Irrlicht Engine

I just uploaded a first release of Stunt Marble Racers 2 with the new Ghost Race feature to https://www.dustbin-online.de . I hope to get some nice challanges from everyone around - I'll be waiting. I also uploaded a video to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6pzYLD7Tg4&feature=youtu.be . Have fun.

Hi, still work in progress but I finally have the client side of the Ghostrace feature finished and created a video:

Now I added some UI in the ghostrace mode to show the player ranking during race - the next step will be some server-side implementation of the necessary features. Uploaded a video with the new feature (on the right) to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gfu_itnjuEk @denzelbro: I am using Irrlicht 1.9,...

Hi, sorry for the delay (more on that later in this post ;) ). Getting XEffects working wasn't a big issue. It worked out of the box. In fact the scenes are not that big. I use a single spotlight in the scenes and an individual position for the light depending on the scene. IIRC you can also use dir...

In the last couple of weeks I wasn't able to work on my game (too much daytime work / not enough motivation / my development PC broke), but now I have at least added a feature to the online functionality: you can at the moment authenticate using Facebook or Google. I think I'll add some more (Twitte...

Nice to hear that it now works so I can go to bed and sleep well later on

That's weird. I guess my about 6 year old i5 should be weaker. What you could do is try to view a ghost using the "online" function. As the physics simulation runs in it's own thread and has a self-written messaging queue this might be a reason. The ghost replay on the other hand is single...

I have fixed the shadows in "Stunt Marble Racers 2". Now they look good on all tracks. New version available on https://www.dustbin-online.de/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLQf4IedcGg&feature=youtu.be @kklouzal: got no idea why your framerate dropped like this. What hardware are you...

6FPS .. it shouldn't be this way, I'll take a look.

Btw: just uploaded a new (silent) release .. now you can cancel the authentication . I hope that I find some time during the week to implement an authentication of my own.

Another preview: last week I started adding a feature where you can use custom textures for playing. On the WIP facebook page you can set a custom texture and once you authenticate in the game the texture is used while playing. Needs some more enhancements but can be downloaded from https://www.dust...

I had that in mind when designing the system so it should be relatively easy to do. I am also thinking about an own minimal authentication system as seen in many games (Log in or use facebook or use google ...)

Yes, I know that problem. I hope I can resolve it next weekend. At the moment I'm stuck in my daytime work so I don't think I'll be able to do something before the end of the week. Maybe I should add some imformation that you need to be authenticated through facebook if you want to upload a ghost.

I just made a video with a preview of the online functionality I am working on: you can challenge other's fastest laps (aka "ghosts") online and upload your own. I hope you like the video.

I made a video with the reworked sound effects and the soundtrack - Stunt Marble Racers 2 available for download from https://www.dustbin-online.de - soundtrack and some sound effects by Toshi Clinch https://www.toshiclinchmusic.com/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3bDROtv6O0&feature=youtu.be

I have uploaded a new version of Stunt Marble Racers 2 to https://www.dustbin-online.de/ : now you need to authenticate via facebook to upload a ghost. Imho better than writing my own authentication backend.You can login in the start screen or when uploading a ghost. It's still WIP (e.g. the applica...
