I wish all of you a belated happy new year 2026.

Hi, ich habe erst letztens die nützliche Tastenkombination alt + Pfeiltaste links gefunden, mit der man einfach zurückgehen kann, leider hat alt + Pfeiltaste rechts zum Vorwärtsgehen dann nicht funktioniert.

Ich lese hier auch von strg + leer, was bei mir anscheinend überhaupt nichts tut, bin ich zu dumm, oder gibt es irgendwo ein verstecktes Readme, in welcher alle Tastenkombinationen des GLBasic Editors aufgelistet sind?

Hi,

I just bought the new glbasic in steam yesterday.
I noticed, That my game runs a bit slower than before,
Also debug mode is choppy.

But a recursive function that crashed the game only when debugging
Works now in debug mode.

Any new funtionality in v15?

I only noticed That you can build 64Bit executables and That the IDE
Looks a Bit weird at 4K resolution.

Hello again,

only a small question, is it possible to build a linked list
in glbasic, something like:

Code (glbasic) Select Expand


TYPE element

*element // store the next element in the list..

ENDTYPE


And then check if this Pointer is NULL?

Or is ist possible to access a c class inside the GLBasic code, without using EXTERN "C" all the time?
Having the abillity to write a linked list in GLBasic would be awesome.

Hi, I  recently compiled my game on a new laptop and the game crashes after compile
and won´t close unless I kill it using the task manager.

Tried to run it in debug mode and it crashes if no break points are set,
however if I set some breakpoints during the initialisation process the game starts up correctly,
however I get a random c0000005 crash somewhere during gameplay all the time.

I used a lenovo think pad T430 with an intel HD 4000 graphic chip for testing.
Could this be hardware related?

Hello, I wanted to create a new world engine, where the whole world is build out of paths.

I give each path point a certain thickness, so an actual area is created from branch to branch with a certain width
( the length of the area is the distance between two points of the path ),
like this:



In this shot each father point has only one son, so the points can easily be interpolated.

If a father has two sons, i need to put some sort of triangle between the tree, to make a nice transition between those.
How to calculate this triangle out of the 3 branches, so that none of these branches overlap each other?

Here is how it looks with 2 sons without interpolation or a triangular spacer between the 3:


( subdivision is also different between the 2 pics in case you wonder )

Hi I want to rewrite my drawing routine, so that all drawable 3D Objects are sorted by the distance to the camera first and then drawn in that order.
Mainly I wanted to improve the rendering on android, to avoid some of the z-buffer problematic.

In the old draw routine I drew objects without light influence before light was enabled,
but if I sort every drawable object by its camera distance, I have to find some other way to disable light for certain objects.

Can light be turned off and on again for not lighting affected objects?

Well, I tried to compile for android, but I get errors:

Das sieht so aus als würde er sich über einen zusätzlichen Punkt aufregen, oder hab ich irgendeinen schwerwiegenden Fehler weiter oben in der Compiler Ausgabe übersehen?

Edit: habe Java 64 bit sdk installiert, kann das Probleme verursachen?

The game is finished so far.
It is a top down shooter where you have to kill zombies.
Made this for the Low Res Jam on itch.io

Here is the page on itch.io with a download link.
Currently only for windows
https://itch.io/jam/lowrezjam2016/rate/62453

Features:
5 Maps in a loop with increasing difficulty each time the game loops
2d light engine

Hello, I am in the process of writing a polyvector print function for my game, to achieve some cool effects.

I just wanted to know how GLBasic internally calculates its kerning in its PRINT function?
Does it use some kind of std kerning table ( since fonts are only loaded as .bmp / .png and not the .fnt file itself or how it is called )?
Or does it calculate a kerning table using the font.bmp data on loadfont ( by parsing each letter field with some algorythm )?

