Hey Guys!

Some forum members complained about missing easy to use templates. So i thought i could do this.

Now this is the result of some hours work:
Download contains all features implemented in a small demo, just start main.c and walk around (on platforms you will get effects)

Features:

• Player Controller
  • Third Person
    
  • First Person
    
• Background Music with default music and 4 scenes
• Weather controller with rain and snow
• Completly customizable from WED

Just ask for other template parts, i'll try to implement them when i got the time.

Greetings
Felix

Man, this is awesome ^^ Thanks a lot!

Great

But from a programming perspective i don't think it is good ??

action tps_controller()
{
player_controller();
while(me)
{
my->pan += mouse_speed * mouse_force.x;

// Camera code
vec_set(&camera->x, &my->skill5);
vec_rotate(&camera->x, &my->pan);
vec_add(&camera->x, &my->x);
camera->pan = my->pan;
camera->tilt = -15;
wait(1);
}
}


You can see the green call to a function having a while loop, than in the function another while loop in blue.
So there are Two while functions, i odn't think this is optimized ?
Perhaps it was betetr to copy and paste and have only one loop for each template ?

Anyway thanks.

That's great work and should need to be on 3DGS official map properties templates.

sometimes performance isn't the best solution
and gamestudio doesn't allow to add multiple actions for one entity in WED so i needed to call this in code

i just want to hold it as modules

Yep 3DGS is not designed as modules, you'll have to re think all programming core.
We don't need multiple actions, ust the possibility to choose two actions like you did :
- TPS
- FPS
and each having one loop only.
Choosing some action template is enought and already some modular creation of a game.

ratchet@ I'm pretty sure, that there is no way to keep it flexible without modules, as this template doesn't belong to any fixed genre. If you want to keep it fast with one loop, why don't you organize it your own way? You'll need to rewrite it, to fit your project anyway, as there won't be a code snippet (ever), which will be 100 % optimized and will fit your needs for 100 %.

I'm sorry, but your posts are absolute bullshit, to put it mildly.

If you make performance claims, back them up with profiler results! Premature optimization, especially done by people who explicitly claim to not be programmers, are the worst. DON'T do that!
You propose to exchange literally no performance gains whatsoever for hard to read and maintain code.

For the future: If you think some piece of code has performance issues or is unoptimized, run it through a profiler! Don't try to optimize prematurely, it will only cost you time (in your case also make the code unmaintainable) and won't give you anything in return.

Amen. Thanks, JustSid. ^^

Apart from that MasterQ32's contribution is really nice. There is absolutely no reason to badmouth this.

I'm sorry, but your posts are absolute bullshit, to put it mildly.


Thanks , i just needed someone to open up the light for me and show how some posts i do are so bad and non sense !

You are welcome, I'm glad I could be of help

I agree with Uhrwerk by the way, this is a really nice contribution! Keep up the great work Felix!
