Ursus, a funny platform game

Updated Ursus to version 1.2.0

Now all textures are power of two, and you can also unactivate mip map texture generation in options menu.

If it still doesn't work, please give me here the full console history (to do this, you must be in windowed mode, and select the console contents with right button).

the console doesn't say anything exept that it loaded everything succesfull

Sorry but I'm not really sure to understand : do you want to say that the version 1.2.0 works ? Or maybe the console say that it loads successful, but the game crashes ? I'm not expert in English a your phrase seemed ambiguous for me...

sry i wasn't really specific in my last post....
it means that the console says that everuthing is loaded succesfull but the screen stays in the level menu....so in other words it doesn't do anything

Updated to version 1.3.0. It could have been a problem because I was using a IAnimatedSceneNode where I should use a ISceneNode, for collision detection.

If it still doesn't work, I abandon ...

Happens with DirectX or OpenGL as well.

I uploaded a debug version available here :

http://www.fopen-studios.net/zip/ursus6_debug.zip

where I replaced player meshes by book mesh, in case it would be a problem in the meshes "playerX.3ds". Please say me what it does.

genesisrage · Post by **genesisrage** » Thu Sep 29, 2005 5:04 pm

the debug version finally worked on my system, however DriectX locked up the game when switching from OpenGL.

phrounz · Post by **phrounz** » Fri Sep 30, 2005 2:52 pm

Since it seems to be a player mesh problem, I removed debug version, and updated Ursus to version 1.4.0 :
http://www.fopen-studios.net/index.php? ... ursus6.txt

You can now select in options between :
- player high quality mesh (previous mesh, do not work on some computers)
- player normal mesh (a new mesh, I hope it works)
- choose the book mesh as player mesh, like in the debug version (failsafe solution, a bit strange to play

)

DirectX loading bug has also been removed, but there is no more text in balloons in DirectX mode, so OpenGL is more advised.

IT WORKS

Good Job man i like it!
But i have a question. how did do checking collision with bullets and than removing the bullet?
i'm working on that for my game right now and i cant get it to work.

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Sat Oct 01, 2005 2:25 pm

I'm not sure to understand you question, but in my game :

- The projectile is a particular type of "Artifact" class.
But, in your game, you can for example create a "Bullet" class which will contain the bullet mesh, the bullet node (with animators), the radius of the bullet, the bullet type if there are differents weapons, etc ... and then create an array of Bullets.

- I didn't managed the collision between projectiles and world mesh because of laziness (you could see in the game that projectiles cross walls). I suppose that if I wanted to do so , I would use "smgr->getSceneCollisionManager()->getCollisionPoint" function.

- The collision between projectiles and player is calculated using the 3d distance between them, like that :

Code: Select all

core::vector3df vect = posPlayer-posProjectile;
if (fabs(sqrt(vect.X*vect.X)+sqrt(vect.Y*vect.Y)+sqrt(vect.Z*vect.Z)) < radiusPlayer+radiusProjectile) { <collision detected> }

- To destroy the projectile node, I do {nodeProjectile->remove();nodeProjectile=NULL;}

Ha now i know which part i kinds forgot
nodeProjectile=NULL;
thats probably the reason for my game to crash. thx
and the thing with the distance.....i'm using the bounding boxes of the engine to check for collision.
i will try your way, too.
thx for the tip.

Hey phrounz,

I've wanted to ask you how you change your device parameters without quiting to windows? I mean, like chaning resolution....

Thanks

phrounz · Post by **phrounz** » Fri Oct 28, 2005 10:08 am

Sorry for replying this late.

When you change device parameters, it should reload all the game (The parameters are saved in config.xml, and the execvp function is called). So you cannot really change parameters without rebooting game.

Another useful information : Irrsimple 2.1.0 is released. It is a part of the Ursus engine, which have been rewritten to be more object-oriented.
