[On hold indefinitely] Full 3D in RMXP

[King Kadelfek]

I have an important question : it works with RM, but can we really control characters, etc... with Ruby code ?

 

[DeM0nFiRe]

This is cool and all, but wouldn't it be significantly easier to just learn to program or use a program that was, oh, I don't know, designed to support 3D? =/

For me or for most people? I mean, I already use Irrlicht on it's own without RM. For most people, no. The goal of this project is to break that stereotype that RM can only do what it was designed to do. Like I said, this will be very close to as easy to use as RMXP is now.

@King_Kadelfek: Not yet, but that will be coming real soon. You will be able to control everything with Ruby. Writing new scenes with my 3D API will be just like writing scenes with RGSS... except less suckish :D

 

[DeM0nFiRe]

UPDATE!

So, some of you guys still seem unsure on whether or not this will actually be controlled by RGSS. I decided to objectify the functions I have exported, so you guys can see sort of what it will be like. Check out the first post for details!

I have installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package, but it still doesn't work...

Excellent work Demon :D
This is definitely a project to follow ^_^

@Xephyr: You can use the RTP this way. The graphics may not be of too much use, but the music and sounds in the RTP can still be of use

 

[DeM0nFiRe]

@vgvgf: Yeah, I kind of figured that that was not your problem. I'll keep trying to figure it out.

Has anyone else with SP 3 tried this, yet?

@Zeriab: Thanks ^^

[DeM0nFiRe]

I am, for the most part, taking a day off from working on this today because I have some other stuff I have to work on. Tomorrow I will export more of the functions and hopefully have a new demo.

 

[Kingdom Ablaze]

yey new demo to play with...wait i have to wait till tomorrow? lol kk see u then

So, arev, did I read your earlier post right, that you may be willing to help with meshes after your done helping TM?

Yes, you read it right

 

[DeM0nFiRe]

@deathbecoast: Good things come to those who wait. I am not going to say exactly what I plan on trying tomorrow, but if I succeed, you guys will like it.

@arev: That is great news! Please send me a PM when you are ready for me to give you some more information. You will be the second artist in the RTP team so far ^^ (Dustin's already started!)

If u need a 3D artist im learning some usefull things in 3Ds max and mudbox, there are some of my renders(sorry my english im spanish -_-):

Spoiler

 

[DeM0nFiRe]

Oh man, that would be great. I'll send you a PM. Thanks for the offer.

 

[Zeriab]

I have SP3 and it worked without a problem.

I also have Visual Studios 2008 Pro, .NET 1.1, 2.0 and 3.5

Demonfire this is incredible impressive. I'm very impressive, many people have tried and failed and others just haven't even tried because they thought it was impossible. I'm sure it's not totally perfect yet but I can see that this is a work in progress obviously. I wouldn't want to use it yet myself because I'm already too deep into my game to suddenly go into 3D but hopefully you'll keep at this and come my next game, I'll definately use this engine.

I wish I could offer some assistance but I'm a writer not a scripter. My skills are in writing and spriting, a little, so I don't know how I could help but if you can find something for me to do I'd gladly help on this here.

 

[DeM0nFiRe]

@Zeriab: thanks, man. Ok, so now I can be pretty sure that it's not my fault :P

Haha, I will still keep looking for a solution, vgvgf. It seems like you are getting segfault error, which I thought would be caused by SP3, because SP3 changes security on the memory, but if it works for Zer, then I am not sure what it is

@petros: It's ok, I'm not even looking for any coders to help anyway. Just artists and moral support ^^

 

[Kingdom Ablaze]

yey it is tommarrow now, so i can happily wait for said possible release for today :P

 

[DeM0nFiRe]

Haha, well it will still be quite a few hours from now. Keep your pants on! (pretty please ) :D

 

[Kingdom Ablaze]

lol i got to go to the doc, and then i got navy stuff and then i got work, so i wont be back on till like midnight in my time zone lol

 

[DeM0nFiRe]

Big update guys! You can now make 3D maps using the 2D map editor! Check out the first post for pics and a demo!
