Hi nikkk, The UV map in your new 3ds file seems to be identical to the old one. http://img129.imageshack.us/img129/8042/uvba3.jpg As you can see the majority of faces are overlapping each other, which can't be right. Could you please post a screenshot of the UV Map in 3DMax ( Edit UVW )? *By the way...

Hi, I've imported your 3ds file into ZGE and there seems to be a UV problem. http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/7740/uvim2.jpg Make sure to collapse your stack before exporting so that any Rendermap Generator data is baked into your mesh. *I'm no 3DMax user so I cannot inspect your .max file. Good l...

Font:Proportional ( boolean )
- Support for Fonts using proportional letter spacing.

Font:Ratio ( float )
- Width VS Height Rendering Ratio.

RenderText:CharASCII
- Useful for applying individual expressions to specific characters.

Hi guys, jph: It's probably more useful to add a Expression field to the Animator Component instead, so users could define the exact curve calculation one wishes to use themselves. nikkk: CollisionStyle:Mesh should be top priority on the to-be-implemented list indeed :wink: Doom however is already v...

Hej guys, Well, it's not so much of a problem with single instances ( since you can calculate the values yourself using the parents as reference ), but for multi-model characters / animated groups of objects that you want to clone, there is no easy workaround ( that I can think of ). I hope the brea...

SpawnModel:Inherit
- Spawned children inherit parents' translations ( position, rotation, scale ) each frame. See example image

SpawnModel:UseSpawnerPosition
- On True use SpawnModel:Position as offset value to the parents' position.

ZExpression
- Parent.Property support

Hi Yilmaz, That's a good question actually, and as far as I know currently not documented. The general order is OnLoaded / OnStart / OnSpawn ( once ) > OnUpdate > OnCollision > OnRender. But there are some other aspects that are useful paying attention to. - Velocity offsets of models occur when OnU...

Hi Yilmaz, Due to restrictions in the scripting language you cannot currently access properties of clones by a index / string / pointer directly. My suggestion would be to set up a number of Variables or Models to which you pass variables from the objects themselves ( split them up in collision grou...

Hej Ville, Indeed, a UseModelSpace / UseScreenSpace switch to set the Space in which the Sprite is rendered. Which of those two, depends on what you want to consider to be the default / false ( currently Model for Sprites, Screen for Text ). Should be useful for GUI elements and such. The ASCII requ...

Hej JPH,

Yea I've noticed this as well. The solution I've been going with is using a ZExpression to set those variables. Values don't get rounded in scripts obviously.

Good luck ~

Hej Ville,

That's correct. The BitmapSize constant should be 256 when using a 256x256 Bitmap, and AAWidth represents the width in Pixels of the soft-edge / gradient.

:idea: A BitmapExpression generated Anti-Aliased Circle ( for square Bitmaps ). // Default Pixel values this.Pixel.R = 1; this.Pixel.G = 1; this.Pixel.B = 1; this.Pixel.A = 0; // Calculate the radius of the current Pixel from the center Radius = sqrt(pow(0.5-X-0.5/BitmapSize,2)+pow(0.5-Y-0.5/BitmapS...

Hej Ville, Indeed, in order to set / get data from the Bitmap I used a script similar to your example that triggers a entire loop through the Bitmap. Inefficient yes, but in case it would have worked, it would have been a good "Ghetto" solution for now. And it does work when you're only reading data...
