ZGameEditor forum

Thanks Kjell. Made it a sticky.

Changes in 1.7.8 version: * New: Icon-property on Application-component. Load a ICO file to get an custom icon to your ZGE-games. Note that the icon only gets inserted in the exe when you choose "Build and compress". Feature suggested by jph. * New: Find Component dialog. Activate with Ctr...

The zgeproj-files have always been upwards compatible with newer releases of ZGameEditor until now. If a future version of ZGE break backwards compatibility then it will be clearly stated in the release notes. So you can safely upgrade as long as you read the release notes.

Yılmaz, I could not reproduce this error so I believe this is solved in the latest version because of saving floating point values with greater precision. Upgrade to fix the problem.

Thanks for reporting.

Good tip Kjell! A benefit of this method is that several items can be rendered using the same texture which is good for performance.

Plus, extensions to current MIDI support would be really appreciated ;) EG: i can't get a midi respecting note duration :P and no drums, what a pity! ;) Note duration should work. If you have a midi-file that doesn't import with durations correctly please post here or PM me, thanks. EDIT: please po...

Thanks for helping, Kjell.

I don't have Max either. I tried importing the 3ds into another program and the texture looked weird there too. Nikkk, can you provide a screen shot of how the model appears in Max?

The sin-wave should have been into the synth from the beginning but I couldn't find a good and compact example code for generating a sine-wave. Using standard fpu sin-function is too slow so you need a look-up table and interpolate. I could investigate this again now. But I also tried once to import...

I make notes of all your suggestions, thanks! jph about multi-clipboard: everything you copy to clipboard in ZDesigner is standard text, which means you can copy a component including subcomponents and paste it into a texteditor temporarily, make changes in the xml-text, and then paste it back into ...

The audio surprised me a few times with introducing new little sounds after when I thought it was repeating. Nice procedural skills there jph :) The graphics effect looks like the that lovely materialize player effect in your Gyro-Phyter game. Maybe you could play a bit with colors for variation and...

Yes there are a few components that are not valid to use in OnRender, also all the Render-components should only be used in OnRender. However the ZDesigner tool still lets you insert components where they do not make sense and that should be fixed. At the very least you should get a error message th...

The reason that there is no bug report section on this forum is because there are so few bugs ;) . Only kidding! I'm adding more forum section as they are needed, so a bug-report will probably be created soon if more appears. I've never seen this problem before. It is probably related to your graphi...

Yes I agree proper parent transformations should work. The only reason it doesn't at the moment is because I could not find a simple way to implement it, but I'll take another look. Sometimes a solution just appears by itself after taking a long break from the problem.

Ok, I set the decimal separator to "." when application starts and that is probably not enough. I will change this in next release. Thanks for reporting!

Here is an good opportunity for anyone wanting to show off their latest ZGE-game
