Hi!

Maybe this is bad practice... but if you're making a game, why do you care about a crash on exit?

IN FACT, you can have an animated character walk around the world, pick items up and do simple quests using NO programming at all- you just need blender and blender2crystal... There is already provided scripts to help you get up and running.

God spoke.

Ogre is NOT a game engine. It's a rendering engine.

Crystalspace is also NOT a game engine, that just happens to be one of it's uses.

Seriously.

Now the only problem is

if (cdsys->Collide(cd1, &trans1, cd2, &trans1))
                        csPrintf("hit!");

CHEWS up the frame rate. It doesn't matter if I check every frame or with each step. I'd like to have this kind of real time check for all the enemies in a level.

I'm not sure if I can place this check anywhere else to boost performance??

Maybe check if thats getting like called a thousand times per frame or something?

Looks like a bad compile maybe.

from pycel import *

class appinit:
  def __init__(self,celEntity):
     zoneMgr = celZoneManager(celEntity)
     Vfs.ChDirAuto("/tmp/celstart/")
     zoneMgr.Load("/tmp/celstart","level.xml")

It looks for an object that you specified (appinit) in a file of the same name (appinit.py) and tries to create it.

The xml action script for the craft controller is incomplete. I only see

cel.action.SetSliding
cel.action.SetBraking
cel.action.SetThruster
cel.action.SetAfterBurner

When I am next at my computer I will fix this! promise

Hi!

-relight is old. You should use lighter2 now. But if you are using blender2crystal, just click [ ] lighter2 and then click Run... Everything should work!

Also note that you can use the recently completed map editor in CSExtra.

in CEL you can find a number of examples and great mini 2D games try some of the start_... stuff.

Afaik there will be some problems though. First of all you would use view aligned billboards and fake an isometric camera (like in isotest). Then when you load the billboards texture, you must match the ratio of the billboard to the loaded texture. Probably you will want to use a custom uvanim shader so that you can use a sprite sheet- this modifies the uv coordinates across an image so that you only display a subset of the image.

Sprite rpgs are the coolest but drawing sprites is very hard... Good luck.

Not sure, but maybe you want to try out the google summer of code editor for crystalspace in CSExtra?

Also, the new bindings are no longer monolithic and split into many separate parts. You will most likely have to change your patch to use the new system.

It should be there

Important Note: Version 3 of CELstart is the first one that works for python scripts. However there is still a limitation. You have to manually set the PYTHONPATH environment variable to point to the zip file (i.e. not the extracted zip file, just the zip file itself) that you want to run. We will try to fix this limitation in the future.

The next release is coming soon though hopefully and this will be fixed.
