PLZ RISP!!i now with V2
i create an 3d model and it work(wall), but if i add an object(home) the home have the texture of wall plz helppppppppppppp!|!!!!

[mysticlore_staff]

to answer your question mauros

in x3d don't apply your textures with the game
let the 3d model know the paths

when you apply the texture with x3d you tell it to only map that texture
and if you have a house and maybe 2 textures (ie roof.jpg wall.jpg) that kinda stuff

otherwise i dont know

EDIT: sorry if it doesnt make sense

Good i just wish you wouldn't of changed the function names again...I just started learning v1 so i have to learn it all over again.

Unless there is a reason why you had to change the function names ... i apologize.

[Brandnew]

very well!! I think this dll is starting to be better than GMI, balancing coding "easiness" with good effects and speed.

Xception should reply to his feedbacks more often =). Oh well Busy Busy.

Hey, the engine is great and with a bit of study (thanks to some documentation and examples) , You could pretty much teach yourself how the system works. I've tested and it handles perfectly. My only problem is with Actors/Animation.

I've imported my .ms3d or .smd in the game and it shows very well with the bones in tacked. But the animation doesn't play at all. So i've decided to import it as .md2 or .md3 and the animation plays but the motion is VERY slow (not fps) and also the bones are no long generated.

Suggestion:
Perhaps you could add a funtion to Set Frame or Animation Speed of the current Actor and I could generate my own animation sequence from there.

Question:
I haven't tried yet, but before I commit valuable time. Is it possible to attach a Joint from the ODE engine to a Joint from your model? If so, that'll be awesome!

Besides the animation, it's a good .dll and I'd really like to work with it if I could speed up the animaions.

.ms3d animations cannot have multiple bones per vertex (so this is for turrets of tanks). SMD animations SHOULD load when you added the animation file with ActorAddObject(actor,'path/to/animation.smd')

So i've decided to import it as .md2 or .md3 and the animation plays but the motion is VERY slow (not fps) and also the bones are no long generated.

ActorSetInterval(actor, interval between frames in milliseconds)
You can change the speed of animations with that function. The interval basicly means the time between a frame and the next frame, so lower values give a faster animation.

Suggestion:
Perhaps you could add a funtion to Set Frame or Animation Speed of the current Actor and I could generate my own animation sequence from there.

You could just rotate the bones each frame to your liking. Needs lots of trial and error, but will be worth it in the end?

how to use MaterialSetDiffuseColor?
i write MaterialSetDIffuseColor('Panda',c_red,0)
but the material don't change....

[Obiki_San]

Hey thanks Bami, That solves all problems. I've actually come to edit my recent post about ActorSetInterval() i just found. For some reason i must have overlooked the script.

About the .smd, thanks for that information. I would assume if i use the .smd file as animated, I could still munipulate the bones?

Edit: Works like a charm.

Time to develope some test runs!

another problem how go to next room?
it don't work..

[Spector_sc]

Alright, forget the question I asked. I didnt even KNOW Anim8or could export to .3ds.

About the topic: From what me and my friend have tested, it has far more capability than GameMaker's 3D functions, and more importantly takes MUCH less power to do it. Cant wait to see what I can do with it.

PLZ RESPOND!!! sad.gif

In about 4 of the examples it shows how to draw text on the screen...
just mimic that... its pretty easy
second of all..... X3d doesnt use Draw event.. for the text it uses the Step event to refresh it...
third of all... Object destroy works to my knowledge... what u do is.... under a objects destroy event do
ObjectDestroy(actor); or ObjectDestroy(theobjectcreatedinthecreateevent);
Lol.... and it will destroy it

Anymore questions post em...
i only have a few for Xception..

one of them is..

"WHY DID U NOT ADD SOME GOOD ERROR DETECTION!! DANG U!! "
lol


anyways thanks xception

!)Text Resolt
2) i have use ObjectDestroy(cube) (cube=Freeformcreate ecc)
but the game crash...
and MaterialSetDIffuseColor don't work.. any help?

[zyvolution]

IT doesnt work.
On my pc
The previous x3d works very well.
My system specs:

Anyone get CameraSetDistanceToTarget(camera,distance) to work? I set my camera target to an object, and i can rotate the camera around it, but there is no affect when using CameraSetDistanceToTarget() method/script/function w/e...

Note: CameraGetDistanceToTarget() WORKS.

Another Note: using the set distance does not set the distance to the target. From what I have tested, it takes the distance it is already to the target, then multiplies the distance inputed by the set distance script! This really needs to be fixed! It should be setting a distance between the camera and the target, not compounding the distances between them...!

is it possible to make thing like this to change texture in xtreme3d2?(for terrain or floor)
i want to make something like crimsonland in 3d/.
.or is posible to make textures for xtreme3d2 from gm surface(without using
surface_save(global.surf,'texture.bmp') )
