I had troubles last night with my drivers here in Windows 8, and sorted it all out today, yet Mar Ed is still sluggish, so I am going to download a older binary and see what happens.

I'll let this thread/bug reports know.

OK, I am altering this post because I have performance that is more on par with what it should be ( back to 8800gtx for now!: crossing fingers, and what a headache).

I find the navigation method is very frustrating though in your game, but I look fwd to trying it out soon.

The moving forward is very difficult, because it seems based on gravity or something, instead of precise movement or mouse clicks ? I had a very tough time moving , so I gave up.

If it were me, I would def. use the sponzaFTP as a guide, as that has what I consider wonderful , clean fast navigation, which of course could easily be fitted with a 3rd person view if you prefer. Either way , much easier to move or so I thought anyway. Just FYI.

You should warn people so they don't waste their time, that this doesn't run inside Editor as your other game does, meaning you run  a batch file.

I tried running batch file therefore, and all I get is a all black screen, and when I click the mouse , it makes a weapons fire noise.

I tried to exit game, but was unable to, I suppose because I could not see anything on the screen (hm).

All other maratis games and commercial games work just fine here.

I look forward to trying it though

Good job, keep up the good work

OK yup I understand totally. I wasn't sure is all, if you used default brushes ( as in textures: I think blender comes with a few built in ?) or if you loaded your own and assigned them in brushes section. I understand all the rest no problem at all.

You're right, with a few simple tools you can make something decent

I had no luck getting anything I texture painted inside Maratis, so I look fwd to knowing the way. If you know, what exactly is the difference between just texture painting and this brush method ? I think I recall Anael saying ( or somebody if not him) he wishes they would remove tex. painting as it wasn't a optimal way of doing things,etc.

@zester: terrain,

Not following you, and Im not a longtime user /fan of blender, but I'll try here: Were these brushes part of default blender, or did you find them online and add them to brush section, and if so is that a very involved process ?

Not everyone is a longtime blender /modeling user, sometimes we need a tiny bit of hand holding, but that doesn't mean we aren't capable , just new , but very interested If there is a TUT that covers the basic idea of what you did, that would be more than fine too. Just a quick start or such. I have an idea,so I will start on that for now. Anael was thinking you may have used gimp at some point, so if I understand you correctly you did it all in blender,just using brushes and prob. loading in your own textures for them. I say that because your terrain texture near bridge, doesn't look like any brushes I've seen in blender, so maybe you did touch them up in gimp or PS ?

That should put you on the right track at least.

"  If in Blender you split your mesh in multiple objects and export as 1 mesh it can work good (it will create sub-mesh in the mesh format wich are drawn only if visible).

You can use normal mapping to add visual relief if you want to limit triangles.
You can also bake lighmap in blender and use the texture as Emit texture.
  "

Thankfully Anael is creating code ( should be in place soon in SVN ?) that will allow most formats to come into maratis, namely collada, so that should fix most issues for 3d work, at least in theory depending on the quality of said importer , all working through assimp > maratis.

You can checkout the forum post about it here:

Hope this helps. THis should make using your modeler of choice easier, and this should be a fix for most people, as I  too have been hoping for something similar

All I meant was that I thought in order to get a mesh into maratis that has been painted with more than one texture, that you needed a shader, and it looks like your ground has at least 2.

thx
Gm

It seems as though you are suggesting he not use another modeler, just blender, to avoid the hasle of export/import, and that simply seemed a bit counter intuitive to me for other modelers out that simply may not find blender usable. That's why most engines have multiple paths to content

I'ts really no big deal, just a observation

What I think about blender is irrelevant actually, and the fact I was trying to get at, which I stated I thought pretty clearly, were that maratis IS held back imho, due to its insistence on blender finalization. Max is the only tool atm that has someone working on it ( only if you have the very recent version, everyone else is out of luck: I get why, authors time is limited, etc..,), so short of blender and max, you are out of luck,,unless you don't mind holding your nose and using blender as the final 'tool'. I"d rather not

Major false alarm, very sorry..its working fine now.
