New Maratis scene editor based on the FLTK toolkit (Page 4 of 5)

There is a new daily build online.
It contains optimizations for skyboxes, a warp to object feature when double clicking it and a preview when selecting a camera in the scene.

Have fun with it!

Hm. The player window should not have the cmd window.
Did you try "Project=>Update Player"? Maybe you use an old version for your project.

The nameless frame (Which has a name now ) should normally display all output from your game. Even those done using print in Lua. It stops responding since it waits for data from the game which halts when the Window is not selected. I did not find any solution for that problem yet. We would need non-blocking I/O for that which it could easily be done on Linux but not on Windows and others. Maybe I will do the update stuff in a different thread. Let's see how that works out.

More exact profiling will be in the editor itself. I'm working on an in-editor play feature. The problem here is the structural difference between the editor and the player. You can take data about rendering times or script execution precisely but overall speed will not match the player.

With the load/save plugin menu you can save object configurations to a file which you can load in other scenes/levels or even projects to reuse your work. Note that you have to copy all needed assets when using it in another project. I used it to create a smoke particle system for easy drop in into projects: http://scary-squid.de/wordpress/?wpcpro … oke-prefab

Well, you can't see any sound file because the wildcard was not working. I don't know why but I fixed it.
Could you send me the sound file causing the crash? Because all files I tested worked without problems.

About your particle system: You need to set "LifeDivergence" to a high enough value. I found that about 1/3 of the life time is useful for this. Those values are given in ms btw.
You can control the speed with the "SpeedMultiplier" value. Set it to 0.1 or smaller and you will have a much lower velocity.

I hope this helps

The new version is still uploading right now. You will be able to grab it tomorrow.

The prefab system needs much more testing but I think you're right

I made some snow btw.

Hm... You could send me an example? I tested all Maratis examples from the website and they worked, both in the editor and in the player.

Grouping is as simple as assigning a group as the parent of an object. It is only for organization and not necessary in any way.

There already was a discussion about the warp feature in GitHub. It currently only sets the position which should be ok for now. The idea is to calculate the position on the surface of a sphere which completely encloses the selection.

You have to reclick the 3D scene since it loses focus when double clicking in the list. To interact with the scene you have then to re-focus the graphics view in the middle. I do that automatically now when setting the position.

Thanks for your wav file! I tested it and found that the editor/player does not crash. Instead it had some glitches while playing. To work around this you could either convert it to ogg or make the sound mono. I'm working on this bug.

EDIT: You try to use a 32bit float encoded file. OpenAL only supports 16bit PCM files at max. Convert your file and everything should work.

Ive noticed, that save as level dont add the extension .level after saving.

Edit: The water demo crashes on loading it. The light flash dont crash here. OS Win732b gfx ati R7 200 series, just notices that my videocard only supports OpenGL 4.3! I guess i need to update my drv.

I'm not that dumb but i have found the problem, it was : spaces! the project won't work if there's a space in the name of the current or even previous folders.
it seems to be the case for textures paths too (not 100% sure, but i don't see what else it could be).
beside that, it works !

Noticed something, you cant duplicate a group.

Warp : this is way better than before, it works good on middle-sized object, but for small size object the view comes a bit too close for me (but overall it's fine )

Maratis inputs : the view is also rotating on the Y axis when you hold middle mouse button, making it quite impossible to navigate correctly, you should lock it

And unfortunately, the cmd window is still there but no need to kill yourself removing it now, as it's not showing during the editing process, it's just a minor annoyance

Two bad news
- For the space issue, i'm getting stuck at profiler window in all projects now (even those with no space)
- For Drag & Drop, i see the little "+" next to the cursor when i'm dragging an object (mesh, sound or font) over the editor window, but nothing happen when releasing

Oh and about inputs : is it possible to make a mix-up of WASD/ZQSD view movement + maratis view (middle mouse rotation) ? this would be the perfect combo imo

Please retest. It should work now.
Btw: I included your new input method

And you can reparent objects by drag'n'drop now
The new binaries are online.

Great, both issues are fixed and thanks for the new input.
just one weird thing : it imports a sound object when i drag&drop a font (.otf) file

My mistake, the space issue is back

For files types, as there's not much files types to be used,
maybe allow some, and display a message when it's not one of those :

maratis : MESH, LEVEL, MPROJ
text : OTF, TTF
sound : OGG, WAV, AIFF
+ those supported by assimp ?

Noticed another bug, i tried a project who got key inputs in a object oriented script,
sometimes i have to press the key more than 10 times to trigger my action,
i'm gonna do some more test before sending you the file
