ZGameEditor forum

I have version control in Dropbox, but I often save more than the history limit allows. My SublimeText script saves the file in order to run it. I could try a revert, like I did yesterday, but this is the second time ZGE has broken all the characters in my years-long project in just two days. So I’m...

Yeah… the open web keeps shrinking. Everything needs walls now just to stay online against bots, making the experience tiresome for us humans. On my own server, I’ve had to set up aggressive rules to detect suspicious connections and automatically quarantine them for a week. The logs show thousands ...

All right, so it was ZGameEditor that put "iso-8859-1" in the XML encoding, so everything was normal after all. But I made the mistake of saving my project from ZGE, so now all the éèù... characters are permanently broken. This time, they’ve all been replaced by "?", so I can’t e...

Never mind, I found it. The problem was coming from the .zgeproj's xml definition:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
instead of
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

I have no idea how this was changed...

Hello, I have a nez weird problem today... Do you happen to know what the file encoding of .zgeproj files is? I believe it’s UTF-8, right? Since yesterday, when I open my project in Sublime Text and then open it in ZGameEditor, all the French characters are messed up. I can’t save my project in ZGam...

All versions of OpenGL ES support GL_LINES, GL_LINE_LOOP and GL_LINE_STRIP. Oh, ok. Reddit is so full of crap :lol: Anyway, I have something that is working a bit like I want. I'm going to try it on Android, to see if it is showing up. And I'll make it better, faster and stronger another day. <?xml...

Oh, thanks. Coloring each triangle with 3 colors was that I was trying to do, but I didn't know I could put a ZExpression inside a Mesh Producers. So I was kind of stuck, wondering if I had to edit the mesh inside blender or something... Your example is really helpful. I don't seem to find a simple ...

Hello. I'm trying to write a shader to display the edges of a model, just like the basic Material Wireframe, but that should work on Android. I'm getting to something, but the lines are in the middle of the faces, not on the edges. And I'm kind of lost :lol: What is wrong with the way I'm doing this...

Hello. Today I'm trying to make a moving water splash trail, but with low polygon count. Something in between this realistic animation: https://app.productioncrate.com/assets/vfx/fc_effects/footagecrate-water-splash-trail-1 and the effect seen on both sides of the boat in Wind Waker: windwaker.jpg A...

I guess that's why the File component has the FileEmbedded property :wink: I guess you are right. My method make sense for all the spaceship datas that are stored, modified and generated from the sheet, but for the music volumes, since the txt files already exist, that makes total sense. You can, y...

Maybe this is the simplest way to achieve this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> <ZApplication Name="App" Caption="ZGameEditor application" FileVersion="2"> <OnLoaded> <ZLibrary Comment="Music Volumes" HasInitializer="1&quo...

Hahaha I have one last problem regarding the same number storage within the game :lol: When my game isn’t in DEBUG_MUSIC mode, I would like to embed the volumes of the music instruments directly in the game, instead of relying on external text files. Typically, in other languages, I would store my a...

Oh yeah, I overdid it
Thanks a lot!

I managed to read my list of numbers from the txt file, but that seems overly complicated. Am I doing it right? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> <ZApplication Name="App" Caption="ZGameEditor application" FileVersion="2"> <OnLoaded> <FileA...

After some reflection, I realized I’m going to need to read an external file to make tweaks on the modules without having to compile an EXE. It’s for the musician :) Right now, I’m saving the modules’ volumes in an array when I first scan the SunVox files: void ListMusicModules() { // Get the total ...
