Hi Ats, The drawing distance is 500. And Things appears at a distance of 600 to avoid suddenly poping out of the fog. In the 256-512 range the smallest interval that can be expressed using a half-float is 0.25. Whether that's a problem or not depends entirely on your situation. Do keep in mind that ...

Hi Ats, ChatGPT is pretty impressive, but it's certainly not perfect ( yet ). Avoid using uniform arrays if possible. Instead of using a uniform matrix for the light position, light color ambient, and fog color, you could use individual uniform variables for each of these values. This would reduce t...

Hmm, Wouldn't it be useful to also make the register link visible again ( next to login in the top-right corner ) and then put this information on the register page instead of the current "Creating a new account is currently not possible" message? As soon as this topic won't be the most re...

Hi Ats,

Hmm .. 250% seems a bit excessive, but i'm glad i could be of help

Hi jinxtengu, what does "0xD" denote? When you press Enter ( for a newline ) in Notepad ( on Windows ) it inserts the following two bytes: 0x0D = 13 = CR = Carriage Return 0x0A = 10 = LF = Line Feed https://i.imgur.com/UeuoAcL.png So basically the code is looking for two consecutive newlin...

Hi jinxtengu, The animated text effect itself is super easy, but depending on what "features" are needed for the cut-scenes that drive the text animation your implementation might vary quite a bit. Anyway, below is a simple example ( press spacebar to continue ). <?xml version="1.0&qu...

Hi guys, I think you can get better range of the zbuffer by adjusting ClipNear and ClipFar so that you reduce the difference between them. Correct, this can alleviate z-fighting problems because you're basically giving the same amount of pixel-depth to a smaller depth-region. However, the glichting ...

Hi Ats, So I searched a bit on the internet and I found something similar here: https://community.khronos.org/t/flickering-in-android/104038 They are talking about cleaning the depth buffer: GLES20.glClearColor(0, 0, 0, 1); GLES20.glEnable(GLES20.GL_DEPTH_TEST); GLES20.glClearDepthf(1.0f); ... GLES2...

Hi Ats, The shift only happens then the waypoint will be destroyed, so once every 1 or 2 seconds That's something you generally want to avoid .. processor intensive stuff that only happens every once in a while and can't be spread over multiple frames. In video games you want to keep your processor ...

Hi Ats, What do I do wrong? By trying to shift the point vectors back-to-front, you end up copying the last point of your array into all indices. Your inner loop should go front-to-back instead. By the way, i'd recommend trying to avoid shifting around elements in your arrays unless absolutely neces...

Hi zakkwylde, In the keypress assignments, only 2 keys were shown. But the commands to rotate along the axes are the 4 cursor arrows. Could you point me to where the commands are programmed? The ZExpression in the AxisRepeat component sets the CharCode property of the AxisPositive and AxisNegative c...

Hi Ats, I don't know how to calculate the ration translate / time to make the movement fluid That value ( and how you calculate it ) is dependent on what you do in your MeshExpression calculation. But now that I think of it, maybe it would be better to have several height maps that scrolls and less ...

Hi Ats, For starters, is 00100000 = 0x20 or 0x32??? A binary value of 00100000 is 20 in hexadecimal and 32 in decimal, so 0x20 is correct. If you're having trouble with hexadecimal and binary i'd recommend keeping a calculator that has a programmer mode handy ( like the default one in Windows ). htt...

Hmm, But it turned out that I still have to use it, otherwise colliding bodies would just get out of the ground if the object are planted into it. Can't you adjust the colliders so you don't have objects that sit on / in the ground don't penetrate the floor collider? That would save you the physics ...

Hi Ats, Big boy engines such as Unity and Unreal gets weird when the objects are too far from the center of the world: physics, animations, lights... So I was wondering if this could be an issue in ZGE? Same thing in ZGE ( since it also uses 32-bit floating point values for most things ). And if it ...
