The theme was : Entire Game on One Screen

Yes I started working on the concept, I hope I can finish something !

you can smooth the movement of the camera.

Instead of setting the camera position to the ray hit directly :
cam_pos = ray_hit

Do something like :
smooth = 0.1 -- a number between 0 and 1
cam_pos = cam_pos  + (ray_hit - cam_pos)*smooth

Hi,

you could send a ray from the camera position to the player position,
if the ray hit something it means there is a possible occlusion.

Till the ray hit something you can move the camera position in the direction of the player.
When there the ray doesn't hit anything you can move the camera back to normal.

Yes,
in this example, there is one shader with shadow support : http://www.maratis3d.org/?p=548
(You can look a the shader code to see how it is implemented)

Hi cygorx,

the physics engine keeps it's own data in memory for the collision mesh, so it's not easy to update the mesh every frame to match the mesh's animation.

It's preferable to transform the object dynamically in lua (or c++) instead of using bones animation and skinning.

Something like that :

   object = getObject("object") 
   object_startPos = getPosition(object)

   t = 0

   -- Scene update
   function onSceneUpdate()
       
      z =  math.cos(t*0.1)*2 -- move up and down
      setPosition(object, object_startPos + vec3(0, 0, z))
       
      t = t+1

   end

To apply it to multiple objects easily, you can use object programming : http://wiki.maratis3d.org/index.php?tit … ng_example

I think we are still linking to openAL 32 bit,
you should try to install a 32 bit version of openAL.

Same thing was fixed here : http://forum.maratis3d.com/viewtopic.php?id=1007

Hi Jillinger3dee,
do you get any error message before the crash ?
is it running on the computer used to build ?

Try this :

- install visual c++ 2008 redistributable :
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download … aspx?id=29
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download … x?id=15336

- update your 3d drivers

Right now you can use a third party library called from a maratis c++ game plugin,
for example knet : http://forum.maratis3d.com/viewtopic.php?id=640

Hi fohara,
yes it's a good suggestion, I'm just waiting to finish a stable version of the new experimental branch.

Thank you zester and Vegas !

Vegas :

It's normal, in reality all objects fall at the same speed, they are just slowed down by air friction depending on their shape, not their mass. That's why in the moon (no air) an iron ball and a feather hit the ground at the same time.
