It would be nice to continue having you around this community, and ty for updating the file

Did you try the other video tools I offered to you on that website ?

Thank you for taking your time to do this, but I would recommend you to redo it, without lag, as its quite nasty. I had to stop it a very short way in as its just too much to sit through

Is there no way you can gain access to a simple MIC so there is audio ?     TUT's without audio I find very annoying, as nowadays most have audio , and if you can't  maybe you can redo it another time when you have such hardware. I think instead of using whatever it was you used, that you might consider using:

http://www.techsmith.com/tutorial-jing- … pture.html , or try one of the other alternatives IM not sure what you used, but maybe one of those would be easier and produce less lag ?

One t hing I noticed, and Im NOT sure it matters is this:

Text0 = getObject("Text0")

YOur example is this: txt_points = getObject("Text0")

I get that txt_points is a variable, but I wonder if not having them called the same as the wiki example does, matters ?

ATm its the only thing I can see that is different. It can't hurt to try it , in case it matters.

Is there no way you can come to IRC to chat about this..that would be great, and give the rest of us some needed company in the channel that atm is usualy dead during most of the day.

irc.freenode.net , #maratis

Anyway to answer your question, I have no idea what your code is doing, not for sure anyway..I easily get the general idea, Im just a tad confused on what the text code is doing...if I had a better idea of that I could prob . assist you in your efforts. Either come to irc (its much easier and its in real time!) or wait for someone else to chime in, which eventually WILL happen, and they likely will know what is wrong given my programming ability, atm anyway, is very lacking. I've just not had time , as my skills are primarily in graphics. Learning the code part as I go...:)

All of your code is easy to understand,short of this:

t = t + 1
       new_text = "Time = " .. t -- change the last "t" to display another info

"Time = " .. t < is the part Im totally confused by, if you explain that I might''' be able to help you. Frankly that part looks wrong to me, as if something is missing or incomplete..but that's a major guess as I'm just not used to seeing that type of programming given my current lacking expertise.

If you are using this code from somewhere else, could you point out to me where it is so I can compare and possibly help you spot the coding error ?

I just have a quick comment about terminal level. No one should be thinking, if they are, that those lights on ceiling give light, as they do not. If you remove all lights in the scene, all light is gone, short of the emit light coming from those ceiling panels. I imagine the emit is just for  visual appearance which  does lend a nice effect, so if one wanted light there they would need to add it.

Be it far from me to stop your creative mood as its always a positive thing for others to see what is being done here;), but I think by making a full game , instead of simply offering these smaller demo levels , which basically anyone themselves could, and will create ( and more).  YOu should know this is meant as  constructive criticism.  All examples are obviously welcome, and obviously appreciated, but more good will occur with full games with code ( if you wish), than very such examples anyone else could do on their own. Again, ty for taking the time to at least, even if on a simplistic level,  showcase maratis potential It would just have more impact done in a more complete game package is all.

So you know what I mean, I would refer you to what a user named 'Par' has done with his game example, which yes while overall simple in design ( not simple scripting per se ), shows a  game done with maratis thereby having good potential in showing what can be produced with Maratis THe best 'example' above of course is terminal, given it shows the value of EMIT.

thx

What do you mean precise elevations ? I just assumed you would zoom in as far as you can to a given area and then rectangle select and import into skethcup and go from there, so do you mean a different kind of precise ( maybe something Ive not tried yet) ? Ya, I am usually so busy with what I have I mind, that can't be obtained through warehouse ( I wish!) that I forget to check to be sure, so I'll do that later today, and ty for reminder

Only  reason I would use skethcup I guess for terrain is for getting maps in from google earth as now its the only way you can do it, but its a MASSIVE headache doing it. Just one of those things you have to get used to.  I wonder if the PRO version has a easier method.

Also I don't think sketchup make can be used for commercial work, as given maratis is mit and allows it , is going to create some problems for many people I suspect. It would be better overall then to divert them entirely to sculptris where possible  I think.

This is just a FYI, and is easily verifiable here:

http://www.sketchup.com/download

"  •SketchUp Make is not licensed for commercial work.  "

I did finally figure out h ow to get my terrain/textures from sculptris into blender, then into maratis, but I still can not get them directly from blender  to Maratis, and im referring to just making a terrain and doing multiple texture painting on it. Anael as I recall ? said you needed a shader for this from blender to maratis but quite clearly you don't, when going from sculptris to blender to maratis so all this needs to be e  xplained a lot better. It doesn't really matter to me so much as I find blender very sluggish at doing many things ( texture painting and sometimes sculpting, maybe a bug dunno) and atm anyway, I much prefer sculptris for all my creation tasks because its so easy to unwrap and sculpt and texture

So if you have a way of doing this without shaders please let us know .

I don't see much horror here, but OK ;p,,whatever you say () though you wont break my heart o nthat note, as I absolutely hate gore ( though horror can  take on many forms, most mean it to include gore though , at least these days, unlike the classy act Hitchcock was!),,so unnecessary as if that is the ONLY thing you rely on in a game,,you aren't likely to go anywhere, nor should you.

imho, and I deserve my own don't we all, someday we all have to grow up and own society for our own contributions.

But anyway I definitely like some of these, but my question to you, is what is the status of these ? Are any finished or half way or what ?

I like bottom left one the most, so is that just lighting from Maratis or some shader combo thereof maybe baked ambient lighting?

I think there is a camera (value) issue or such, as clicking pacman results in a platform block falling and then all that's left is blue, and I didnt have to press anything, not even space. If any of those values are incorrect, this is precisely what will occur

Applied textures won't cut it for 'some' things, but many other static objects prob. just fine. I think in terms of landscapes a lot, as its what I love doing, and for that painting textures ( splatting , whatever one wishes to refer to it as) requires multiple ones.
