Some really quick personnal taste afetr testing !
Shooter Template :
-Well, we have to choose on Project Manager the libraries we want, strange i didn't find Player librarie ?
- After importing you have compile errors, caus the libraries
uses sound, pictures etc ... that are not imported when you import libraries by the Project Manager !
So i had to copy/past missing things one by one at each error compiler
- The HUD of the example take all the screen, so i had the level dark even with sun at max and i didn't understand why :
It was the HUD panel implemented on player librarie that covered all teh screen
Well, i find some others problems that i didn't remember !
I was really discouraged to use the template really !
At final i just found the Best solution :
-COPY THE AUM97 SHOOTER TEMPLATE DIRECTLY ON MY PROJECT FOLDER
it contains all sounds,images it needs, i had just to modify
things, remove some etc ...
--------------
Shader test HDR : Fine, and great
--------------
SED : during lot of compilations, several crashes on errors on code
----------------
GED terrain multitexturing :
Even after choosing the textures, i could not paint the second one , after selecting it in diverses ways !
And two crashes , i abandonned
Too unstable for my taste , should be recoded ??
-----------
Wishes :
In WED right click on object explorer should show some menus
with : move,rotate,scale, properties, behaviour, clone, go to object etc .... ?
---------
Conclusion :
For Templates, perhaps change project manager to include all needed media, or put an option to copy
all libraries and needed media directly on our project ??
I just hope stability in GED, better WED interface one day, why not dreaming a all-in-one editor
??
This engine deserves better support and improvments !
Anyway, A8 is just great !
