Have fun!

(10.4+ and universal)

Stuntplayground, RC 1

Got the OgreConfigDialog working, specifically for this game, as a beginning dialog, to offer options available in the Ogre.cfg file.  Also, using the latest OIS from cvs, because it gets around a problem with 2-finger trackpad use causing the game to freeze until ESC was pressed.

Here's another link to a page with the .dmg, just in case:

Beta 2 of StuntPlayground

Beta 2 of the Mac version of StuntPlayground. The Ogre frameworks are now inside the application. I've included the original docs from the PC version, for those who haven't actually played the game before. I'll have to update those docs, but to sum up, instead of the 'control' key its the 'option' key, and the mousewheel doesn't work yet. For zooming, use 'shift'+'option' while moving the mouse.

Beta1 is out for feedback. Here's a link for some instructions:

Material problems

Previous screenshots shows 'stats' overlay graphics a bit garbled, and I couldn't figure out why.  The graphics were present, and loading according to the log.  They sometimes were showing up looking like other material.  Then I noticed that the size of the loaded graphics were different from the actual pixel size of the .png file.  For example:

22:51:43: Texture: GUI_JP_DIST.png: Loading 1 faces(PF_R8G8B8A8,128x32x1) with 5 hardware generated mipmaps from Image. Internal format is PF_A8R8G8B8,128x32x1.

But, the .png file is actually 96x24 pixels.  By resizing the .png to 128x32, it works fine now.

Playback

Playback is working nicely.  The text color for buttons are now more clear.

I was using:

mButton->setProperty("NormalTextColour", PropertyHelper::colourRectToString( ColourRect( colour(0.8,0.8,0.8) ) ) );

And what works is:

mButton->setProperty("NormalTextColour", PropertyHelper::colourToString( CEGUI::colour(1,1,1) ) );

Jump!

An update with StuntPlayground - most of the game play is now working.  Got a bit of a crash on closing, but that should be easy to figure out.  New screenshot of after a jump:

StuntPlayground

I've been porting StuntPlaygound to MacOSX.  It uses the Ogre3D engine.  The source was kindly provided at http://walaber.com/.  The main challenges have been getting to run on the latest version of Ogre ("Eihort", 1.4.x), which uses CEGUI v0.5 for UI elements and OIS for keyboard and mouse input.

So far, I have the arena spinning around and the logo comes up:

More updates as I progress.
