Stuff this into the next patch, This man just made my Christmas list!!

this is boss

Very nice! But why is the lighting looking in game and in the editor ? I though it was the same engine.

It would be so cool to have an in-game multiplayer editor, think about minecraft, players spend billion hours building crazy stuff with very basic tools, it's just much more fun when you work with other people and see the results directly in-game.

GISP

Vary nice!

OMFG all i gotta say is that is beast. and im sure there are a lot of people that dont really care about sharing the servers just put the instructions for making multiplayer work so we can also see the changes others make as well shoot id make a server running it just so people can mess around might be fun with you doing that im wondering what else you can make so you can make changes in game. something like ent mod was for half life.

just need a command so you can add a light or delete them cant wait till you get those in the mod.

Yuuki

Being able to move the props would be so cool :

like i said "ent mod" i always used that in ns1 on my server just so i could do things you cant normally with admin mods and cheats.

Oh God... Please make this possible!!!

I'll just post it here, the light_spot's atmospherics have changed from a boolean (true/false) to an atmospheric density (0 ... 1). Causing errors in 189 and preventing it from loading properly

Is there a quick fix we can apply to the code for it to work?

I tried and it should be something simple though, related to the following

<b><!--coloro:#FF8C00--><span style="color:#FF8C00"><!--/coloro-->LightEditorViewModel.lua<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b>
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->function LightEditorViewModel:_CreateAtmospheric()
    local atmospheric = Publisher()
    atmospheric:Init(function(light)
        return light:GetAtmospheric()
    end,
    function(light, value)
        local actualValue = value and true or false
        light:SetAtmospheric(actualValue)
    end)
    
    atmospheric:SetUndoMessage('changed atmospheric')
    
    return atmospheric
end


into -->


function LightEditorViewModel:_CreateAtmospheric()
    local atmosphericDensity = Publisher()
    atmosphericDensity:Init(function(light)
        return light:GetAtmospheric()
    end,
    function(light, value)
        local actualValue = Clamp(value or 0, 0, 1)
        light:SetAtmospheric(actualValue)
    end)
    
    atmosphericDensity:SetUndoMessage('changed atmospheric')
    
    return atmosphericDensity
end<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->


And changing the checkbox into a slider instead

<b><!--coloro:#FF8C00--><span style="color:#FF8C00"><!--/coloro-->GUILightEditor.lua<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b>
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->GUIWrapPanel({Text('atmospheric'), makeCheckBox(self.viewModel.atmospheric)}),

into -->

GUIWrapPanel({Text('atmospheric'), makeSlider(self.viewModel.atmosphericDensity, 0, 1), makeStepper(self.viewModel.atmosphericDensity, 0.02, 85)}),<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->


And changing this line
<b><!--coloro:#FF8C00--><span style="color:#FF8C00"><!--/coloro-->Radiance.lua<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></b>
<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->atmospheric=light:GetAtmospheric()

atmospheric = data.Atmospheric

into -->

atmosphericDensity=light:GetAtmospheric()

atmosphericDensity = data.Atmospheric<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->


But then I got the same error, 'getArmospheric' (a nil value). It's just not getting the value from the level file. Perhaps I got the name wrong, but MapEntityLoader.lua says "atmospericDensity" is the new name now (or I changed the wrong things, I'm not sure :P). Howeverthere seems to be backward compatibility int there as well with the name "atmospheric"


*sigh*!

Evil_bOb1

Thanks for looking into this, maybe someone with more knowledge of NS2 code and LUA could bring up whats going wrong and the proper fix. I am of no help in that department :p But it looks like you are on the right path, with 189 it might be that the engine refers to atmospherics differently than from 187. When Max and Andrew optimized it, some functions and calls might be working differently.

Kouji_San

Heh, I come from a Web coding background. This lua is quite interesting, this is actually the second time I had a look trough the lua files. It's feels quite familiar to what I know, seems rather clean as well! Heh come to think of it, due to that backwards compatibility in NS2 lua. There's a chance it doesn't even have to change (apart from the checkbox --> slider bit), but getting the values from the level file has changed somehow. If that is the case, I am at a loss :P (source code thingies)

Evil_bOb1

:( I hope OnosAteMe is aware Radiance needs some fixing. Lighting is just not the same without it.

Max

Any references to GetAtmospheric on a light would need to become GetAtmosphericDensity. I changed it from having an on/off state to allowing you to specify a value 0 to 1 for how strong the effect is.

Thanks a lot for that Max, that's just the info I needed :D

This is amazing work...

If you could, after you're content with the completion of your current tasks, expand the scope to (as others have said) a more interactive sandbox-style map editing process where you can move props around and such, a la GMOD/Minecraft - that would be absolutely amazing. Hell, UWE should just hire you. :P

Also, +1 for Spark editor integration. And +1 for this:

I'm planning to implement alternate methods for moving lights around for build four or five. Things like modifying props is planned for build five or later as I want to enhance existing features instead of spreading myself too thin.

I have some ideas for some GMOD like game modes but the ideas aren't fully thought-out and I'm not sure of the feasibility yet.

Are you thinking of a particle 'placer' too? I know particles are created through the cinematic editor, but something where we could load them from ingame would be nice.
