Topic: Some Questions!

Hi,
   Just downloaded the engine and wanted to ask a few questions.
   What is the minimum system requirement to run maratis?
   Is it possible to use other ide to compile the dll other than vs?
   Does maratis loads the textures automaticaly? I could not find how to change the texture in editor?

   Regards

Re: Some Questions!

Hi, welcome,

the minimum system is having a 3d card with at least opengl 2.0 drivers (it can run with lower opengl in multi-texture mode but a lot of functionalities will be disabled). The engine can also run on iPhone iPad.

On windows you need a Microsoft compiler for compiling the dll plugins for the actual Maratis binary (the free visual studio express normally works for that).

If you want to use a gcc compiler on windows, you need to recompile Maratis editor with it first, because dll compiled with gcc are not compatible with applications compiled with windows compiler.

Maratis loads textures according to the mesh files, you can change the texture inside blender, or by editing the mesh file by hand (xml text). It is also possible to change texture references in code using a dll plugin. But for now there is no buttons to do it inside the editor.

Bests,
Anaël.

Hello,
Dont know if its any help for you but, you could also directly edit the texture in any image editor and save it, it will automatically update in maratis

Re: Some Questions!

Thanks anael. I just got confused with script and dll. Thought dll is mendatory. Now it is clear.

Thanks Vegas.
