glportal / radixengine Goto Github PK

Add moving objects/platforms. This might depend on scripting support.

Possibly using https://github.com/yse/easy_profiler

Add momentum conversion to the trigger.

This teleport trigger transports the player from one point to another.

This is based on the FPS demo but instead of a fixed weapon this has a physics based arm that can grab a gun.

Fixed with the following PRs. PRs are in merge order:
GlPortal/glPortal#96
#97

There needs to be an easy way to dump important system data for debugging.

• GPU
• OS Version
• OpenGL Version
• Shader Version

This is a pre-requisite to #65

@GlPortal/technical-officers-engine This is an interesting issue to discuss and brainstorm on.
My first choice is JS. We've also talked about Squirrel 3 which has a very nice syntax.
Lua has been mentioned multiple times however I personally dislike the whole idea of not having braces. I used it for coding for minetest though and it was not a total deal breaker.

My values in the matter are:

• A lot of people already know how to use it
• The closer the Syntax is to C, C++, Java the more it feels at home
• It should be easy to integrate

Questions we should answer

• What is your favorite scripting language and why?
• What engines are there?

I will edit this comment as more input comes in.

Possible scripting engines (no order):

• sol2
• AngelScript

Analogous to GlPortal/map-editor#20
Simple interface to the map editor through a json file to transmit:

• current player position

Triggers' actions are executed as soon as Bullet reports contact, which happens as soon as possible, i.e. even when creating the Trigger, therefore being a 1x1x1 trigger centered on 0,0,0 since that's how the Transform is initialized by default.

In turn, if the player spawns at this position, the trigger tries to load the next map while not having finished loading the previous one. This creates a crash where the Bullet and Radix state is being modified when it should not be.

To avoid all problems of the same kind, trigger actions should be queued and executed only once Bullet finished all processing, i.e. somewhere later in the game tick.

Since the inception of the sound manager. The architecture has slightly changed.
Most of the functionality should probably go into a sound system.

@GlPortal/technical-officers-engine I don't see a benefit in Player tasks. To me they look like they work around our ECS architecture.

In my understanding of our architecture the thing that takes user input and acts accordingly on the player should be a system or a bunch of plain old C++ classes used by a system.

Hope you guys can comment on what you think.

I tried to build on Windows using MSYS2 following the instructions in COMPILE.md, unfortunately I'm running into several issues grabbing the required dependencies.

First, CMake is unable to find the OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY so I grabbed the one from the Windows SDK and directed CMake towards it with -DOPENGL_gl_LIBRARY=C:\path\to\opengl32.lib which it seemed to be satisfied with. After that it complained about missing the assimp library. I tried searching for it in the msys64 directory but the library does not seem to exist at all. I'm guessing the story is similar for some of the other dependencies installed via pacman -S

Is there something more I should be doing that wasn't mentioned in the instructions or is it known that RadixEngine does not compile under this toolchain?

Like what we did for 285 in source/physics/KinematicCharacterController.cpp

@JulianThijssen This looks like the right tool to hunt the performance Issues https://github.com/yse/easy_profiler

Continuing on #20, having the possibility of baking lightmaps into the map would improve both visual quality and performance.

List of resources we can use:

• http://madebyevan.com/shaders/lightmap/ Simple single-bounce HW-accelerated lightmapping technique (w/ WebGL preview)

https://conan.io/

MeshLoader generates a VAO and VBO in multiple methods, yet no matching call to glDeleteVertexArray or glDeleteBuffers is ever done, resulting in multiple GL resource leaks.

I suggest using refcounted mesh storage (either through a MeshCache class extenting on the current MeshLoader::meshCache use, or using std::shared_ptrs) as well as RAII object interfaces to GL's VAOs and VBOs. I might just "donate" VAO.hpp and VBO.{hpp,cpp} from my Diggler project to Radix to solve that if no other implementation is planned.

• Make game terminal run in a different thread
• Redirect log output to file

Port Caco Invasion to Radix

Currently the engine uses SDL2.
Depending on the platform, other similar libraries like GLFW3 might support more up-to-date features like better controller input, multi-screen handling, clipboard interaction, graphics context creation (be it OpenGL/Vulkan) or newer/better display server backends.
Additionally, having raw SDL code sprinkled everywhere makes it harder to maintain if there is an API change/breakage between versions.

It probably will not make a big difference but let's compare doxygen with http://www.naturaldocs.org

https://github.com/GlPortal/RadixEngine/blob/master/source/env/Environment.cpp

• Makes testing of config dependent states impossible
• Has us fiddling with the environment and a getter whenever we need a config value

• Write Specification
• Add ticket for map editor
• Add feature to map editor
• Add feature to engine

"gmd" (used to) mean "glPortal Material Definition", I suggest we change it to "rmdx" = "Radix Material Definition XML" to better reflect the name of the engine and allow alternative definition formats in the future (e.g. "rmdj" for JSON, "rmdy" for YAML).

Steps:

1. Change MaterialLoader's source
2. Change the extensions in GlPortal/glportal-data and GlPortal/glportal-raw-data

Surfaces like video screens, mirrors or portals

• Create view frame renderer and test map containing mirror- and video screen- like surfaces

Add some very basic demo games and demo data to radix as well as a target to build them.

• Decide on where to put these in the file system and what repositories to create
• Create repositories
• Create FPS demo #67

Coverage is currently at 0% but should be at least at 0.x% so something is not right https://coveralls.io/github/GlPortal/RadixEngine?branch=master

This still has a lot of complexity associated with it but it can be fixed without having any knowledge of the code base and without getting the build stack to run locally.

I would be nice to support new texture maps ref

• Roughness map
• Metalness map
• Displacement map

@ElementW Can I create a system that does not use the update method but has one loop running throughout? With the current system if I have a while loop in the systems constructor, it seems to hang.

Hello There,

I am interested in your project, and I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction for compiling your engine?

I have all of the dependencies required, but I am attempting to compile it on MacOS. I would like to contribute to this project in some way, and I will continue to search for how to compile it with MacOS.

The error I am getting is the following:

CMake Error at cmake/FindGWEN.cmake:6 (add_subdirectory):
The source directory

 ~/RadixEngine/RadixEngine/external/gwen

does not contain a CMakeLists.txt file.

Call Stack (most recent call first):

CMake Error at cmake/FindVHACD.cmake:9 (add_subdirectory):

CMake Error at cmake/FindRadixEntity.cmake:7 (add_subdirectory):
The source directory

  ~/RadixEngine/RadixEngine/external/RadixEntity

does not contain a CMakeLists.txt file.

Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:117 (find_package)

--

To me it looks like a missing file CMakeLists might be necessary, when I check the directory, I found that there was nothing at all in the directory.

Thanks

Create support for gamepads (like XBox 360 or PlayStation ones) as an alternative input method.

Tried solving this error but doesn't seem to find a solution. If someone can take a look and provide a solution that will be great.. thanks!
