MODULE & PLUGIN: Ags 3d v1.20

[Rui 'Trovatore' Pires]

I do know about getting the camera's XYZ, heading, pitch and bank. But if there is a Prim version it's not documented.

: BTW, you'll still share your "record camera movement" thingy with us, won't you? :

Oops, quite right.

But of course! Let's just say it's not top of my priority list.

I'm astounded by the latest developments in AGS 3D!

Are there any plans for more complex texture mapping?

[Kweepa]

Why yes, here's v117:
- fully textured models, no vertex or face limit
- loads png, jpg, bmp, pcx, tga from an optionally specified directory
- fixed primitive overflow bug (no longer crashes if you try to exceed 256 prims in a room)

Has anyone got a demo game or something so I could just see for myself what ths is like, the screenshots only show it so much.

[Elliott Hird]

Look a few posts back.

HOLY POTATOES BATMAN!!!!!! :O:O:O

I'm speechless.....

How do you create the rooms for this? I have to download this and have a play.

[Kweepa]

I presume you have already downloaded it...
Load up the example game and look at the room scripts.
There's some basic documentation (in RTF format) in the zip, but the walkthrough part doesn't cover some of the later additions (physics, models).

Cheers,
Steve

Yea, just had a look. That looks rather... complex. Having to draw absolutley everything using code, but the effect is very impressive. I can only hope to look forward to something being completed using this. I may attempt to make a room or something this month.

[Redwall]

The next OROW should be with this.

It's not all code - don't forget the in-game prim editor. I made a couple rooms without touching the code.

[Elliott Hird]

Yeah, then use the save scene feature and copy the code in .

I've check the exaple, and on my spec;

cel 433mhz
192MBram
riva tnt 16MB
win98se

I'e had between 17-25 fps

Just a question, is the module free-lanced, like AGS.  Ya' know, no boundries or copyright fines?

[Kweepa]

Sure. It's released under the LGPL, which you can find at www.gnu.org/copyleft/lesser.html.
You can do whatever you want with it, but I'd appreciate a credit.
Of course, Novodex probably has a rather stricter license. You should check that.

[kadok]

is this module cross-platform like AGS or is only for a windows

and what you can do in it, only FPS games or also somethink else like top-down view games???

[Gilbert]

Well the pluginless version was cross platform (V1.13 or earlier), since current version uses plugin I think it works only in window$ (unless of course, Steve compiles the plugins for MAC, I think the Linux engine does not support plugins at the moment).

[Kweepa]

I can't make a Novodex (physics) enhanced version for mac, but everything else should be possible.
The plugin source code will be available in case drevil decides to support Linux plugins.

[Afflict]

I just want to know is it possible to create a grim fandango kind of game?

[Haddas]

if you somehow manage to lock the view and have a 3D model, I don't see why not. Might be hard, might be easy. ignore me. I have no idea what I'm talking about, but since we've already gotten this far. Also, any updates?
