PureBasic Forums - English

Thanks Shadoko, I'll take a closer look.

I think now that stencil shadows became super slow with the newer Ogre engines, this is the perfect time to discover what other/new shadowing system Ogre has that is just waiting for us to take in to PureBasic.

Thank you Fred!

Talking about the 3D side of things...

Why not add other shadowing modes to the current ones? I'm pretty sure the texture shadow got some updates. It would be super awesome.

I can access everything but the PureBasic forum. I'm doing banking, discord, eBay, Amazon, YouTube etc. on the same machine without any problem. But can't access the PureBasic forum.

Interesting. Thanks for the quick reply Fred.

I'm experiencing a very similar slowdown that happened in PureBasic v5.60 and later was fixed for 5.70. Please run the "Tank" example and bump up the number of boxes. PureBasic v6.12 runs perfect, but v6.20 and now 6.21 beta4 are both several times slower.

Yeah...it happened a few times that the docs didn't follow every change. That's why it would be great if either Fred or Prof Shadoko could confirm that it's still 1.8.2 ?

Thanks.

What is the current version/versions of Ogre3D used with the current version of PureBasic?

Thanks.

Hey PureBasic team, Just wondering if there is any plan with PB Ogre3D? The last comment from Pf Shadoko is from 2022 July...and there are quite a few issues with the engine as it is in v6. Stability is most important. Can't do much with anything that is good on paper but not working correctly. And ...

You set your shadow distance to 100 so no shadow for objects that are further away from the camera. Try to increase this number first. There is also a WorldShadows.pb example in the Examples\3D folder. That is a working code so it's worth studying.

You really should post a code that produces "the bug" you're experiencing. Here using PBv6 x86 DrawText() is working with a scene with terrain using DirectX9. Make sure you set SpriteOutput() and NOT ScreenOutput() for StartDrawing(), also make sure you display the sprite after RenderWorld() but ...

What Caronte3D says is that use MoveEntity with mode "absolute" and value "local" like this:

MoveEntity(1,0,0,z,#PB_Absolute|#PB_Local).

Check the help file it's all there at MoveEntity.

Terrain (and maybe other stuff) is not yet fully working with OpenGL. Because of this Ogre's directx9 renderer is still available. Check Fred's reply.

If the PureBasic team is in a clean up phase you guys might consider to ditch the water system since the PB implementation of Hydrax is pretty useless in it's current form and it's not supported by it's creator anyway. Not sure if it adds any real value.

Terrain is not rendered in the terrain examples. Also AttachEntityObject3.pb and CheckObjectVisibility2.pb examples don't show render to texture on billboard.
