CJB fixed the missing terrain texture problem by checking "Convert DDS ..." option in the GUI , if anyone else has a similar problem

WIP: New water for the next update:





You can define how mush transparency you like to use:

daily3D.com: updated , just login and download.
TGC accounts: update ready, release Friday 5th.
Steam: update ready, release Friday 5th.

ggloader132.zip
GGLoaderGUI111.zip

GUI 1.11:

Include bug fixes.

A new status bar to show progress.

Run faster, and remember you can now use skip “copy/convert if already exist”, so if you get a new DLC / Media its mush mush faster now, huge thanks to Sascha

GameGuru Loader 1.32:

Bug fixes.

Added: TPP camera support.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iv3rcmJIo64

Added: Support for multiply GameGuru levels in the same AppGameKit project.
Instead of putting your level in /media/gameguru/ you can now also use /media/level1/ and call this function to load and play a new level - loadlevel("level1")
your first level must still go into /media/gameguru/

Added: Water shader. works on all platforms.





Get your copy here:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/623270/AppGameKit__GameGuru_Loader/

If you already tried GameGuru Loader, please post a review on steam, that would REALLY help me, and our friend GameGuru Loader

Hi,

Did you manage to cull the terrain like gl_ClipDistance would do or do you discard the pixels for the Water reflection and refraction and process the terrain two times ?

I don't have GG Loader, so I can't say, but if you need/want some help ...just ask me
Or take my water shader as example, but it uses discard.

janbo: Thanks really appreciate that , i already use discard and vertex clipping , i thought you meant setting the camera projection matrix to do the clipping (without calling vertex / pixel) , think we discussed how we could do this before , i never got that working , but i do use LOD Terrain , i also made a DX9 version so you can draw your LOD directly in GameGuru ( https://forum.game-guru.com/thread/216864 ) , vertex is clipping flat triangles by adjusting the gl_Position this gives a nice boost, the rest is clipped using pixel discard. But i still think camera clipping would be the fastest way to do this

Yes I meant that.

Quote: "vertex is clipping flat triangles by adjusting the gl_Position this gives a nice boost"

What you mean with flat triangles ?
And what are you doing with the vertices then ? positioning them outside the view frustum, so it gets clipped ?

[edit]
Just read your other post ^^
As I understand it you indeed define a threshold of terrain height at which level you position the vertices outside the view frustum if they are at a LOD stage far away ?!
Uh when did you add DoF ?
I like your project very much

In distance water goes from transparent to non transparent , when water is non transparent and cover terrain , it will check the normal in the vertex and if the normal is flat (normal.y > 0.98) and position.y < waterlevel , then the terrain is non visible (covered by water) , so it just place the gl_Position outside the view
You need to make your terrain underwater flat to use this , else the triangle could have one vertex above water and one below

GameGuru Loader users: You can just draw your LOD terrain directly in GameGuru to get a huge FPS increase, see link above. ( dark blue water in GameGuru = LOD Terrain ).

Okay, so its still a shader ...Vertex shader where you pass the water Height and you have the vertex position and normal in a vertex shader, you can then make your checks you mentioned...
Nice idea !
But the threshold at which distance the vertices get clipped must vary, not ?
I can imagine scenes where you could see the clipped vertices, for example if the viewer is near the water height and the potential vertices are very deep in the water.
So to make it stable, you must take the viewer into account.
You could calculate at which distance you can hide the vertex if you also pass the camera and view direction or the View Matrix.

I'm just curious and thinking out loud

janbo: It has a small safe zone so i have never been able to spot it , well above water , when you go below water i had to make some "dirty water" (fog) to hide it , but that looks pretty cool anyway ...

Added the water shaders directly to GameGuru, you can now download the shader from any daily3D.com account:

And its DX11 ready! ( if you do not know what that means, your missing out on some great GameGuru news , check the forum ).

This is one of the best 3D projects I've seen come out for AppGameKit! A great way for the community to challenge the portable gaming market by bringing the benefits of Gameguru and AppGameKit together.

I hope this gets well used by the AppGameKit developers.

Well done Preben, keep on making follower-gainz in the steam community.

BOTR: Thanks

TIP: Soldiers can hold any type of gun , simple to change , search ggfunc.agc for "colt.png" to see how , it will locate and use the GameGuru "FIRESPOT" so you just need to set what gun to use and everything else is automated.

