Nope, track file is found fine, still all black, same error message. It shouldn't be, I have a couple of macros packing and unpacking integer values explicitly in little endian format. It has to be something else. Something clearly isn't properly initialised. I will look into it further. Quote: The tree grows through the asphalt. "Were you stoned, when you coded that?"

Maybe the float, that you are reading as a 32 bit integer causes a problem? Or is that a fixed point "float"?

I accept every excuse, in fact, me being so picky about it, was just a lame introduction to my lame(stolen) pun.;) (This is my 999th post. I will stop posting for several days now, because i want to save my 1000th post for announcing the beta version of my current project, which is not quite done yet.;D) --- 0xDB | @dennisbusch_de --- |

On an off note, none of your images link properly. They're missing a / in http://. That or imageshack doesn't allow linking to the image...which doesn't make sense, since I believe they actually provide the code for linking to it.

The link properly has the //.. I think ImageShack doesn't like Matthew's go script referrer thing. -- |

Quote: The link properly has the //.. I think ImageShack doesn't like Matthew's go script referrer thing. This is accurate. Allegro.cc is corrupting the links. Quote:

It's an unitialised value related to the internal system of "track co-ordinates" (which function to map things to the road so that depth is in arc length, height is height above the track, etc) and a simple one line fix. Those that don't want to redownload, just add "OffsetAdjustment = 0" to Segment::Segment at the top of Segment.cpp (e.g. on line 10). Otherwise grab the attachment to this post. Besides that small fix, I've done pretty much nothing since yesterday! [My site] [Tetrominoes] |

Quote: Is the project dead already? No, I was working on the editor just last night. It remains an ugly, hacky mess, but at least it will pretty much do the job once the object placing works properly. I've also fixed up the engine code to be properly resolution independent (which it wasn't quite due to some hard coded 320s). I have to admit though, I thought the thread was.

I hope you continue this! I was also interested in your Raycaster entry. So please, finish this one

Quote: I hope you continue this! I was also interested in your Raycaster entry. So please, finish this one No doubt the breaking point will be art, because it usually is. Luckily this sort of game has limited art/code dependency - I can quite happily progress placing blue blobs and racing against grey rectangles until I can (hopefully) find an artist. So I will! In the meantime, I've attached my "super hack" level editor, with object placing overwhelmingly removed since my approach was fundamentally flawed. These are the mistakes you make when you're trying to do a full frontal hacktastic assault on a problem! It probably won't work, but if it does then the keys are: Q/A - rotate 3d view To quit, use your OS's quit mechanism (i.e. the window close box). Obviously I assume nobody here lives in prehistoric DOS land. There is no file loading/saving in the normal sense. Track editing is continuous over editor sessions and every time you quit a new track.dat will be written. The file format is super-suboptimal and will be revised. Ditto the way the elevation curves are made discrete. It all goes very slowly because everything is so hackish. Expect your CPU to be doing copious unnecessary square roots, etc. Obviously the real engine uses no square roots at run time. You'll notice that everything except main.cpp is duplicated from the real game project, albeit some of it has seen minor modifications since I last presented a version. [My site] [Tetrominoes] |
