ZGameEditor forum

Here's something I managed to put together during the last two months. It's just my attempt at throwing a few cubes on the screen and rotating them -the first capture can be seen here: gif . Since I'm not a programmer I wanted to keep it super simple (I wouldn't be able to pull off even this if it w...

This works too, but for comparison (OnRender): UseMaterial SetColor RenderSprite (which would be possible if the SetColor had an option to inherit Alpha) to me immediately conveys what it does while variations of (OnRender): ZExpression (comment goes here) UseMaterial RenderSprite (from Kjell's exam...

Thanks for taking a look! (I just uploaded a new version with some cosmetic differences but the principle is the same as in the old version.) Yes maybe putting the code in OnUpdate would be better but regardless it's still something that feels a bit like playing catching up. I could also use some ot...

Hi Rado1, Attached is an example that will hopefully clarify the issue. It's a version of the example you posted. Please look in the OnUpdate event. As you can see the Alpha is modified, but this has no effect on the original Model. I added a copy of the flower in the middle of the screen just so yo...

It would be very handy to have an option for RenderSetColor not to affect Alpha channel (maybe a tickbox or something simple like that). Right now I have a few models all using the same Material. The Models should all be of different colors but keep the Alpha from the Material which is changed durin...

Oh that's right, I'm using a theme (Turquoise Gray). Yes I'm pretty sure I didn't check a pixel at the edges since I'm not using AAed text. I didn't know themes can change even the color of the text in the Project Tree. This particular theme works really well for me (I prefer the text to be slightly...

Rado1 is right, in its current implementation the readability is a problem. I think adding another color would end up messy because the icons in the project tree are pretty colorful already. It seems to me that the problem is not using gray (gray per se is not an instant readability killer as long a...

It would probably be easier to read if the comments in the Project Tree were a bit lighter. Also if the type and the name were swapped, it'd reduce the "stairs" effect that one bumps into when going through the list. I'm attaching an example.

Edit: cropped the image

That's not what it looks like (the Zexpression continues to be rendered as having focus in the Project Tree etc)… but nevermind that since there's something more problematic: each of the skins except "Windows" causes the console to flash to pure white on each update.

Moving the right hand border of the Properties panel can end up in it disappearing completely if moved all the way to the left. See the video. Fortunately (?) ZGE doesn't save its own layout (except for what can be set in the preferences) so a restart will give you the Properties panel back. Also if...

This would be great!

Thanks so much!!! Downloading

Just wanted to confirm the new version doesn't crash when changing styles. Other glitches and crashes (at least the ones appearing on my computer) also seem to be sorted out in the newest build. Thanks!

If all goes well (haha!) I'll have some holidays next month… during which I'm planning to study ZGE. However I'll be without internet access so I thought of preparing some study material in advance by grabbing some examples from the forum, printing the online documentation and downloading the tutori...

Changing the Style (simply through the "Style" menu) a few times in a row can lead to a crash that can only be exited through Task Manager violence. Pic here.
