ZGameEditor forum

The funny thing is that a early version of ZGE (before first release) actually had a pattern editor for music. Although it was very primitive and quite difficult to use. I figured that no one wants to compose music this way so I threw it out when I started the midi-import function instead. Of course...

Sounds like a good idea.
How is the Stretch property used in the code?

This seems to be a good site with plenty of information:

JPHs Artificial Nature game is mentioned.

I like the sounds jph! Right-click on a envelope to set value seems to be a quick solution, I will try that. About midi-presets: I'm not sure which way to go with music support in ZGE. The midi-instrument file is there for anyone to play around with (MidiInstruments.xml, rename to zgeproj to open in...

Progress update: I've made the changes and it seems to work alright, but I need to clean up the code some more before releasing.

Suggestion: Two new properties on application: ViewportRatio dropdown (Use full window, Custom, 4:3, 16:9) "Use full window" is the default and gives the current zge 1.9.0 behavior of rendering to the full window. CustomViewportRatio numeric value, used when ViewportRatio is "Custom&q...

I googled and found an article about this: http://www.blender.org/development/release-logs/blender-234/opengl-normals/ The technique for telling opengl that a material is inside-out is switching the triangle direction betweeen counter-clockwise and clockwise. This could be added to the rendertransfo...

The problem with the invertnormals-suggestion is that it implies having to loop through and change the normals which is a geometry generation functionality that shouldn't be in the render-components in my opinion. Perhaps if there is a way to tell opengl to invert the normals automatically with a st...

I've just tried your example. I think using negative scale values can lead to trouble like that you encountered with normals. I tried setting scale back to 1 and then "0.5" on rotate y axis of the transformgroup, and that seems to work. Or does it not become mirrored in the way you want it...

Yes how much spare time do you have Kjell :) Joystick is interesting. I haven't even researched this before because I do not own a joystick myself. Some concerns are how do you read joystick on windows, do you need to link with DirectInput or something? And please also check the documentation for SD...

I have to post a screen shot of this because I think it looks so cool. So a mirror checkbox for each axis maybe. Anyone else have a opinion on this?

But perhaps ViewportRatio or CameraRatio would be better then just Ratio. And I could insert a if Ratio == 0 then just use the full window / screen resolution.K "ViewportRatio" sounds good. Or is there another term for this? I want to be sure we use the correct terminology and minimize th...

That looks pretty manageable! I've only used glViewport with the full screen area before. 1. What is the name and type of the property that the user will set? 2. What is the default value of this property, and what will the user do if he wants the current behavior (use full resolution as render area).

So I guess you calculate the render area in application and then pass parameters down to the platform-function. Can you post some code-snippets showing how you've tried to solve it? The screen shot looks nice! Yes it would be cool if the zge-runtime only included the components needed for the curren...

Interesting ideas Kjell. I don't think I've really understood the screenratio setting, from your example it sounds like you want to make some kind of "letterboxed" mode when you shrink the render area? But if a user selects a 2:1 resolution from the dialog (or use a future NativeScreenMode...
