Hi guys,

Just chiming in that i haven't had any Windows Defender false-positives on my computer(s) either since the September 27, 2018 occurrence.

Hi jinxtengu, I am interested in coding a radar showing the positions of enemies in relation to the player, similar to the old game Battlezone Personally i wouldn't call what Battlezone 2000 on ATARI Lynx does a "radar" .. it's more like a mini-map. A radar only updates the location of objects it de...

Do I always have to refer to a particular file name in order to stop it or is there a way to just issue a command "Stop current playing track"? You can assign a alias ... which requires the file to be opened & closed ( instead of just play & stop ). It's pretty straight-forward though, here's a mod...

Hi rrTea, Is there any way to control the volume? I'm trying to fade a song at a particular point at the end of the stage. Sure, put the following ZExpression in App.OnUpdate of the Sunset example for a demonstration ( move mouse up & down to control the volume ). float v = (App.MousePosition.Y+1)*5...

Hi rrTea, So I tested my new project (was just getting ready to publish it) and it came out with a 20/66 score ("seriously suspicious" I assume), crazy! I have no idea what to do :( Once you're completely done with a project, you can submit it to the AV vendors that have detected it as false-positiv...

Hi rrTea, Maybe ZGE should have an additional build option "year 2020 version" where it produces a 64 Mb exe for an empty project, I bet such a file would be treated with much more respect >:-P I know this is just a snarky / jokingly remark. But you can easily put this to the test by adding a File c...

Hi Ats, I'm afraid this is not possible ( out of the box ). The easiest workaround would probably be to wrap the IAudioMeterInformation interface in a DLL so you can call GetPeakValue from ZGE. By the way, the MasterVolume property simply controls the overall volume of all audio in your project, it ...

Hi jinxtengu, Obviously I'd like to have a standard height reached regardless of the speed the game is currently running on. Getting the exact same jumping height using a varying time-step is actually a little more tricky than you might think ... that being said you probably want to use "CurrentMode...

Hi jinxtengu, Any chance this could be simplified for use under version 1.9.9 of z game editor? Not sure if "simplified" is the correct word as 1.9.9 lacks a couple of features that actually make things easier, but sure .. here's a version for 1.9.9. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> <ZAp...

Hej Ville, It should work to update those properties in OnBeginRenderPass though. But I haven't followed the details of this thread so I guess there is a reason you are not doing that. He's using 2 render passes ( one for each eye ) but wants the mouse coordinates for the entire screen ... and since...

Hi Ats, Ville informed me that the AspectRatio properties aren't meant to be updated in real-time / mid-frame, so it's better to not touch any of those values and to just modify the projection matrix instead ( might sound intimidating .. but it's super easy ). Here's a quick & dirty example. <?xml v...

Hi Ats, F10 key (code 121) seems to do nothing F10 is a bit of a special case in Windows. It's possible to get it to work, but you need a bit of a workaround .. here's a snippet from MSDN ( for Ville ). If the F10 key is pressed, the DefWindowProc function sets an internal flag. When DefWindowProc r...
