PLUGIN + EDITOR: CharacterD3D v0.3 (31 Oct 2010)

[Besh]

Sorry for that... You are right, it isn't clear at all...

This version needs:
- an empty room (eg. room #1) to init the plugin (where empty means without any CD3D functions) (anyway you can ask for shadows or display a logo or... )
- chage room (eg. room2)
- write CD3D code in this second room
- change room ... and so on

I don't remember exactly why I choose this orrible solution but I'll try to find a better one in next release.

My GOD thank you? I was wondering what was up! I thought I was going crazy. I only changed the 3d demo room from room 2, to room 3 and it stopped working.
So does creating a room free of D3D code reset the plugin? I was wondering how to code separate 3d areas as there's no 'remove object' code as far as I can see.
Also say one wanted to create separate distinct maps,  Would this basically be a process of toggling the 'visible' attribute and loading a new walkarea file?

(READ UR UPDATE ON MAIN PLUGIN *EDIT*)
So it supports two rooms? Okay then all the room 'transitioning' will have to be handled via object visible switches. Thanks for clarifying.

Hi there Besh,

After choosing to see the realtime shadows I get the following window:



This is under Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

I have followed the points under CD3D_Doc.htm and also copied Irrlicht.dll from the compiled folder into the demo folder.

Thanks ;-)

Hi Marodex
if yuo choose to run the game from within the AGS editor you also need to copy the media folder to cd3d_demo folder (media folder is in cd3d_demo/compiled folder)

Thanks a million... you seriously need to add a thanks button to the forum for things like this.
This will save so much headache you cannot believe it.

Bugs/Limitations

These bugs/limitations are not documented anywhere I can find, so far:

You can't use frames stored above 32, at least in the MS3D format, if you try to use anything past 33 the character no longer animates and instead 'glides'.
//The 'glide' glitch, it did it to me again when I had reduced the animation to a 10 frame cycle, so there's something fishy there, but I don't know what yet.

Only true resolutions are supported. E.G. making the game 320x240 and blowing it up to 640x480 creates a major mouse coordinate error amongst other things.
Also it seems whatever the window size is that is what it renders at. E.G. If I set it at 320x240 and run it in x2 antialias it still draws it at 640x480.

//Still working with the plugin, we'll see if anything else shows up.

Thank you very much, I appreciate your help. I'll work at "bugs/limitation" on the next release.

  I just downloaded the old version this week. It'll be nice to have an improved interface. As I really want to make a fully 3d game in AGS.
I for one appreciate that this mod is still being worked on/updated.

Please keep up the work, and thanks.

Hello!

Thanks for all the hard work you've put into this plugin. I thought I ought to alert you to something:

I just downloaded the files, but I can't seem to decompress either of them. 7-zip keeps throwing a "data error", telling me that the files are corrupt. I am using windows 7 64-bit.

doesn't seem like anyone had this problem last week. Anyone else having this issue?

[Besh]

thanks guys!

celticafro I'm sorry for that... I just download and extract the 7z files from several computers (xp, 7 and ubuntu - all 32bit) without any problem. I don't have any 64bit os to check with.
I'm using PeaZip (it's free).
If you want, I'll send you an e-mail with zip or rar files so you can check out. Let me know.

For what it's worth, the current demo works at about 30-50 frames per second, on an old Nvidia graphics card (7300GT), under WINE, with shadows enabled.
