i guess then what is happening with the night vision is a script that puts a hud filter on a plane in front of all and then all ambience lighting is 100 meaning no dark areas, and when turn off the ambience resets maybe

as to the blurry vission i have no bloomin idea.

but this is totally interseting me.

maybe the film is a run of huds which then added coding to strip colour, but then he has normal maps meaning there is some shading must be a way

an unquenchable thirst for knowledge of game creation!!!

@squalker, I'm getting the same results using option 2 as I was before. Still shows up as zero and the increments when I destroy the entity. Really puzzled by this one.

What would happen if I declared and instantiated the variable in a trigger zone script? Would the HUD update? Guess I'm gonna give that a whirl.

Something else... placing the following in a trigger zone causes the game to quit immediately no matter what value I place in it

That's because quitgame doesn't accept any arguments.

Gotcha but wouldn't the prior condition block it from ever executing that command? Or is it just causing a crash 'cause I put a "1" there?

Oh, you meant that you changed the varequal value. It's strange that you're getting all of these problems now, everything worked fine when I tested it. I'll do some more thorough tests though.

if your going to have different amounts of invasive on each level.... then add the following to the levelsetup.fpi



This will make sure each level Invasive setting start where you want..

Give that a try m8

Hey...completely off topic but...

The Beach Boys Smile Sessions were released today. Please everyone go find it and experience heaven on earth. Make sure you find the version released today, Nov. 1, and not Smiley Smile or an old bootleg.

Hey Budokaimen.

How is it going with the "character walking stairs" feature ? I am designing some levels that I would like to build in X10. So I really want to know if you think that feature is actually going to work.

thanks.

I haven't had any time to work on that. When I do have some free time, I usually spend it working on the secret feature.

I just opened up the ticket system on the Sourceforge page. I added the sound system request and the AI stairs request. If you guys have any other requests or bug reports you can post them there or here (you don't need an SF account to post a ticket). If you post them here I'll create a ticket anyway, and I'll update the status of it on the SF ticket, so you'll have a better idea of when something is being worked on or fixed.

Hey Budo, I've going through the source a bit lately and I'm thinking I'd like to try to get up to speed in dbx10. Hopefully, i can help a bit eventually.

Any pointers for where to get started? I understand the basic layout but I've never looked at the syntax in much detail so some of it is a bit confusing. Am thinking I may try to make some alterations on the decals to allow for longer sequences as a first task to get my bearings in the code.

Download DBP free and go through the help docs. It'll tell you every command and what they do. Once you're acquainted with the syntax, go to the code snippets board here on the forums and take a look around at some peoples' (s', 's ?) code and just try to get used to what everything's doing.

I actually looked, and you should be able to have as many frames as you want.

Okay, I was actually looking at it now too and didn't see a hard value for it. I'll give it a whirl again and see what gives.

I've compiled the source successfully etc so I'm at least to that stage but yeah, help docs sound like a good idea.

Okay so I think I know what is happening.

I just made a new decal that 4 by 8 (1024 by 2048). Set up the decalspec properly and gave it a run. When you run it, you see the entire sequence correctly but it shows two copies of it, one above and one below. When I saw this before, I thought it meant that it was ignoring the down = 8 and just playing it like it would a 4 by 4 decal, thus two messed up animations. However, the animations are not messed up and the two copies play identically.

So, something weird is going on in the math I think - in the way that the image is being parsed and displayed.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean that it's creating two copies of it.

I'll make a quick video. Hard to explain. It also squashes both of them a bit - again making it look like it is running through the sequence 4x4 but it's not. Or at least to my eyes.

Video shortly. Sorry I can't explain it better. For some reason, it's really difficult.

After seeing this video, I take back what I said. I think it is just ignoring the down= 8 and playing this like it is a 4x4 decal, thus the image ratio distortion and the "duplicate" copies. At the end of the video, you will see that they are not synchronous.

Unrelated to the current topic...just a quick question.

What does lightintensity do exactly? Is it meant to be part of a dynamic light script or is it for ambient light?

Aha, I think I've found the problem. Quite simple too:


so that fix will be in the next beta.

Very cool. I'm still looking at the code a bit confused but from what I can guess it is keeping a constant value for decals.

On a side note, while looking around at the source code I noticed this:


Honestly, I had no idea that we had an environment map shader we could use on entities. Here is a crate inappropriately reflecting the sun.

NEATO!

Le video:


As you can see in the first run, it wasn't cutting the image correctly, so you see 2 colours, in the second run it only displays one colour block per frame, like it should.

This is VERY exciting!! Now we can do things like...for instance...make a cinema screen or TV set with actual content, make window "blinds" that show shadows moving in the background, project complex "lighting" effects on to walls, have multiple sequences in a single decal (and associate that decal with entities) and in general just have smoother animated 2D effects.

FANTASTIC, Budo!!

I added a new ticket, for decal speed, I think that would be pretty useful. Do you have any other ideas for decal functions that could help you?

Other than the functions you have already created, the only other thing I can think of right now is the ability to reverse playback direction.

This is sooo cool, btw.

Added, until the next beta, you could still do this in script.

And let me know if you find any bugs (I'm kind of expecting them, because I didn't do any testing).

I think there is an issue with speed right now. When I use it, it causes a gap in the loop but doesn't slow the animation rate. In other words, the animation plays at full speed but then there is a pause (with nothing visible) before the loop plays again.

Where is everyone, btw?

Maybe it's time to release another model. I've got this really nice snow mobile but there's an issue with some of the normals being flipped on one side of it so I've not released it yet. But maybe I will get on that today. Would like to see more activity here. Free stuff seems to usually bring a few people out.

I'll just post 'em as I come across 'em.

It doesn't appear that speed does anything right now. I tried one decal at speed = 20 (declared in the fpe) and the same decal without the speed parameter and they both run identically. Also, the gap occurs in both of 'em. across = 4, down = 16

Next I will start playing with the FPI commands. I will use 4x4 decals so as not to confuse the issues.

Yep, I've fixed this one. Also, the time is in milliseconds and X10 runs decals at a default speed of 20 ms, so 20 and 0 are the same. try 6000 and it should be 1S difference between frames.

:state=0:rundecal=2
:state=0:setdecalspeed=5

This generates an array out of bounds error. But as I am reading your new post I think I understand why. I was thinking it was 0-100. Gotcha.

I'll see if I can fix this, it will probably do the same for the other .fpi commands too.

One other thing I thought of that would be really useful would be the ability to move decals. Right now, you can't use movefore, floatrate, etc. on decals.

hi guys, been on holiday for 2 weeks,is there a way to attach a decal to a moving entity, they have them attached to the chugshot, so i am guessing it is possible, this would totally make a fireball more firebally than the x model being launched with great damage and explosion, but if attached a good decal it would kick ass

well ignore some of that so how do you attach a decal to a bullet or an entity

It in fpe file you must declare the decal like this for instance:

;Decals
decalmax = 1
decal0 = srealist_particle02

Then in the main fpi file you must use the action rundecal. For instance

rundecal=2 will make the decal loop and face the player.

I use a box mesh with a 64x64 texture and a black alpha. This way you can see the entity in the editor but it is invisible in game, showing only the decal.

I posted a video a while back showing this technique along with some spawning settings to create particle effects. It's pretty neato.

Now, I'm not the richest guy, but, i can donate. What sort of thing has other people been donating. I don't want to be a skinflint!

You can email the answer if you want.

@Unfamillia:
£10 is a good amount, that's what gets you the private betas and the other donor exclusive stuff (list is on the first post, at the bottom).

The shaders would have to be converted to X10 shaders, which unfortunately, none of us really understand.
