Feature requests, suggestions / LAN Support

« on: April 07, 2003, 07:43:18 PM »

Have you ever considered providing basic LAN (multi-player) support using DirectPlay or something like that?
Really all you would need is a way to create sessions and send messages back and fourth.

Me and my son have been playing some LAN games at home and it got me to thinking.  Just a thought.

Technical forum / String Tables

« on: March 26, 2003, 01:30:18 PM »

Can someone give me a quick overview of string tables (what they are and how to use them)?  Would this be something suitable for storing dialog all in one place?

Thanks!

Technical forum / Changing an actors sprites

« on: March 19, 2003, 04:40:20 PM »

Is it possible to change an actors sprite at runtime?
Say I want to temporarily change the actors 8 Talk sprites to something else.
I noticed a SetSprite method for the Entity object.  Does the Actor object have a similar method, and if so, what is the syntax for using it?

Thanks!

Game announcements / My first WME Scene

« on: March 12, 2003, 11:17:41 PM »

Here's a playable scene from my tinkerings with WME.  I really dig this engine!

Download here:
http://www.bigmoon.net/leo.zip (about 10M)
Unzip and throw it in a folder with wme.exe


It's still a bit rough around the edges.  Who knows, I might even make a whole game.

Oh yeah, it's compiled with build 19 and requires hardware acceleration.


The wme.exe (WME engine runtime) can be downloaded here:
http://www.dead-code.org/download/wme_runtime.zip (400 KB)

Technical forum / Possible blocked region bug

« on: March 11, 2003, 01:24:59 PM »

It seems I am unable to toggle the Active state of a blocked region at runtime.  The Active state seems to always stay at whatever value it is set to in SceneEdit.

Thanks!

Technical forum / NPC (second actor in scene) help

« on: March 01, 2003, 09:49:29 PM »

I have a scene and need to have a second (NPC) actor in there (cause he walks and stuff).
I am loading the npc actor into a global var in the scene_init.script using the Scene.LoadActor method.
I am then attaching a script to the new actor.
When I try and call methods for my new actor from this script using the global var, nothing happens.
Looking in the wme.log file I see: Error@line 12: Variable 'actorBob' is referenced but not defined
Why is this var not in scope?

Thanks!

Technical forum / New Alpha Channel Support

« on: February 26, 2003, 09:10:05 PM »

I downloaded the new 012 build but I can't seem to figure out the alpha channel.
As far as I know TGA files do not support an alpha channel (at least not in any of the graphics programs I have).
What am I missing here?

Thanks!