Hmm... I actually bought this recently more out of desire to support devs here than anything... but I am wanting to play around making a tiny fps or rpg game this weekend. Maybe I should invest the time to really check out GameGuru and this loader (that I also bought a while back).

Can I import my own assets into GameGuru? I don't have any ambitions to make something like the screenshots and videos here that look basically hd modern type games. I'd be using purely geometric shapes or ultra low poly models. And when I say that I mean make a tree out of maybe half a dozen cubes or 1 cube and a few spheres for example.

Could I load such models in to GameGuru, build the level then use your exporter to generate the files needed to load it all into App Game Kit 2?

If anyone else knows feel free to answer since @Preben said he is on vacation.

game guru has a basic model importer for .x models which should work fine for static objects (as long as they're in .x of course).
animated objects can be quite difficult to import depending on the settings and structure of the model and will likely have to be imported by hand (creating the required .fpe file etc), it should still work as long as it's within the requirements for GG (poly limit etc).

but yes GG loader supports all media used in your game guru map (as long as you convert it first with the conversion process).

Thanks @smallg I had a play around with Game Guru last night. I had checked it out briefly before and man I must say it is so much better building with this then it was in the Unity Scene Editor. Game Guru level building is very slick.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about it to know how to color things. My models come in completely void of colors and so far I haven't found any place in Game Guru to set the colors of these models.

I didn't plan on using textures at all for this little project but I could just make solid color images to use for the colors and see if that works.

As it is currently I am using .3ds model format and they come in looking like this...


I'll make some quick solid color textures and apply and see if that makes a difference. I guess I could try exporting in X format as well.

Overall though I watched a couple of videos on YT last night that showed a guy going over how easy it was to create an RPG game with Game Guru and I must say it was very impressive in itself.
In fact, I know at least a couple of people on the Unity forums who would probably love GameGuru but I won't bother wasting my time and risking ticking people off over there telling them about it.
If they want to use Unity let them use Unity. I personally don't understand it. Right tool for the job and all of that. And from what I can see GG is the right tool for making an RPG unless it has some severe limitations that guy never ran into in his video series. I mean truly he was making quests in just a matter of a minute or two. It was darn impressive.

Alright I will play around with it some more. I'd almost be tempted to just use GG myself but it seems geared more towards making graphically impressive games / modernish games where I am thinking more of ultra low poly solid colors at best and possibly just cubes and such. lol

Worst case I will just not use GG for a world editor and do it all in AGK. After messing around with GG importing last night I did start on a very bare bones scene purely in AGK.


And that is what the trees should look like.

you can't paint or apply a texture directly in GG, it must have one already so yh creating a solid texture would work for now (you can likely find someone to edit the trunk and top on the GG forums as it's also a very helpful place, if you don't know how yourself).
GG is simple but it's certainly not complete and as such has it's own limits and bugs too, GG's a great project but i wouldn't recommend it for working on a real project til it gets developed futher... but for a world editor to use for AppGameKit with GGLoader it works well

Thanks @smallg I figured that was probably the case. I revisited this today, unwrapped the tree and made a super simple solid colors texture. This works fine.



I haven't tried the Loader yet. I ended up finding GG itself quite interesting and working on a very tiny game. BUT I will check it out soonish. Probably my next game dev session sometime next week.

Anyway thanks for the fast reply!

I got a version that are able to use the build in shadows, but the builtin shadows have some problems/missing features that need to get fixed before it can be used, im still testing this , but the current AppGameKit builtin shadow is slower then what we already got, dont work in html5 and on some mobiles, dont support transparent images / alpha mask , so grass/tree/windows/fences/... dont look correct , it just displays the mesh directly, missing support for SetObjectCullMode 0 objects ... , anyway im working on it and will let Paul know what need to be fixed, so we can use it

Ok. I am more than happy to continue using the GG Loader shadows. I thought there was going to be a huge speed gain with the built-in shadows, but if not then it's not a problem.

GG and GG Loader are incredibly underrated. I started messing with it this weekend, and I am so glad to tried this out. My only complaint so far is the limitation on .x files.

