Demostuff.c

syntax error(running A7.86.2)Line 2

edit:ah okay theres a compiled veriosn

just copy/paste the LightFrog folder into the demo folder, then you can compile the main.c

ah..yes, should have thought about that^^.

Anyway:
Looks really good.

I'm trying to get this to work on A8.
Fantastic work by the way!
I have found the 2 problems that seem to mess it up.

1. the sky cube gets messed up with "LF_SkyCube_init(_eSkyCube);" in the 'main' not sure what it's supposed to do though. if commented out the cube texture lines up

2. the models all dissapear with the "LF_LIGHT_create_DL" line in "DemoStuff1_create()" I commented that out and the line in the while loop that points back to it and seem to have an almost working beta.

Take a look at these screenshots running A8 trial version.
right and bottom ones show that it is working... mostly
top left shows that the sky will work with the lines commented, but it also show what I assume is a problem with the create_DL code since it shows odd black spheres as ligh areas. These do show up a lot more in a daytime skycube.

I tried doing the same with the release demo, but I think it was the same.
Any ideas?



p.s. anybody working on this make sure you have reduced all the textures to 128px width, it really helps with load times while you're woring on debugging and testing. just make sure you back up the high res files first

I have some problems with the demo from the resources There is no shadows at all! Everything is dark Only in first demo, when I play with zoom and turn around the examples, shadows appears, but they move with camera

@Nicholas: I still didnt adapt it to A8, does it work with A7 correctly?

@3run: hardware specifications?

Videocard: RADEON X1650 256 MB
RAM: 1024 MB
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual

From what I can tell it is pretty close to working with A8.
I ran the demo and it worked fine directly from the exe file not problem.
Nice and smooth too, but I am running a 2.4 quad phenom with ATI 5800 series that'll be able to run Final Fantasy XIV, so the gamestudio engine shouldn't overtax that.... hopefully. Still need to check the frame rate without it capped.
If this one won't be ready for A8 for a while, does anyone have a link to the older files that let you add shaders to WED blocks.
I'm gonna try to build my files and import them in the FBX then add textures with bumpmap shaders etc. I knew there was a way to add shaders to level geometry, but can't find it.

Nicholas, take a look at the WED tutorial, avaliable in GS download page, there explains how to apply shaders to blocks with normal mapping

theshooter, its widely known that pointclouds arent fast enough yet for realtime use in a practical game. And yes most pc games released now have at least some of the features active in them that are implemented here.
