ZGameEditor forum

Kjell reminded me that this is GL ES 2. I've tried to make changes here to fix it. Please try this version of ZBitmap.

Right, we need some good old printf-debugging. Please re-enable the call to GLESPixelsFromTexture. Then: 1. Add "ZPlatform" to the uses list in ZBitmap 2. Find the GLESPixelsFromTexture function at line 101 in ZBitmap.pas 3. Add "Platform_Error" calls after each line inside GLESP...

The log still doesn't give anything useful, sadly.

But lets try to figure out where the problem could be.

Please try comment out line 169 in ZBitmap (the call to GLESPixelsFromTexture) and then rebuild Android binary.

I think that log is filtered somehow. It should at least show some kind of info from the Android OS when it crashes. Can you check the log filter settings? I don't remember the details but I think there is some start up parameter to filter the output.

Have you rebuilt the Android binary recently? Please check that it is built from the latest ZGE sources.

Do you get any crash log?

I see. I wish there would be a generic OpenGL driver that translates calls to DirectX or Metal. The ANGLE project is interesting but only supports GLES. I would like full desktop OpenGL 1.0 to 3.0 functionality available everywhere.

Hi Kjell,

That sounds strange. How can a requirement for a certain level of DirectX compatibility end up with some GPUs only supporting OpenGL 1.1?

The official build is now 5.0 (since its been years since we last updated the version number).

Main changes in this build:
- Classes support in scripting
- ZGameEditor and the runtime engine is now 64-bit

There is some code in frmMain that fills the most-recently-used list of filenames in the File menu. You could take a look there.

As for getting a list of filenames, I think there is some code in frmMain too that use "GetFiles".

Its been a long time since I looked at the ZGE Java code. Maybe the recommended way to initialize an OpenGL application is completely different now compared to when this code was written. When I try searching for "Android transparent OpenGL surface" then the normal problem seems to be that...

Not really. It is just an optional way of organizing your code and may seem more natural if you have previously used a language such as Java.

NES Donkey Kong works pretty good.

Updated beta in first post. As a test project for the class inheritance feature I ported a simple NES emulator from Java to ZGE. It is a very basic emulator that only seem to support 24kb NES files. And ZGE scripting struggles a bit to keep up a stable frame rate. But it works :). The main purpose h...

Unless the new beta is a fork from before the merge between Classes and the other fixes? It is a fork but should still work. I found the problem with bitmapcells and will fix it. About the missing alpha in vertex colors, I could initialize this to 1.0 but I also want to understand why this is not n...

Inheritance in classes is now implemented. Updated beta in first post and the classesdemo-project now use inheritance.
