ZGameEditor forum

Hi Ville, The calculations where actually done in Renderer.pas, but I probably need to move them to ZApplication.pas in order to get everything to frmEditor.pas as well ( this is where I'm having most difficulties ). Anyway, here's the Init snippet. procedure InitRenderer(Width,Height : integer; Rat...

Next up is Camera / Viewport Aspect Ratio.

Hej Ville, The Ratio I'm referring to is the Camera Aspect Ratio yes, not the Screen / Window Ratio. And indeed this means you'll end up with a letterbox when your Screen / Window resolution is higher then the desired ratio, or a pillarbox when it's wider. I've been trying to push the necessary vari...

Hi jph, If, and only if I manage to get Ratio implemented properly ( it's a little trickier then I expected ), you'll be able to set this value using a ZExpression directly ( as it is a float / single ). So when your application is running in a 640x480 resolution with a ratio of 2:1 ( 0.5 ), the ren...

Hi guys,

I'll try to implement a "Use Native Resolution" checkbox for the next release

Hi jph,

These kinds of things are always great fun* to create At what venue is your friend VJ-ing?

*So much fun that I couldn't resist

Hi Francesco,

Well, personally I'd categorize what you're doing under collisions. In fact, your approach ain't all that different from calculating collision data for NURBS / Surfaces. By the way, in case you're aiming to implement a full physics system, take a look at Newton

Hi Francesco, Going with math-based collision behaviors is actually allot faster in most cases then working with polygons. And as long as your accompanying procedurally generated meshes have sufficient detail ( and thus not differing much from the collision "model" ), you'll end up with a ...

Ville: Ah you're right, then it's just purely cosmetic .. so never mind
Everybody: Custom Resolution will be available in the next release!

Hmm,

The current zptInteger field is slightly iffy too though, as you can just input float's / decimals. I assume the value does get converted / cast to a integer?

Hej Ville, I was planning to use a boolean checkbox to determine whether or not you want to overwrite the ScreenMode property .. but testing if the values are set to zero would do the trick too. By the way, I'm trying to add a zptInteger2i type ( or something based on TZPointi ), no luck so far .. b...

Hi guys,

My next source code project is to implement custom Resolution Width & Height. More when it hits ( login to download attached examples )

Ciao Francesco,

I can't actually. This was my first real encounter with Pascal / Delphi .. but the source code is very well organized, so it's just a matter of recognizing the patterns

K

My first Delphi contribution to ZGE is a FOV property ( login to view the screenshots ). Hopefully Ville will include it in the next release

Hej Francesco,

You're right, I did try to use atan2 at first, but got some strange deviation initially .. must have been doning something wrong Working just fine now.

And turschija, acos and asin both got implemented in the recent 1.8.0 release