Hallo,
beim Testen unter Windows XP bekommt ein Kollege aus dem deutschen gp2x forum
scheinbar zufällige Abstürze,

Anscheinend konnte read nicht auf dem vom Programm reservierten Speicher ausgeführt werden,
( so zumindest die Windows Fehlerausgabe ).
Hatte so etwas bisher noch nicht gehabt beim testen unter windows 7.

Update:
Der Kollege hat nun Win7 installiert, nun läuft es.
War wohl eher ein zerschossenes System Schuld, wie ich vermute.

Hallo,

wollte mich endlich mal dem Thema Gesichtsanimationen für meine NPCs in Reggie World widmen.

Ich habe mir dazu zwei Möglichkeiten überlegt:

1. Die NPC Textur wärend der Laufzeit editieren.
Dazu müsste ich wegen des nicht funktionierenden virtuellen screens auf der Pandora, die Texturen, welche geändert werden irgendwie mit loadsprite2mem
beim Laden eines Levels speichern. Die Gesichts Teile müsste ich dann auch vorher mit derselben Methode laden.
Dann könnte man beim Gesichts update leicht die gesichtsteile auf die Grundtextur auftragen und mit mem2sprite abschließen.

2. NPCs ein, aus 4 Polygonen bestehendes, Gesichtsplain mitgeben, dass dann mit dem NPC zusammen gezeichnet wird ( könnte die genaue positionierung mit pushmatrix etc. realisieren ). Dazu würde ich dann nur die Gesichtsteile und ein paar wenige Gesichtsplains in den Speicher laden.
Bei der ganzen Sache muss natürlich auch der Z Buffer bei der Pandora mitspielen, damit das Gesicht nicht rumflackert.

Was glaubt ihr, ist die bessere Methode?

Hallo,

ich habe Unterschiede beim Speicherverbrauch zwischen Debug Modus und normaler Kompilation.

Beim Testen mit dem Debugger fiel mir auf, dass mein Speicherverbrauch sich
erwartungsgemäß geändert hat ( weniger Polygone auf dem Schirm, weniger Speicherbelastung &u. ).


Wenn ich es im normalen Modus kompiliere und teste,
ist der Speicherverbrauch deutlich geringer als im Debug Modus, wenn ich die Karte neu geladen habe,
wächst aber nach einer Reihe von Polygon Erstellungen und Löschungen ( Karten scrolling ) auf den Wert,
welchen ich im Debug Modus beim Laden der Karte beobachtet habe und verhält sich danach
auch so wie im Debug Modus.

Weis jemand woher dieser anfängliche Speichervorteil vom normalen Modus im vergleich zum Debug Modus
kommen kann?

PS: Es wäre auch schön, wenn man überprüfen könnte, ob eine Objekt Nummer frei ist, oder
schon belegt wurde ( durch loadobj, objstart etc. )

Hello, I have been experimenting with 3D Rails,
I wanted to generate an editor where you set some points
and the whole track is interpolated circular.



My greatest problem is detecting wether the track piece should be curved convex or concave.
Right now I have just set it to alternate between the two forms each trackpiece.

Did anyone made some experience on this subject yet?

[#####UPDATE############Problem gelöst#####]

#####UPDATE########
####Problem gelöst#####Ich habe vergessen die Terrain Polygone zu löschen.
Das System war zwar so aufgebaut, dass ältere Polygonmodelle überschrieben wurden,
aber wenn sie nicht überschrieben wurden aber freigegeben wurden,
war das alte Polygon noch so lange im Speicher, bis es durch eine, voll durch Polygone gefüllte, Situation wieder
überschrieben wurde. Die Anzahl der Polygon 3D Objekte ist somit immer bis zur maximalen Polygonzahl gewachsen .
Das selbe galt für die 3D Boxen.


Hallo,
ich habe eben den Ladeprozess meiner Engine umgeschrieben,
vorher habe ich einfach alle Objekte und Texturen versch. TileSets und ObjectSets geladen.