Im super interested with the loader, but GG itself i had it but not really easy to do anything with it. One question again, do i need to manually texture the level once i exported it from GG to AGK2?
Do GG support blender directly? Since i want to use GG and Loader as part of "3d pipeline"..possible? Thanks

it will look almost the same as you see in GG (a few minor differences because obviously AppGameKit and GG do some things differently but generally it's the same), you can then of course edit everything in AppGameKit afterwards as you would any other project if you wish.

Quote: "Do GG support blender directly? Since i want to use GG and Loader as part of "3d pipeline"..possible? Thanks"

yes and no, GG supports .X format but it can be a bit fussy sometimes with the exact inner workings, especially for (character) animations and such.

I've finally bitten the bullet and picked up a Steam copy to compliment my original daily3d purchase.

Thanks again for all of the work that you've put in to this, Preben. GG Loader is a game changer for 3D projects created with AGK.

Apologies in advance for this question...

So I am an old 'daily3d.com' supporter , decided to dust off the GameGuru Loader 4 AGK2 and downloaded v1.36 for a test run (and impressed by the new features!)

Converted the GG media (multiple times) but for the life of me can't get it to display the terrain texture(s) on PC/Mac running under AppGameKit (however broadcasting seems to be ok?) All other objects and entities are fine

There is something I'm missing or a flag not set correctly so looking for some pointers

What I DO know is vegmask_result.png doesn't generate (using loaderGUI) but no problem as can convert vegmask.dds back to vegmask_result.png from .fpm file

Local files location does generate baked-m.png and baked-vegmask.png correctly

As far as I can tell, ggshadersetup.agc uses vegmask_result.png to generate the texture on the fly. So still little lost as to where I'm going wrong?

Here is a snapshot of the fantasy level running (have the same 'no terrain texture' result for all GG levels )

Do I need to set a default ground texture somewhere?

Many thanks in advance

Itchy: Ups you forgot the screenshot , anyway if the terrain is "black" then you just need to upgrade AppGameKit to the latest version, there was a problem in the previous release that prevented some custom shaders from working, but paul made a quick update , so the latest AppGameKit version should work with no problems.

hoyoyo80:

Not directly you need to export as .x in blender, i already tried to use one big object as a level ( uploading video now ) , you should just remember to use a atlas texture for everything , then import into GameGuru and it should work , if you also want it to work in Loader you just copy the original .x into the same folder that you have the imported GameGuru level, thats it.
See video when it finish uploading ( 2 hours left ).

Edit: Video also show all the NEW features in GameGuru Loader 1.38 , this version is now ready and should be released very very shortly

I already purchased it

But sorry to ask it here, I can understand how GG work, but mixing GG+AGK ( and also the *new visual editor*+AGK) really make me wonder hows things work hand in hand. My question on the Loader and AppGameKit is:

GG loader provide the usage of AI pathfinding in AppGameKit, i mean load GG Level and u have AI patrolling using the path? And then its up to the coder to determine how to react to player right?Of course. But will they resume the patrolling routine later?

I just need to understand.

Thanks

@ Preben - "...if you have something you like to see in the next update, please let me know"

Hopefully this is ok to post here, but any chance of adding a VR option? this link has some functions which might suit? https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/219797

Making some progress on integrating but really need to break the ggloader down to see where best to call the VR updates

Yes!

Quote: " And then its up to the coder to determine how to react to player right?Of course. But will they resume the patrolling routine later? "

Yes its up to the coder to decide what will happen , the default AI is made so you can build on it like you want. But the good news is that i already made it so when the "soldier" fire at you , and you hide so he cant see you , then the "soldier" WILL resume patrolling , so you do not have to code that bit yourself

That would be a great addition , i will take a look and see how it would fit the best.

Stab in the Dark software:
Is it ok that we use your "better faster VR implementation", please

Thanks for that Preben. In short is, we can fully utilized GG Pathfinding in 3d games. If so, it is super neat!

For the next update, VR rendering in GG Loader.

Added stab's distorted mesh to the rendering.
Added vignette post processing to hide ugly edges when in VR render.
Added stab's bluetooth joystick code.
Support all functions/shaders so you can scale the shaders from mobile to desktop, including all post processing shaders like fxaa ...



I cant test ANY of this (yet), so if Itchy or CJB want to give the beta a spin , give me a e-mail plemsoft@plemsoft.com
