nice,

about your texture filename problem (you rename it manually in the mesh file),
copy your texture into your "maratisProject/maps" folder before you link it to your material in blender,
then directly export the mesh in the "maratisProject/meshs" folder, so the filename will be automatically local.

I'll try to send you that,
tell me by mail why you are not able to use visual anymore ?

For Maratis shaders, uniform sampler2D Texture[8]; correspond to the texture slots of the Material.

For example, but you can do it in the order you want.

A shader written for Maratis will not be previewed in Blender, it can be adapted but Blender don't use the exact same technique.

You can. For example uses the slots like that :

0:normalMap
1:specularMap
2:blendMap
3:blendA
4:blendB
5:blendC
6:blendD

In your shader you will get the texture data like that :

vec4 normalMap = texture2D(Texture[0], texCoord[0]);
vec4 specularMap = texture2D(Texture[1], texCoord[1]);
vec4 blendMap = texture2D(Texture[2], texCoord[2]);
etc

Hi !

It's good to hear you are interested in using Maratis, I'm a huge fan of point and clic adventure games,
it's in fact because of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle and Broken Sword that I wanted to make video-games.

About your questions, some advanced functionalities can be used with the c++ SDK. I hope we can add new lua functions soon but for now the lua implementation only feature basic mouse (clic, mouse position...).

- For implementing cursor and game interface I made a tutorial here : http://www.maratis3d.org/?p=563
- About mouse interaction on triggers you can send a ray from the camera to the mouse position and see if it interact with an invisible mesh (trigger). There is a ray-tracing function doing that in the c++ SDK, I can also give you some code.
Same for the character moving, the ray intersection can give you the 3d point where the character needs to go.

I hope to see your work soon,

Anaël.

I just added OpenGLES2 and a simplified Standard renderer
Shaders and dynamic shadows are now working on iOS !

But of course pixel shaders and dynamic shadows are slow, specially for the iPad (because of the fillrate).
There is still some optimization to do, but if you want to use the StandardRenderer and not the FixedRenderer, the best is to write custom shaders with a special care to optimization depending on the object (use simple vertex lightning for characters and small objects, reduce the lights number and the texture passes, etc).

For your shaders to run both on desktop and embedded system, add this on top :

#ifdef GL_ES
precision highp float;
#endif

Cheers !

Thanks

I saw that the .font loader is not added in the iphone project, i'll update svn when i have some time,

EAGLView.mm is missing 2 lines of code :

"#include <MLoaders/MBinFontLoader.h>" (it's commented)
and "engine->getFontLoader()->addLoader(M_loadBinFont);" (to be added in initRenderingContext after "mesh loader")

The files MBinFontLoader.h and MBinFontLoader.cpp maybe also need to be added to the xcode project.

that's too bad, I hope some linux fan we'll be interested to have a look,
I didn't find time yet, too much things to do...

Hop to see you later.

yes, I think particles will be the next step,
I already have some code.

If you are using the downloaded Windows version of Maratis, you will need Microsoft Visual Studio to build a game plugin (dll), there is a free version of it : http://forum.maratis3d.com/viewtopic.php?id=90

> The game plugin examples for Maratis are including a visual project file, so you can open the project and compile without anything complex to do.

I know you can also call the Visual Studio compiler from Code::Block, but I never tried it.

Do you only want to use the Maratis Engine ? Do you know you can create plugins to add additional c++ code while using the editor ?

There is a tutorial explaining how to create a plugin :
http://www.maratis3d.org/?p=500

You can use a "CustomShader" Material, and write your own glsl shader,
to blend multiple textures in glsl, using 2 or 3 textures as sources, and one texture used as blending texture.

Here is a very basic fragment shader blending 2 textures :

uniform sampler2D Texture[8];
varying vec2 texCoord[3];

void main(void)
{
    vec4 texture0 = texture2D(Texture[0], texCoord[0]); // first textures               
    vec4 texture1 = texture2D(Texture[1], texCoord[1]); // second texture
    vec4 texture2 = texture2D(Texture[2], texCoord[2]); // blend texture

    float interp = texture2.x; // use the red component
    float invInterp = 1.0 - interp;

    gl_FragColor = texture0*invInterp + texture1*interp;
}

the compilator is not finding MCore.lib,

I see you are using :
c:\Users\Rodolfo\Desktop\Maratis-3.02b-win32\Examples\SimpleGamePlugin\SimpleGamePlugin\

There is 2 times the repertory "SimpleGamePlugin"
try to use : c:\Users\Rodolfo\Desktop\Maratis-3.02b-win32\Examples\SimpleGamePlugin\

Or if you want to use a different repertory, just modify the additional path in the project settings.

Hi,
first don't put MEngine.h or anything in the folder.

Your problem is that the visual project is not finding the paths.
If you want it to work without changing the paths, just unzip SimpleGamePlugin in "Maratis install path"/Examples/
it should work by default.

If you want to use a different folder, open the visual project settings, and change the additional include paths
and the additional library path to link to "Maratis install path"/SDK/MCore/Includes, "Maratis install path"/SDK/MEngine/Includes etc
