 Hi all,
 Just been learning the .js commands and made a video of some of the weird and wonderful things you can make already with this eraly iteraion whilst learning and having fun .
 sone of it is lazy like the joint splits , i could of diguised better but i think when animation possibilitty comes it will be better to spend more time there

hope you like Aliens and Waterfalls

 apologies i really dont know what i did to my stero mix recording of sound ;(

Nightmares now. Nightmares forever.

[DeanosBeano]

 haha
 well now you can have VGI nightmares

  I have released the unpackaged  download and put inside  user/outerra/packages/DeanosBeano
  maybe you dont need create the DeanosBeano folder you can put inside your own.

 When in game you realice when press C camera is in front not behind  , make camera go to back by holding right MSB and zoom in using MSW

 there is anomoly the thing is facing backwards , i hadnt realised sorry but it works same  W is actually forward etc because i reversed wheel force 

 please feel free to modify and  adjust but please if you make it feel better let me know here  , i dont mind if you release in your own name etc just small credits as this is  asked for :

What a nice little shiny fella ! And he can moon-walk !

Waterfall looking great - didn't notice you can do animated textures. Will probably ask ya for it later to inspect.

 I dont think you can yet until Particles come  ,i was making a psuedo billboard using the hide mesh and some counting variable , ok for one waterfall but not for many lol .

 

lmao

 Wait till it gets its Walkman and 80`s music haha

Interesting idea ... could you show how the counting variable looks ? And dont forget ABBA !

[DeanosBeano]

 Sure  , first i use a small proigramme  called  Timeline FX and it can output strips/gifs or individual texture with Batch number

 then set 32 frames in blender with seperate material file  becuase it will be diff in Outerra each one of course

 then in JS  i do following but obviously for all frames 

 Step 1
 Get all meshes fore example

Code: [Select]

frame1_id = geom.get_mesh_id('frame1');
// all way to 32

# step 2
then Hide all meshes

Code: [Select]

geom.set_mesh_visible_id(frame1_id, false); /// all to 32
# Step 3
 create a counter

Code: [Select]

_x = 0;
 #step 4
 Add value to variable and make if statement to activate certain Hide Unhide of mesh dependant on value of variable
 

Code: [Select]

  _x = _x + 1 ;
 

  if (_x > .01) {
geom.set_mesh_visible_id(frame1_id, true);
geom.set_mesh_visible_id(frame2_id, true);
  }
 
    if (_x > 4) {

geom.set_mesh_visible_id(frame2_id, false);
geom.set_mesh_visible_id(frame3_id, true)
  }
 Of course many drawbacks  with using oneach Frame like this FPS can make slow stream or torrent depending where looking and polycount of scene , im sure maybe there is max min fps etc somewhere  but hey it works for me as a test

  I am self taught only one week with . JS so im sure more efficient ways will come maybe with case switc and things  bu i believe better to learn like this than from  a book or person shouting to me " ffs do it like this " hahaa

 anyway ultimate is Particle billboards and i sure they come sometime , i`m in no rush , my last Hobby like this i waited 13 years almost to watch the engine develop and altho it was in the end Too big for the sum of its parts , i loved every minute and well here  i am again loving this one so far

 

[PytonPago]

Thanks !

[DeanosBeano]

No worries
 i am int he IRC channel too if you wish to chat about it
 
 For others come and join in the (its quiet usually) chat

Some 80s and Head twitching cause i know you all wanted to remminiss lol

For younger generation i will add a Booster and maybe not so 80s style lol

 I had an Idea at work today and put it down quickly in .JS soon as i got home lol , i was thinking a way to do some Gibs , I have a busy RL this week so really have to just put things down and work on them at the weekend so for now i present an idea  :

 

Hips Lips and Psuedo Gibs

 Reason it doesnt gib on first contact cause i use a variable  in the .js that is = 0 at start and increments during movemnent so when i hit a second time that value is > 0 and so effect is evident , not much special but thought i would point out

[ZeosPantera]

WOW. I wasn't expecting that. So you can make wheels fall off vehicles if it is coded as such.. Like a very basic damage model?

[DeanosBeano]

In theory yes (added later :you can make it appear to but not actually seperate)  but at moment i have to work out if a geom is rotating and you also want to move it
 must i first stop the roatation and then apply the movement .
 obviously the most vital thing is input , at moment there is no real "Hit" input so its really a psuedo define ,
 you could do some math about speed drop or direction change etc which would be excellent things to learn from and manipulate.
 Most things i do now are really just applying methods that are work around in terms of input  but the output is actually useful especially when i ventually apply some sin and cos math these can provide some nice paths for objects 

 obviously i am very new here  so i might have missed abaility to set evlocity and createvehicle /object via .js or maybe global variables from an objects .js can be applied to another object that would be dream stuff at this early stage
