Harry Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Ok, i am thinking of getting this engine to make a medieval based sort of game. It may have on-line features, but it is still in dev. Is the engine easy to use and get used to. And if i can find a c++ coder how doe it all start. Very open i know but just need to know before i consider to get.

Rick Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 Yes, as a programmer it's one of the easier libraries I've used. As a non programmer it's probably not the easiest but you can still get nice looking scenes which are static. I would use RakNet for the online features you want, but there are other external networking libraries like SDL also. LE's networking commands are kind of green behind the ears. It's a great engine with a great community, but it does require coding a good chunk of your game systems. Pathfinding being one of those for example.

Harry Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 i am thinking i will get htis soon enough but i need a coder first hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 You could learn Lua. It's easier than most languages to learn and LE supports it. It won't give you the networking you desire really, but you could get some functionality yourself if you learn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Simpson Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 The pipeline for getting a mesh from the 3d app to leadwerks can be a little tricky at first. I use UU3D to help me with exporting to leadwerks as it cuts out a few stages, like using various converters. From an artists point of view though, I love leadwerks engine. It's the best value for money and has stunning graphics! Quote Intel core 2 quad 6600 | Nvidia Geforce GTX460 1GB | 2GB DDR2 Ram | Windows 7.

Mumbles Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 lol, well will learning a code be hard, i learnt CSS but thats easy lol CSS isn't really coding. Now JavaScript on the other hand. Sloppy as it is, is very similar to what you'll need for Leadwerks, so it's something to start with. Quote LE Version: 2.50 (Eventually) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
