ZGameEditor forum

Hi Tomi, When I moved a 2d bitmap (so, I changed the Position.X and Y of this model) in my first test program with the default settings, the left and right edge of the screen can be found at -5 and 5 values, while top and bottom are at -3 and 3. By default ZGameEditor uses a camera with a perspectiv...

Hi Ats,

Yea .. this can be a bit confusing as the terminology isn't consistent among platforms / engines

Hi guys, Here's a quick loop + key code scanning to type with the keyboard @Ats: You can do this exact thing a little bit easier actually, like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> <ZApplication Name="App" Caption="ZGameEditor application" FileVe...

Hi Ats, I'm just wondering: I'm attaching the Sample to Sound_SFXR before playing them. So far, there haven't been any issues playing multiple sounds simultaneously. So, should I continue using a single Sound object for all Samples, or should I consider creating multiple Sound objects, one for each ...

Hi Ats, Apart FilterCutoff and FilterQ, are there other ZGE filters that can be applied in real time to those generated sounds? Like BaseNoteNr or Osc1Waveform? Are those filters instantaneous when playing the sound? I'm a noob when it comes to synth :lol: If your Sound component uses a Sample it ov...

If the "prototype" he's referring to is this .. then i guess so? And the "sound effect wizard" was Ville's idea.

Hi Ats, Nope, this is still crashing. But buffer.SizeDim1 = S + 4; works fine :lol: Ah .. in that case it's probably a rounding-error caused by the SampleExpression. Try the following: - Add a MySampleIndex ( type = int ) variable - Change the SampleExpression to "this.Sample = buffer[MySampleI...

Hi Ats,

The only "crashes" / errors i'm seeing on my end are "array access out of range" errors. You need to make sure your buffer array is large enough to fit the sound you're generating. But perhaps you're getting different errors?

Hi Ats, Weirdly enough, KeyPress:KeyPress isn't an issue. You can't use KeyPress as variable type in the scripting language .. while you can use File / Sample / Sound. But now I'm wondering if sfxr could be wrapped to work as an external library (dll and so), just like ZGEBullet, so that we could sy...

Hi guys,

It might be easier to see how TSynEdit-2 has implemented triple-click and only add that .. instead of swapping to the entire fork.

Hi Ats, Is it possible to add a triple-click to select an entire paragraph? The regular TSynEdit control doesn't support this ( which is what ZGameEditor uses ) .. but apparently it was added to TSynEdit-2 in 2020.

Hi Ats, It doesn't glow outside the mesh. Is that a restriction due to me not using a texture, or is there something else that I don't understand in the logic? It doesn't have anything to do with whether you're using vertex-colors or a texture or not. A fragment shader will only process the pixels t...

Hi Ats, I always wondered why the planets with rings had severe z-order problems (but not on NVIDIA video cards). It's not really NVIDIA related / exclusive. When ZGE ( or a standalone made with ZGE ) boots it requests a pixel format for the OpenGL context from the OS. This is only a request though,...

Hi Ats, I'm not sure if a 16-bit buffer is outdated, but if it dates back to 2001, there probably aren't many devices still working to use it. Perhaps an option to choose between 16 and 24 would be helpful? Same as legacy and ES2/GL3. I don't know. It's outdated yes. The RIVA TNT from 1998 already s...

... @Kjell do you have an idea? Maybe the preview is using a depth buffer that is configured differently. I had no idea ZGE was (still) requesting a 16-bit depth buffer :shock: Anyway, the editor gets a 24-bit depth buffer for some reason, while standalones do get a 16-bit depth buffer ( on some sys...
