jomart2000, if you don't use the name of halo anywhere in your homebrew you will avoid problems....

Frack when can we expect the final of the new frack mod? :)

[Frack]

SWE_PsYcHo, I'm working on two differents engines at the same time, the dungeons engine 2 and on the quake 1 engine With Kurok, i'll maybe make a single player frack mod with the DE2 and a multiplayer one for Kurok, using the same level design for the two homebrews and using the advantages of each homebrews..
The Dungeons Editor is in constant progress but not 100% optimised yet, i've not enough fps for now for my news levels, so we have to wait for the nexts editor's updates .

Sounds great :) do you got an estimate of when the single player mod may be released or something? :)

[Frack]

MAYBE for christmas, but a second demo could be realeased before..

[kazuni]

nice development, gotta try this out

something to look forward for :)

I've just uploaded version 1.0.6

- some internal map format changes: the map editor can open the old versions, but the game can't (so open the map in the editor and goto file / create game format)

editor changes:

- set hitpoints of each enemy

game changes:

- set hitpoints of player (config.txt)
- faster rendering of world geometry

Dude, now that is pretty beast right there. Very very nice.

[SWE_PsYcHo]

Wow. That is really good. Platforms took me a while to figure out, great addition to the game. I never would have thought of that. Beast map.

Waypoints would be pretty cool for bots, you could have hallways with gaurds walking along them. Also, a customizable enemy sight range would be awesome.

[Frack]

Nice update Charnold and The Deadly Castle is cool too BTR711.

Hey,


I've run into a little bit of a problem with the editor, well really it's the game thats causing the problem.


I'm applying 3 textures to a component face, a background, an image with transparency and the same image glowing (in that order).

In the editor it's looking like this:



But in the game, however only the PSP version I get this:




For that component face I have used the following settings:

Slot 1 - Green Background Texture

Default Settings

Slot 2 - Bronze Panel

Blending: Alpha Blend
Rest of settings Default

Slot 3 - Bronze Panel Glow

Blending: GLOW_SIN_SLO
Rest of settings Default


Now, Im no expert but I'd imagine that the aplha transparency on slot 3 is being replaced by black on the PSP as it doesn't support that unless set to 'alpha blend'. However, Windows does so its working fine in the editor and the PC version of the game.

Is there any way round this or is this something that could be patched in an update to the engine?


Thanks in advance,
JamesX

In the editor, you can select the psp-pixelformat for the texture. Did you select a format, that supports an alpha channel (5650 = doesn't support alpha, 4444 = 4 bit for alpha, 8888 = 8 bit for alpha, ...)

Thanks, this worked perfectly! I had the pixelformat set to 5650 but a quick change to 8888 has corrected the problem.


Thanks Again!

[BTR711]

thanks to those of you who liked my game =)

im now working on something new and hopefully it will be awesome =) much more complex world. with many hidden things(not gona tell)

[BTR711]

do normal solid textures(ones that do not flash, light up and or move affect the frame rate of the game?
what causes the biggest slowdown for the frame rate? (that bogs down the psp)

i thought that you said that you would be giving us a new zoom so we can make smaller things like paper, is there any word on that? because the zoom factor 11-13 makes the same size pieces

[charnold]

To speed up texture rendering, you can:
- select a 16 bit color format (4444, 5551 or 5650), and not the 32 bit format (8888)
- use lower resolution textures
- load the most used textures to vram

I'll add a new zoom in the next updates!

thansk
so do textures slow down the frame rate?

Yes, like games in lua the More things ( in this case textures) on objects in a Map the less FPS But only a hell load of textures would seriously lower the FPS depending on bit and the image file-size

[charnold]

Best, turn off vsync (to show the real fps) and try different texture settings, so you can see, how much they affect the framerate of your maps.

[bartamues]

Could someone walk me through the EXACT actions, down to the click and keystroke, of the steps I should follow to construct one box as one map area, then another cube as another map area, and link them?

It would be very much appreciated.

[BetaSword]

Out of curiosity, is there any possibility of proper collision detection with non-cuboid objects, such as 45 degree angle walls? Just wondering. Besides that, I do say, this is awesome indeed.
