good job, I like it, now make it load in any modle that can be animated so we can place thease objects in any map we load. then make it possible to save the said script as a dark basic pro project file so we can edit it our self's then you would have become my best friend.

Any model will be able to load in eventually, you will be able to export the world as some sort of file, but i'm not so sure its going to be compatable with dark basic pro, thats not exactly where I was leaning towards with this, sorry

I'm currently working on creating a server and making the client multiplayer capeable.

Released V0.5

All current function now syncs between clients, still a tad buggy in some areas, mostly due to the physx library not changing prop rotations.

oh, whoops. typing it in without the port worked...
it's pretty good, the collision is a bit buggy, and just a recommendation, you should eventually create a "spawn" menu to choose more mesh types.

mike5434 what opeating system do you have and is it 32 or 64 bits?

thenerd the next tool im making is to retexture a mesh, then after that I am going to make a selection screen to choose sphere, cube, pyramid, cylinder etc.. the collision is still a bit buggy yes but I sadly have no control over it because FulcrumPhysics also handles collision and I am awaiting its next release to clear up about 3 different bugs.

That has something to do with the physics library, that library has been causing a plentyful of bugs, a new update for it is supposed to be released by the end of the month that clears up all of the current problems so I am awaiting that release. I posted that image with a question on the librarys thread so hopfully I will get a response soon.

Well without the server you would just be playing by yourself and that just doesn't sell!

The server doesn't play that big of a role as of now, but later down the road it shall be quite an important factor. Imagine being able to walk off the edge of one server onto that of another

and what made you belive this would sell? being able to go from one server to another? getting people to always have there servers going is the main problem with this. people are lazy, very very lazy. and when people learn they have to go some extra steeps just to turn on there servers to play, they will play something else. thats my gist of it, just my thoughts

take me as an example, I really dont like having to type in my ip adress to get into it. how many more people are there out there like me?

I hate typing the ip address into it already, but as later versions come that ip input box will be removed and replaced with a list of servers currently running, on your local network and internet wide!

EDIT: There will be no extra steps to setting up a server, just download program and run, the master server will do the rest of the coordinations between the clients and multiple servers

What did you do to fix it? I have not tried it myself yet, I'll let you know when I get around to it.
If I know what caused it I can handle it with an error giving more information, so no-one else makes the same mistake.

I was doing this: myPhysics.simulate() at the beginning of the loop then myPhysics.getphysicsresults() at the end of the loop

I read your other post on the actual physics thread that said you shouldnt do anything really during the simulations cause it can mess the scene up, so thats what I did!

Its working great for me now, how do you change the tool?
I will take a guess and say the mouse wheel may change the tool, if so then you may want to allow the function keys to also do it as I'm on a laptop and have no mouse.

When talking to Techlord about a level editor for dosp he mentioned having assets etc on a server somewhere and let more than one person work on a level at any one time. This game will give a good indication of what is possible and what is not, when it is time to create our editor it will be interesting to see what you have achieved.

Good luck with this, its really interesting.

Thanks! I'll look into using the number keys above the qwerty area for changing tools, I had not thought about laptops without scroll wheels

And looking forward to this weekends update for FulcrumPhysics!

Major work is being done to this! I'm totally rewriting the system wrapping many of the GDk core functions to lua, wrapping my classes to lua, and am going to write all of the core function in lua, there will be the ability to add custom scripts for tools/objects/gui's whatever the game has available

I'll be posting the progress here in a day or two when ive gotten it back to where it was before.
