Also, does this premake script template have a specific file extension? Please let me know.

EDIT:

Hey, Sponk! I downloaded the DEB packages and they installed like they were supposed to. Thanks a lot, man.

This script must be saved as 'premake4.lua'

First download latest Premake (currently version 4.4) and put it in your Maratis project folder.
Then put the premake script template in this folder and modify 2 lines:
    - replace MSDK/ in msdk = "MSDK/" by the path to your Maratis MSDK folder
    - replace PluginSources in sources_folder = "PluginSources" by the name of the folder containing the sources of your plugin

In your Maratis project folder, create a bash file (a text file with .sh extension) with this content:

./premake4 codeblocks

Executing this bash file (by clicking it) will generate the Code::Blocks project files for you.
Alternatively use the console to go inside this folder and then type the code above.

For building using make, create a bash file with this content in your Maratis project folder:

./premake4 gmake
make

Com3D, does your reply apply to my situation as well? If so, would you mind explaining the process and what's going on with the script (i.e. what kind of file it is, where it should be placed, etc.)? I'd like to understand it better. Thanks!

sunnystormy: Whoops, used the wrong arch in the package...

PS: Maybe we should try to get Maratis into the Debian standard repository? Just an idea

EDIT: Just built a first version of the package. Testing is appreciated!
http://scary-squid.de/downloads/maratis-dev-amd64.deb

if it's not included in the package you need :
- the headers from the MSDK/MCore and MSDK/MEngine
- the libraries mcore.so and mengine.so (it could also be named libmcore.so and libmengine.so)
there should be next to Maratis application

from codeblocks, you just have to specify the path where the headers and libraries are

Better to check with Sponk.

About my project: It is nothing that special after all (I have not enough 3D-Artists for now )

Basically you have a jump'n'run environment just like the old games of Nintendo where you can jump, run and take items in an 3D-Rendered environment. Though you have an 3D environment you can only move in 2D space.

I will upload a video on Youtube when it is worth to be shown.

Cheers!

You said you are working on openSUSE, just to know, is the build from Maratis website working by default ?
or did you have to compile maratis yourself for this distribution ?

Hope to hear more about your project
Anaël.

Currently I am trying to create a game plugin for my current project but I ran into one serious issue: Maratis does not recognize the game plugin
(i.e. The custom behaviour does not show up in the editor).
I used the code from the game plugin example (Here ==> http://www.maratis3d.org/?p=500) and compiled it into a *.so
and copied that to my game project directory.

My OS currently is openSUSE 12.3 64bit.
I was able to compile use the plugin on Windows so my question is: Are game plugins implemented for Linux?
If yes: Any ideas what I can try to get it work?

Thanks for all answers/comments

Sponk

PS: This is the makefile used to compile the plugin: http://pastebin.com/VbmUccWV

Edit: I finally found the error. I forgot to link the files together in the makefile. Everything is working now. By the way: Maratis should report why it could not load the plugin for better debugging .
