ZGameEditor forum

Hi jph_wacheski, While I have to vote against the 2D varieties of your suggestions as ZGE does not have a 2D system in place at all, I do agree that not being able to get the distance between 2 objects easily ( or anything regarding instances for that matter ) is quite a shortcoming. Off-topic: The ...

Hej Ville,

I sure will!

Hej Ville,

Tested, working & ecstatic

Great stuff~

Hej, Since interaction between instances requires a significant scripting overhaul as mentioned several times before, perhaps adding a non-editable unique ID property ( spawned Model pointer ) to the SpawnModel component could be something to build on for now? This might be a easy-to-implement ( tho...

Reminds me of the boss stages in Space Invaders Extreme.

Hej Ville,

Great release, all changes/improvements/bug-fixes checked and working!

Hej Ville, I've done a close inspection on various .3ds exports and it's not all that complicated actually. The first question is wether or not to take the Pivot vector ( B013 ) in concideration or not. This is the value that is causing the 0.5 offset abnormalities ( the default pivot Y value when c...

Voila,

Box.Pivot: 0,0,-3
Box.CoG: 0,0,0

Sphere.Pivot: -4,-2,0
Sphere.CoG: -4,0,0

Cylinder.Pivot: -2,0,0
Cylinder.CoG: 3,0,0

Good Luck,
Kjell

Hej VilleK, Well, first of all I would change the import behavior slightly, in that by default it creates a model component for each separate object in the .3ds file. So for the box example ( the one with the cyan colored text ) a model component would be created with a position of 5,0,0, and the co...

Hej VilleK, Taken from the Wikipedia entry: Originally created by Sony Computer Entertainment as the official format for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable development, it has since become the property of the Khronos Group, a member-funded industry consortium, which now shares the copyright with...

Hej, Some material / texture related requests. Import 3DS-file - UV data support ( some kind of UV data does seem to get imported, but haven't been able to get it to work properly ). - Automatically generate material / bitmap components when importing 3d data containing materials & texture refer...

Hi, Even though I'm aware that animations exported in .3ds files are currently unsupported, it probably won't do much harm shedding some light onto it already. While diving through the 3ds files correspondent to the "Auto center model" topic with the "Opener" tool, I noticed that...

Hi VilleK, Sorry for the confusion, this difference is caused by resetting the XForm before exporting. Also I was incorrect about the pivot being animatable ... and while it seems like you can do this, it actually just offsets the Mesh Matrix and stores the movement in a position/rotation keyframe o...

Did you know ZGE is actually a acronym for "Zero Gravity Effect"? Makes up for a great denotation of your lightweight / easy-to-get-into editor

Hej VilleK,

Here you go~
