ZGameEditor forum

Oh yeah, now I remember wasting hours with mscdex.exe and command-line just to get the CD-ROM working so I could reinstall Windows 95

I added a context menu option to open the current project in ZGameEditor. You can also press Ctrl+E to do the same. This is really handy — for example, you can add new elements to your project in ZGameEditor, like a new 3DS model. Then, just save your project and close ZGameEditor. When you return t...

Hello. I'm back with a little request for the next feature of ZgeSublime :wink: Could you add "/o" to open a zgeproj file directly from command line, the same as you did for building with /b ? I can't compile the ZDesiner... Edit: My bad, I just realized how to open a zgeproj from command ...

So it is now very optimized. I like that
By the way, here are the Android 32 and 64-bit libraries:

Well done! I’ve been playing my game for quite a while, with all kinds of semi-transparent lasers and explosions, and in many different situations. Not a single crash. giphy.gif I can’t express how happy and relieved I am. That was one hell of a bug hunt... Tomorrow I’ll release the previous version...

I guess the only way around that is to render something small using each shader during application initialisation. All right, I'll add that to my arcade style warming up screen :wink: But for your specific situation you might want to use a glUniform call instead Thanks, that’s perfect. I managed to...

ZExpressions.pas(2344,23) Error: identifier idents no member "Proc" I believe line 2344 should be: PDummyFunc(Self. Entry. Proc)^(1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1); //Should never execute Now it compiles and runs fine. I’m running the thousand-cubes test: no crash. This seems very promising...

I’m totally into shaders now, so I have a few more questions :lol: 1. How can I obtain a unique number per model in a shader? I tried vec3 modelSeed = position.xyz; but it’s not enough. Can I pass a random number from the currently rendered model to its shader? 2. I’ve noticed sometimes shaders take...

Great find, Ville. I’ve run this several times over a long period on three different devices: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> <ZApplication Name="App" Caption="Android Bug Finder 6" ScreenMode="0" FileVersion="2" AndroidPackage...

The glEnable cubes are still randomly crashing even with threads disabled like that:

In TZApplication.Init insert this line
ZClasses.Tasks.Enabled := False;

Oh, all right.
Yeah, that might not be coming from the GL functions, but my example does have the merit of crashing really quickly on 64-bit
I’m going to recompile the ZGE Android library with threading completely disabled and see if my glEnable cubes still crash.

So I tried your last test several times, and for quite a while. It’s not crashing at all. Then I tried enabling and disabling GL_BLEND again, just to be sure. It randomly crashes at some point, every time. Weird, but I think we’re onto something :wink: Edit: I tried setting my transparent materials ...

Sorry, your colored background isn't crashing on Android 64. I tested it for a while. I even added the basic cubes from my first example over it to force compute things... I was thinking, do I really need to use glEnable(GL_BLEND); glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA); to set 3D objects...

After writing down what I was doing in my game each time it crashed, I finally made a breakthrough !!! This is running fine: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> <ZApplication Name="App" Caption="Android Bug Finder 1" ScreenMode="0" FileVersi...
