Thanks! Didn't know to use \ as a escape character which caused internal list to always crash upon loading a file x)
probably just me being dumb. Thanks again!

Any chance of an example showing how one can load a list from a file? I'm a bit puzzled and can't seem to find any documentation :(

When sending a file, the MMF2 application will sometimes freeze for around 5-20 seconds.

When receiving a file, the MMF2 application will sometimes freeze for about the same duration or even...

The MMF2 server doesn't receive messages properly; it returns strings as empty for no reason

The issue isn't occurring here either! Thanks a lot, Retriever! :D

Thanks for the help, much appreciated :D

Also a 'last added event index' would be nice, as adding event values is pretty much impossible at this point with multiple events at once (either that, or CurrentEvent is broken)

Yeah let me just add that this is an amazing extension!
I have two request.

1) could you add "On Position Changed" to the events? That'd be awesome.

2) Would it be possible to add an automatic...

I'd rather not use MMF's inbuild audio info features as they're inaccurate and unreliable :(

Needs a way to get the audio length and current position

otherwise good job

CurrentTimeMS has a huge bug where it doesn't show the correct value. It's completely unaffected by frequency and is just a huge mess. I don't get how this has slipped everyone's sight.

...

I've been using external files up until this project so I had no idea really.

Someone should definitely get a hold of RII!

1) That... wouldn't work. My scripts would still be stuck, irretrievably, inside the original xLua object.

2) Yeah I have the newest version already D:

3) The bug persists in all of my 10...

Issue:
The embedded code's window does not appear, disabling me from reaching my own code. Code still runs properly, though.

How it happened:...

Why not include the DLLs in the runtime, then?

Hi. Why won't pixelshades using PS 3.0 show?

My graphics card supports 3.0 so I can't seem to see any reason why it wouldn't work.

Hi. Is there any reason as to why the list object ignores empty lines upon reading? It makes writing / updating files difficult.

Thanks
Mecha

When changing the min/max values multiple times. Any chance of a fix?

Slightly surprised that this hasn't been brought up yet.

This is the best thing since HWA hands down

I have a GeForce 9800 GTX 2+

The automatic backup feature only does it every time you save. ASD means a feature that saves automatically every x minutes. Most modern applications have this feature.
I'd love to see it in MMF2...

it's the best extension

because it fixes flaws in MMF2

Looki did it for me

hardly

flags are booleans. Alterable values are integers / floats. There should be a way to set a flag to a specific value (either 0 or 1 / true or false).

May I ask when we get a "set flag value" action? It's long overdue and incredibly needed

An example would be much appreciated, I am incredibly new to OpenGL :P

Hi.

I'm trying to figure out when the player clicks on a 3d sprite. Which method would be the easiest to perform this check?

Thanks!

There's always the active system box

but yeah I agree, MMF could do with some tiling features

Not sure if this has been reported yet but

calling Error$( "Lacewing" ) when there is no error results in a crash.
DenyStatus$ does not match with the Pylacewing server (version mismatch?)

in the newest HWA version I've noticed some choppiness (visually what appears to be a decrease in FPS) but in the debugger it is at a stable 60. I can also run my application at 500 fps with ease, so...

Hi. Is the Sprite Sheet extension ever getting a final release?

I heard that the Animated Picture object is meant to replace it, but it doesn't support paste to backdrop which renders it useless...

it's awfully slow and doesn't work in HWA, though

I'd recommend searching through the file archives: there's some great examples

Any notable extensions in use?

so basically its wireframe with backface culling?

yes I got them! Thanks mate, works like a charm :D

gonna save it for future use!

those are some seriously weird IDs o_O

1009 is 'Quit', 1010 is 'New' and 2001 is 'Hi' :O

sounds great :D

adding to the menu requires submenu IDs and a lot of other stuff I have no idea about D:

beside it would break all my "has menu option been selected?" events

I found out you can use MainWindowHandle( "WinMessPro" ) for the app itself, but I have no idea how to find the specific item IDs :(

I tried a bit of trial and error but with no luck

how do I find out the item ID? :)

Is it possible to modify the text of certain application menu options?

Lovely update!

Doing the same thing actually. But remember to make them invisible when not needed because they hog memory when out-of-screen and visible for some reason (had to experience the hard way with +300...

Bumping because I'm experiencing the same issue sadly.

possible to add a "load image into slice" feature?

I seem to still get blank even though I am copying everything you do XD

I guess my app is just haunted... I'll figure it out though :P thanks!

didn't move the mfa from temp

i'll look into it later today, cheers for the example

Event 11: Attempt to call nil value

/* Set viewport so it matches the size of our texture*/
glViewport(0,0,1024,1024);
/* Target texture */
glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, tex);
/* Copy screen to a 1024x1024 texture */...

this might be unrelated to luaGL but im a little confused as how to use CopyTexImage2D.