Jetzt habe ich es so umgeschrieben, dass die Karte einmal beim Speichern nach allen unterschiedlichen Objekten und
Texturen die auf der ganzen Karte sind abgeparst wird und die Liste zur Karte hinzugefügt wird.

Dateien aus der Liste werden beim laden der Karte geladen,
sind weniger als die maximal Ladbaren Objekte oder Texturen auf der Karte,
werden die nicht benötigten Sprites und Objekte mit Loadsprite "" , id und X_Objstart id ; X_ObjEnd gelöscht.

Wenn die erste Karte läuft ist der Arbeitsspeicher verbrauch geringer als vorher, wie zu erwarten war.
Wenn ich die Karte wechsle, steigt der Arbeitsspeicher verbrauch bei fast jedem Wechsel an, ( wenn man immer zwischen den beiden identischen Karten wechselt ), ab einem bestimmten Wert scheint sich der ArbeitsSpeicher Verbrauch relativ stabil zu halten.
Ist das normal bei GLBasic unter Windows,
oder sollte man mit LoadSprite "" , id / X_Objstart id ; X_ObjEnd aufpassen?

Update:

Mir ist aufgefallen, dass der Anstieg im Speicher nur dann auftritt, wenn neue 3d faces für das Terrain erstellt werden.
Dabei müsste die Anzahl und Speichergröße der Terrain faces immer gleich bleiben pro Karte und Sichtweite,
denn mit X_Objstart neu erstellte Faces überschreiben die, welche aus dem Scroll Fenster rausgefallen sind.
Die gleichbleibende Gesamtzahl der Tiles zeigt mir, dass es auch so läuft.

Auch merkwürdig, wenn ich eine Karte mit deutlich geringerer Anzahl an unterschiedlichen Objekten und Sprites
als bei der vorherigen lade, verändert sich der Speicherverbrauch überhaupt nicht.

Habe peinlich darauf geachtet jedes Lokale Array wieder freizugeben vor Funktionsende,
was kann noch zu einem Memory Leak führen?

[/spoiler]

Edit2: This code is for non rotated boxes only, which are aligned to the Worlds X Z and Y coordinates.
And have only 90 degree corners.

Edit:
Kanonet has done a nice optimized code of my brute force attempt,
so I am pinning his post here for people who need
that code:

Same interface as your function and should give the same results, while having obvious advantages. I love the fun of finding algorithms. 

My brute force attempt was like this:

// cX = 3DPointX , cY = 3DPointY , cZ = 3DPointZ
// bXL (box left side, the smallest x coordinate of the box ) , bXR ( box right side, the greatest x coordinate of the box)

With the Object will always stay in the same position and angle to the object it has been glued onto,
no matter how the object which "carries" the glued object turns.

I used this to glue my event objects together, to make even more interesting Bossfights and it works nicely.
You just need to preload 2 objects and set the variable glueInit to 1 and the calculate glue function will do the rest.
Of course you will also need to draw those objects using the information stored in the object type,
if you want some visible results.

You can also change the glueDist and glueObjAnY Variables over time, to make one Object orbit the other one or do other cool
stuff with it.

Bin grade dabei eine Stelle in meinem Spiel zu debuggen,
wegen eines Unhandled_Exception_Violation errors könnte ich ausgaben bevor dieser Fehler kommt
ggut in der Konsole gebrauchen, leider scheint STDOUT nichts auszugeben,
muss ich erst ein LogFile manuell befüllen, oder kann man STDOUT doch irgendwie dazu nutzen?

Hallo,

ich bin kurz davor den ersten Beta Test von Reggie World zu starten,
habe leider keine Ahnung wie ich eine fertige PND erstelle.

Im Momment läufts nur, wenn ich die PandoraEXE.pnd zusammen mit dem Media Verzeichniss zusammen
in zB. den Desktop Ordner der Pandora verschiebe.

Es ist ja auch noch eine PND mit dem Projektnamen in einem vorgelagerten Ordner vorhanden, kann man die irgendwie verwenden?
