Hi Ats, Apart FilterCutoff and FilterQ, are there other ZGE filters that can be applied in real time to those generated sounds? Like BaseNoteNr or Osc1Waveform? Are those filters instantaneous when playing the sound? I'm a noob when it comes to synth :lol: If your Sound component uses a Sample it ov...

If the "prototype" he's referring to is this .. then i guess so? And the "sound effect wizard" was Ville's idea.

Hi Ats, Nope, this is still crashing. But buffer.SizeDim1 = S + 4; works fine :lol: Ah .. in that case it's probably a rounding-error caused by the SampleExpression. Try the following: - Add a MySampleIndex ( type = int ) variable - Change the SampleExpression to "this.Sample = buffer[MySampleI...

Hi Ats,

The only "crashes" / errors i'm seeing on my end are "array access out of range" errors. You need to make sure your buffer array is large enough to fit the sound you're generating. But perhaps you're getting different errors?

Hi Ats, Weirdly enough, KeyPress:KeyPress isn't an issue. You can't use KeyPress as variable type in the scripting language .. while you can use File / Sample / Sound. But now I'm wondering if sfxr could be wrapped to work as an external library (dll and so), just like ZGEBullet, so that we could sy...

Hi guys,

It might be easier to see how TSynEdit-2 has implemented triple-click and only add that .. instead of swapping to the entire fork.

Hi Ats, Is it possible to add a triple-click to select an entire paragraph? The regular TSynEdit control doesn't support this ( which is what ZGameEditor uses ) .. but apparently it was added to TSynEdit-2 in 2020.

Hi Ats, It doesn't glow outside the mesh. Is that a restriction due to me not using a texture, or is there something else that I don't understand in the logic? It doesn't have anything to do with whether you're using vertex-colors or a texture or not. A fragment shader will only process the pixels t...

Hi Ats, I always wondered why the planets with rings had severe z-order problems (but not on NVIDIA video cards). It's not really NVIDIA related / exclusive. When ZGE ( or a standalone made with ZGE ) boots it requests a pixel format for the OpenGL context from the OS. This is only a request though,...

Hi Ats, I'm not sure if a 16-bit buffer is outdated, but if it dates back to 2001, there probably aren't many devices still working to use it. Perhaps an option to choose between 16 and 24 would be helpful? Same as legacy and ES2/GL3. I don't know. It's outdated yes. The RIVA TNT from 1998 already s...

... @Kjell do you have an idea? Maybe the preview is using a depth buffer that is configured differently. I had no idea ZGE was (still) requesting a 16-bit depth buffer :shock: Anyway, the editor gets a 24-bit depth buffer for some reason, while standalones do get a 16-bit depth buffer ( on some sys...

Hi Ats, I'm writing a diffuse + dithering shader (I think I do), with a pixel density that stays the same regardless of the game resolution You could use gl_FragCoord for that. Here's a super-basic example .. "dithering" happens at pixel size of 4x4 pixels regardless of the viewport size (...

Hi Ats, I'm trying to retrieve the screen resolution inside a shader What do you need the screen resolution for in your shader? If it's just to calculate "ditherScale", then simply calculate that value in a ZExpression instead and pass the result as a ShaderVariable. But it's easier to giv...

Hmm, @Ville: Maybe instead of just translating the preview ( of MeshEditFrame ) based on Mesh.BoundSphere, the (model)view matrix could also be scaled ( using BoundSphere.Radius ) so that the mesh fits in view by default? That way you don't have to fiddle with the clipping range / projection matrix. K

Hi, I run a program on Windows using DLL, but when I compile it to Android, it doesn't run on Android, what should I do? A DLL file is very similar to a EXE file and is therefore platform-specific and will only work on Windows. Android has a similar shared library concept though, using the SO extens...