I tried binding a new texture first then using CopyTexImage2D, but that only resulted in a blank texture....

ah I see

doesn't work well with heavily translucent images such as smoke clouds (but it does work well on things with little transparency)

illustration

Oh I see.

I did it and it's working great, except when textures with alpha are scaled, they get a weird outline
http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/7725/allpurposeimage.png
any ideas?

slightly more advanced than I was hoping. What about 3d objects?

Yep Scintilla is massively screwed up. It appears in the object list but there is no icon, I can't put it in my frame and all actions related to it makes MMF2 explode

edit: I downloaded the newest...

Min you wouldn't happen to know how to get proper alpha channels? I've got the following setup:


-- Enable textures
gl.Enable( gl.TEXTURE_2D )

-- Enable Alphachannels

as a workaround to not having a force group visibility/invisible I tried adding a material with a transparent texture and changing a group's texture to that.

Although it resulted in weirdness....

Works like a charm, thanks!

Yeah I am sure I entered the right names. It worked fine when I changed it to a texture already used by the model, but if I change it to another one that isn't, it doesn't seem to work.

I have...

thanks! :D

also I don't think "set group material" is working. I tried setting it to a different loaded texture, but it couldn't load it for some reason. "On texture handle request" wasn't called....

also Animation loopcount is broken (it always loops infinitely)

In relation to the ms3d extension, would it be possible to have individual mode, shading and culling settings?

It'd be extremely useful as I have one model I would want to be fully visible at all...

Sorry to bump this old topic.

Is it possible to have anti-matter? It would be really useful for, say, a Worms game where you would have the play area, and then apply circular anti-matters on...

wish you all the best at that since I can't wait for it to be accessible :grin:

Onu features this... doesn't it? At least it has the modularity for it to be added

running Windows 7 x64 aswell and I'm having no problems with the registry at all

The download link is down

ghetto supersampling [/quote]haha

a bit too slow and inefficient, I think you could be able to pull off the same effect using a shader and HWA with a much more consistent framerate.

But good job anyway!

Is timer (time since start of frame in 1/1000 seconds) framerate independent or does it increase in speed when framerate increases?

any input appreciated

dunno about other phones

"Left Mouse Button Clicked" and "Right Mouse Button Clicked" are both triggered on any of the two.

Additionally there is no "Middle Mouse Button Clicked" :(

not to appear pushy, butttt... :)

it only adds 1 because you told it to add 1 to the counter

so, it does what it should...??

the OpenGL base has its own window afaik, I don't think its possible to mix the two

then again anything you could do in MMF would be possible in ogl

well, still excited about the external loading extension.

Speaking of bugs, did you manage to sort out that transparency bug I had?

i-is that a yes or a no? I can't tell :S

this may be a stupid question but

would it be possible to have xlua run in its own thread?

That's not my point, my point is you can already do it completely outside MMF2 through xlua and opengl functions, and I don't see a use for an object that does the exact same thing.
I guess its to...

honestly don't get the function of Camera object since you can do it in xlua and opengl through translations and rotations.

The lightning object has me excited though! I've always wanted to get...

that fixed it!

they seem to sprout when importing events from other frames or applications when the object itself isn't present

also it could just be me, but the opengl base md2 example instantly crashes for me :S

edit: actually both examples do

honestly, I'm having a hard time finding a decent converter that goes from 3ds max to md2

didn't looki also work on this
oh well, this is excellent. Hyped!

Would love to see a 3ds version, too :)

edit: aww, this isn't for Opengl base?

yes but how would you merge some of the features

very lovely

I wish the standard active object had all these kind of features though so I wouldn't have to use a million different objects for different purposes :P

I have the 64-bit version too

I use Windows 7 and I'm hearing them just fine. Did you make sure your sound driver is properly installed and configured?

he said no in the post just above yours. Please atleast read before you post.

select object can do exactly that

then I guess it is a bug. I'll try to single out the error.

is it correct that it is only possible to attach one active to one body at once or it will crash? Could this be a possible feature?

you need to include the examples with the opengl dll

its in the examples/OpenGL/ folder

yes, Looki pointed me to the OpenGL docs a long time ago and it's really neat :)

And RII, there is meant to show something in the window to the right. At least, it does for me.

yes I figured that out, Looki :)

I have a problem regarding depth. It seems that a vertex is rendered based on when it is made (gl.vertex) and not its actual depth. That means if I have a vertex unit behind another, it is shown as...

(Sorry to triple post but the edit button disappears after an hour XD)

It'd be lovely to have a parameter to get the horizontal and vertical width of a texture. And maybe make the name limit...

