----------------------------------- A.J Thu Jan 22, 2009 9:40 pm 3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- Here is a 60% done game I am working on for my summative. Although I didn't add anything else but graphics (yes...I know CodeMonkey2000 that I didn't do anything at all for the last month or so :P), I just wanted some opinions on it first. Use arrowkeys to move the character (This is when the camera isn't free) To free the camera, press 'f' (this idea is credited to CodeMonkey2000.....thanks for the idea :D). While the camera is free, use the mouse and 'w', 's', 'a' and 'd' to move the camera separately. 'z' is for shooting (with no bullets though :() and spacebar for jumping. Any and all comments are welcome :D ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Thu Jan 22, 2009 11:47 pm Re: 3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- Gangster! 8-) you should increase the far z plane in your perspective ----------------------------------- Zren Fri Jan 23, 2009 1:53 am Re: 3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- And move speed. ._. Other wise it looks awesome. ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Fri Jan 23, 2009 6:35 pm RE:3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- Nice job man. You have come a long way since the beginning. Are you close to being finished? All you really need is AI and bullets. ----------------------------------- saltpro15 Fri Jan 23, 2009 9:35 pm RE:3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- alright, if I drop by waterloo with Mr.Hughes on the 29th, you have to show me how you did this :D, I'm getting into C++, Turing is way too limited ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Sat Jan 24, 2009 12:23 am Re: RE:3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- alright, if I drop by waterloo with Mr.Hughes on the 29th, you have to show me how you did this :D, I'm getting into C++, Turing is way too limited very good choice. c++ is the most powerful 8-) :D ----------------------------------- yanko Sat Jan 24, 2009 9:07 am RE:3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- Hey looks awesome, just one thing i seen it's kinda weird lol when you run backwards it's actually running frontwards but moves backwards looks weird. not sure if you wanted that... oh and i am in to 3D if you need help... i use 3dsmax.... great job love it ----------------------------------- A.J Sat Jan 24, 2009 10:46 am Re: 3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- Hey looks awesome, just one thing i seen it's kinda weird lol when you run backwards it's actually running frontwards but moves backwards looks weird. not sure if you wanted that... oh and i am in to 3D if you need help... i use 3dsmax.... great job love it 3dsmax? Is that a graphics Library for C++? I haven't heard of it.....is it any good? I myself prefer OpenGL and SDL, but thats just me..... alright, if I drop by waterloo with Mr.Hughes on the 29th, you have to show me how you did this D, I'm getting into C++, Turing is way too limited yup, that's the way to go :D I realized this when I started the USACO training pages (about 1 year ago), and since then I usually use C++ for contest coding (except for DWITE of course :D) Thanks for all the comments guys :D ----------------------------------- yanko Sat Jan 24, 2009 11:31 am RE:3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- ohh my, lol it's a 3D modeling and animation tool(software), nothing to do with c++ programing or 3D library.lol creat a model and import it in the 3D engines, for games movies ....... ----------------------------------- Insectoid Sat Jan 24, 2009 1:36 pm RE:3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- Make me wanna learn C++. Can you compile it for mac? I'm running in crossover, but I'd rather run directly on the OS. I agree, increase the Z view distance. How hard is it to use OpenGL? Is it C++ only? Or can I use it with Ruby? I really just want to learn stuff like this. Would be really cool. I think I'll do 3D in grade 12, using JMonkeyEngine. That would be sweet. EDIT: You used MD2's! Sweet! Gonna put them into AssaultCube right now! ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Sat Jan 24, 2009 2:23 pm RE:3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- OpenGL is just an API used for 3D rendering. It has bindings to many languages such as Ruby and C++. You first need to be comfortable with your language before going on to openGL. Having strong math skills helps too, and so does understanding vectors and planes. Though the problem with openGL is that it doesn't set up a window or events for you, you will need to use either SDL, GLUT or the windows API along with openGL to make anything. Iirc DirectX can handle all the window and event stuff, and do the 3D rendering too. I have never used DirectX, but it's not cross platform (only works on windows) ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Sat Jan 24, 2009 5:36 pm Re: RE:3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- ohh my, lol it's a 3D modeling and animation tool(software), nothing to do with c++ programing or 3D library.lol creat a model and import it in the 3D engines, for games movies ....... I would love some1 who could make 3d models from games :D ----------------------------------- CodeMonkey2000 Sat Jan 24, 2009 7:00 pm RE:3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- Can 3DsMax export to ms3d (milk shape)? I am looking into skeletal animation. ----------------------------------- A.J Sat Jan 24, 2009 7:08 pm Re: 3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- Can 3DsMax export to ms3d (milk shape)? I am looking into skeletal animation. for our game scripting engine? ----------------------------------- Homer_simpson Sat Jan 24, 2009 7:20 pm Re: RE:3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- Can 3DsMax export to ms3d (milk shape)? I am looking into skeletal animation. no but you can save it as a .3ds and then import it into milkshape 3d and save it as ms3d ----------------------------------- yanko Sat Jan 24, 2009 8:15 pm RE:3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- well said Homer_simpson.... lol or you can write a script for max to convert meshes lol , i cant lol!!!! 3D is fun you actually see your idea lol in 3D hahaha ----------------------------------- Dark Thu Feb 05, 2009 4:31 pm RE:3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- wow nice it's smooth ----------------------------------- A.J Wed Dec 30, 2009 12:26 pm RE:3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- Well, I lost my USB that contains the code for this project...and I had no backups (yea, I should hav known better). So, did I give the code to anyone here at any point by any chance? CodeMonkey2000, do you recall if I sent you a copy? Even if it was in the preliminary stages, I don't mind (as something is better than nothing). ----------------------------------- Quakerstate98 Fri Sep 03, 2010 6:03 pm Re: 3d RPG Game in Progress ----------------------------------- This is some of the best graphics i've seen outta most c++ applictations i look at well done. Its running really choppy for me but I believe its just my laptop i recall runnig it before just fine
