Plugins + Scripts LogicBricks2
Thanks for the reply Hal, I ended up finding a solution for the thing I was trying to do. I didn't consider feeding one perlin value into another generator, I'll keep that in mind. Hope all is well otherwise, I totally get the life/modding interference issue. Regardless, thanks for the... -
Plugins + Scripts Light Texture Plugin
Yeah, I've been talking with him about it. It's more stable, but I need to be able to use custom textures. I can work around the texture path issue for the scene I'm working on, but I also kinda' want to release the lighting setup I made as a separate resource for others to maybe use, as... -
Question Packaging Var files and with plugin referencing SELF:/Custom pathing issues
Honestly, I'm trying to make this caustic water sim as plug and play as possible. There's a lot more to it than just lighting presets and few textures. I've ended up with five atoms (one a controller) working in concert, four of them moving at a constant rate on different axes, while maintaining...- Metix

Question Packaging Var files and with plugin referencing SELF:/Custom pathing issues
Interesting idea, maybe essentially pre-caching them would do the job. But ultimately I realized that the if the problem has to do with the plugin itself being in a subscene, if I released that subscene as a resource, anyone who uses it in the future would end up facing the same problem I am...- Metix

Question Packaging Var files and with plugin referencing SELF:/Custom pathing issues
Sorry, I'm not super versed on the vagaries of rendering pipelines and shaders. I usually manage to learn just enough to get the thing I'm trying to make work... well, work. So a little knowledge about a lot of stuff. Anyhow, here's a video of what I've been working on. It took about a week to...- Metix

Question Packaging Var files and with plugin referencing SELF:/Custom pathing issues
Yeah, after checking it out it won't work with how I'm using it. I'm running two directional lights and need to be able to load a custom tiled texture for it to work. You might take a look at LFE's source code for inspiration on how to implement custom textures, at least for how to map them to...- Metix

Question Packaging Var files and with plugin referencing SELF:/Custom pathing issues
Oh wow, didn't know that VAMstory had support for light textures. Let me poke around in it to see if I can reproduce how I'm using Light Texture. The Light texture plugin is working just fine for how I'm using it, with two directional lights moving in opposite directions.- Metix

Plugins + Scripts Light Texture Plugin
Hey @lfe, I know this plugin is pretty old, but I've discovered an issue with it that is problematic for the particular way that I am using it. If you put the Light Texture plugin inside of a subscene, and then package the scene, with the subscene, and package custom textures that I'm using in... -
Question Packaging Var files and with plugin referencing SELF:/Custom pathing issues
Okay, got it. Thanks again Hazmhox. While I can wish to create a perfect resource, I'll just have to use a load trigger to point the plugin at the desired texture, and then explain in the resource description how to use the subscene. So it goes.- Metix

Question Packaging Var files and with plugin referencing SELF:/Custom pathing issues
I'm having some problems making a new package, specifically with references to loose texture files that are refences by a plugin. Also to note, the plugin is inside of a sub-scene that I am adding to the package, not sure if that makes a difference or not. The plugin that I'm using is the Light...- Metix

Plugins + Scripts WindControl++
Hey Soup, really appreciate how I can now tailor the wind to affect only what I want and how strong for each atom. Anyhow, I've run into a problem that's causing an exception in VaM and not allowing me to load any scenes once I've loaded the scene I've been working on with Wind++. Here's the... -
Plugins + Scripts Atom Controller
Yes, perfect! That's exactly what I was hoping for. This plugin is so bulletproof I love it. Keep up the good work man! -
Plugins + Scripts Post Processing
Really neat plugin, though not without issues. Hope it gets some attention again. I'll just add what I'm seeing here: Building a custom scene using this plugin. Found out that every time I load the scene I'm working on, if I try to load another scene after (in the same session), it either comes... -
Plugins + Scripts Atom Controller
Hey Voithe, great plugin btw... I'm finding quite a few things to use it for you probably never considered, the hallmark of a great building block. One question for you though, the 'Local (or global) Rot Offset Inc.' functions, are the increments normalized and/or bound to a fixed tick, like... -
Plugins + Scripts LogicBricks2
I don't know why it took me this long to look at what your collections of plugins does, but am I glad I finally did. I'm actually specifically getting heavy use out of the PerlinNoiseMovement brick in using two textured directional lights with caustic water textures. It works pretty damn well...