I have found out that alphachannels can be enabled by using

gl.Enable(gl.BLEND)
gl.BlendFunc(gl.SRC_ALPHA, gl.ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA)

hope this helps people who was wondering how to do it :)

but how would you get an image on that

it also seems to set the 'cut-off' distance to 100 (had to find out the hard way XD). A feature to set that like on the old OpenGL extension would be neat (though no high priority or anything)....

ah yes, that's what I thought, it just didn't work when I tried it earlier for whatever reason haha.

Cheers.

Very neat, while already somewhat possible to do with the current api, the above would definitely make things a lot easier.

How would I go about opening this in xlua as an external c module? :)

Pixel shaders can't do that, a vertex shader would be needed. MMF2 does not support vertex shaders.

You could do it with a pixel shader, or maybe even entirely without, but you'd never be able to...

that's great! I'll be checking it out.

One thing that does bother me a bit compared to the old OpenGL extension is that it doesn't feature multi-sampling (or did I miss something?). Really adored that in the old...

There is a bug where if an object moves too fast, it gets cropped, as if the sprite itself is moving outside its boundary box. It appears both in standard and HWA.

I hope it works with UDP!

so that beta #6...

56.37

pretty neat

how would I go about assigning [make:object] as a keyword? Including [, ] or : seems to break keywords.

Additionally, is it possible to assign a value to a keyword?

None yet. It's been undergoing development for a few years now.

Not exactly sure what Windows Ribbon does, can anyone explain it to me?

but did you fix it so you won't have to include the dll externally with your exe

I'd like to see this happen

that would be so rad :D

does Windows support it?

Really nice idea though.

This looks interesting. Care to elaborate what it is and its uses?

Technically a valuez is completely unnecessary in MMF2 but in certain other languages it is not :P

Blast (udp) is broken in this release

Actually my method would work better for the purpose and be less cluttered

valuex, valuey and valuez are just any variables. Be it global values or alterable values.

in the <do stuff> you could...

might aswell explain what I'm doing:

I have a platform game where when the user moves he sends his directions to the server. The server then corrects him according to its own calculations.
...

Using both pylacewing and the C++ server on a local machine transfering through LAN have these delays

which makes me a bit puzzled

I seem to have some problems with delays - a lot of packets being send take 3-4 seconds to arrive, even with udp on.

Is this a Lacewing bug? I don't recall it ever being this bad with OINC.

Actually I just tried running the server_with_udp_example.py and udp works fine in that.

Dunno why Aquadasoft.com doesn't work with it.

#4

Aquadasoft.com does not support UDP

just tried it

KlikFarm does though

I still can't get UDP to work for whatever reason.

I just don't receive the messages :V

this is both using the local Lacewing server and Aquadasoft.com

if valuex <> MousePositionX
valuez = 1

if valuey <> MousePositionY
valuez = 1

if valuez = 1
<do stuff>
valuex = MousePositionX

N64Mario, the problem is that it does that to the image in the image database. That means all actives that share the same image will have the same colours replaced.

The object looks neat. I tried The Staff showcase demo and while the graphics were horrible, it ran ok. I then tried to swap the default graphics with high-resolution Source engine textures.

I think the reason why there isn't such a feature yet in Onu is because of license issues.

The hosting features presented by the extension will never be as functional and optimized as a POINC server would be. If you are willing to ignore this and use the extension to host a server anyway,...

k

Public? Clickfarm is hosting one. Maybe more to come.

it works
and it's the successor of OINC. If you want support such as new features, updates and fixes you'll have to convert eventually....

that must be why Photoshop is the most popular designing tool ;)

oh heck yeah. It just make applications look so much more professional, I really think this should be looked into.

This looks exactly like OINC

except its called Lacewing

oh my god does that mean I'll have to entirely rewrite my POINC server

I swear if I have to rewrite my server people WILL die

so does that mean we entirely skip BAAH, MEOW and WOOF?

still anxious about this! Can't wait! :D

also, would it be possible to add a "on URL clicked"? This would be neat for when you need the url to direct to something inside the application :D

I loved that feature

I cried small tears when it disappeared ;o;

there was already a hosting feature in the newest addition, although that one is being withdrawn and remade afaik

simple example showcasing the error, please

since when did I have to pay for something that is incomplete

where can I get this object

right, right, and that happened last time... when?
Even CNC applications are supported by the newest Windows versions.

xLua by far

Exactly. If I have some kind of progress that I want to show to the user, that's impossible because the application is paused.

:(
that's a bit of a disappointment. That renders it useless for progress bars etc.

though I will definitely use it

Sweet.

Is there a way to have the dialogues not be modal? And is there an action to close a dialogue?

I noticed you released it in the released extensions forum, but you did not include a link. Where can I find v1.0?
Thanks

also in all due respect, I like that you release it as a beta extension, but I really hate the startup popup. It disables me from really testing the extension out as I can't use it for anything D:

Well, can't wait for the stable release. Really wish there was some XP compatiability though so I wouldn't have to make two popups different every time.
