Continue ReadingCurrently I don’t have a proper work desk or place to live, so can’t do much on EE as that requires working on my actual desktop computer. Maybe one day I’ll come back to it. For now I’m just working on my full time job and trying to save for an actual place with room […]
EE Updates I’ve been a bit slack lately with the blog, but here’s an update of what’s being done at the moment. Windows Runtime now loads projects Improved many aspects of scripting. I’ve been focusing on the scripting system lately. Making examples and Demos, these are not only useful for demonstrating the engine, but also […]
There hasn’t been many updates in the last month, I’ve just been super busy digging in on getting scatters working. Such as: Upgrades to the Terrain Generator to add the options for scatter objects. Adding a GUI system to aid in debugging. Re-doing model loading to work over networking and with the new AssetLoader system. […]
The Editor Launcher now loads this blog from RSS feed, which means you’ll never miss out on what’s happening with Explore Engine. Scatter Maps Scatter objects are what are used to add Trees and Rocks to the world. They take full advantage of instancing. Instancing is when you send a model in to the graphics […]
Explore Engine is now Open Source. This just means that you can look at my changes and suggest your own 🙂 Possibly download the source and compile it yourself. If you’re following closely you could also see just what I’ve changed on the day-to-day. ExploreCode ExploreCode is the new Code Editor built specifically for integration […]
Over the past few weeks I’ve been working on making assets able to sync between editors. The asset system now generates and checks crc values of every known asset file in the project. Now I’m working on overhauling the asset browser which will aid in synchronization between the editor and the server. It will be […]
EE has made major strides in the last week. Terrain now renders correctly over net-code. Input also works. Currently only for the keyboard. Mouse input is a matter of time. How to use EE networked input EE networked input utilizes named functions rather than binding directly to keys. It’s up to the client to choose […]
I hope everyone has had a good Christmas/New Years. Explore Engine development in the realm of networking continues with more features being ported to the new way of doing things every day. I’ve been working on EE over the holidays. And have gotten the engine rendering terrain again. And now it’s all sync’d and network […]
The past three weeks I’ve been doing a complete overhaul of the engine to build networking in. It took me two weeks to get it compiling again. Now the engine is split in two parts. The logic on the server and the renderer on the client. The client still has some logic but mostly just […]
Terrains are nicer to work with now. I’ve removed generator layers in favour of biomes. Biomes are basically a different set of generator rules that are blended with other rules to create more varied terrain. Allowing the separation of grassy hills and deserts for instance. The generator no longer generates per chunk, but now generates […]
