide.

Second issue resolved! Thanks

 

First issue still there though...

 

Tryed both...

SetShadowQuality(SHADOW_QUALITY_HIGH);

SetShadowQuality(1);

 

 

The shadow of the box doesn't move...figure you can't see that in the screenshot.

And the cone of my debug light appears nothing like the one in the tutorial.

I'm making progress, the tutorials seem to be outdated a bit.

 

I'm experimenting with the LightConeAngles and can see that has something to do with my issue.

This issue was recently brought to my attention. It just started occuring due to some optimizations that were made in version 2.31. It has been fixed for version 2.32. You can replace the spotlight with a directional light to see how it should work.

Thanks, I felt like a kid on X-mas morning since I had just purchased, so I wasn't taking the time to search for anything. I seen the Visual Studio issue was in the wiki after the fact...not sure if anything was out there on the SpotLight issue.

 

Anyways, great product, enjoying it so far!
