InitEngine3D - ExitEngine3D

Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

InitEngine3D - ExitEngine3D

Post by THCM »

Hi Fred,

I'm still missing an option to reset or exit the 3D-Engine. Just for example you have a game with a normal starting-screen with options, movies etc. and the player starts the game and exits to the options menu (non-3D).

Do I have to Free all Entites etc? Can I reset the whole 3D-Database to avoid fragmentation? Do I have to keep all Entities hidden?

Maybe you could "freeze" the game-state (not updating it), and display your menu on a screen-size, non-transparent billboard (or something similar) in fornt of the camera.. it would make it semm 2D...
Just a suggestion tho'.. haven't tried it...
