Thank you guys, I´ll try to write some code based on this approaches tomorrow, now I´m fighting with a BSP-tree like map generator,
whenever I get it to work as intended, I´ll need the seed stuff for it...

Thank you very much !!!

Hi everyone, this time I´m trying to get a string from InputRequester() into RandomSeed(), but I can´t figure out how to convert complete ASCII string to ASCII values and feed that into RandomSeed()

Does anybody know a slick way of performing this task?

I guess also that the input requester should ...

Thank you Luis, I guess your approach is more elegant for my code now, but when I get to it (i.e. Map chunk loader) I´ll have a better understanding of what I need to achieve.

Thank you guys !!!

I´m sorry, as an IT worker, I always complain about customers that don´t read their manuals...

Thanks !!! I´ll start fiddling with it as soon as I get up tomorrow, having a broken arm has really helped my homebrew project!!!

Thanks again Samuel !!!

I think that TextureAdditive is not working properly, It would be a nice thing to have if you work with ultra mega large objects...

As I´ve defined the extents. limitations, style and cameras to use in my project, I only need some basic shadows...

Or better yet, well placed torches!!

Better get ...

Hi everybody! While I´m trying to figure out how to make a small 3d editor, I´ve setup a scene like a Cornell Box

All shadow modes where working good, Additive, Modulative and TextureAdditive, then I added a sphere and unfortunately
TextureAdditive disappeared !!!

I don´t know what else to do ...

Thanks IdeasVacuum, ideally what I´m trying to do is to save a "voxel" x, y, z, red, green, blue, alpha, reflection, refraction, hardness, glow.

I´ve checked yesterday Ken Silverman´s VoxLap engine, and I haven´t discovered yet how he saves the world, or even the size of the chunks he loads... Also ...

I just thought It would be a good idea to see how voxel engines store their data.

Ken Silverman wrote an awesome voxel engine back in the 90s, released the source in 2000

I´ll check out the code to see if I can grasp some of it´s complexity...

Crazy idea, but can I store "game world information ...

Hello people, I just have another silly question, I need to store data, and be able to load and modify it later...
think as if I needed to store x,y,z,color,refraction,hardness,materialtype
My biggest problem is that not all values store data the same way...

x,y,z: Store world coordinates, integers ...

Sorry, just found the solution !!! I´ll add it here:


If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, GetSystemMetrics_(#SM_CXSCREEN), GetSystemMetrics_(#SM_CYSCREEN), "Borderless Screen", #PB_Window_BorderLess | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)

InitSprite()

OpenWindowedScreen(WindowID(0), 0, 0, GetSystemMetrics_(#SM ...

Hello everyone! After 3 days of reading, searching and experimenting I´ve decided to give up and ask...

I use a fragment of code made by FSW updated by blbltheworm, that makes a borderless window fullscreen, but when I Alt+Tab my window goes to background, I want it to minimize whenever Alt+Tab is ...
