Pragma - A 3D multiplayer sandbox engine with Lua-integration, based on Vulkan and bullet physics - Developers

[QUOTE=glitchvid;48984339] Any short-term plans to support other formats for import? Something like obj or fbx that most modern editors can output would be great.[/QUOTE] I'll add .obj-support to the todo-list, but I can't say yet whether it's going to be just for my model-compiler, or directly ingame. [QUOTE=TheNerdPest14;48984522]So is there also no limit on entity amount?[/QUOTE] There are no arbitrary limits, except in a few cases where there was no way around (e.g. there can only be a maximum amount of 8 lights within the player's view at the moment). [QUOTE=TheNerdPest14;48984522]Also, do you have any support for integrating NPCs?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=TheNerdPest14;48984963]Are you going to add anymore support to custom AI?[/QUOTE] I've started working on some simple AI a while back, so a couple of things are already integrated (Navmeshes, AI schedules and tasks, disposition management, etc.), but it's not usable yet. This will definitely be a thing however. [QUOTE=TheNerdPest14;48984522]Also, if I wanted to say, make a map of Europe on that, how much of it would fit with that size you've told me?[/QUOTE] Well, the minimum/maximum representable numbers with a float range from -340282346638528859811704183484516925440 to 340282346638528859811704183484516925440. I'm using the same dimensions as valve, so 1 unit equals 0.01905 meters, so the total range is -6482378703463975053310220701819469824 to 6482378703463975053310220701819469824 meters. In truth you'd run into problems [b]much[/b] sooner than that. The closer you get to the maximum, the higher the imprecision gets, and I'd expect there'd be some other problems as well. Either way, you don't really have to worry about it. [QUOTE=Kannata;48985027]The launcher keeps crashing for me when I'm updating wtf [editline]26th October 2015[/editline] nevermind[/QUOTE] What was the problem? Anyway, my priorities for the time being are (In that order): 1) Fixing up the multiplayer 2) Integrating full support for weapons 3) Fixing the physics / Implementing the remaining constraint types / Adding ragdolls 4) Vehicles and AI 5) Everything else Whether these will actually happen in that order is a different question altogether, so no promises. :)

For reference, the circumference of Earth itself is 40,075,000 meters, so I think a map of Europe would be okay. :v:

[QUOTE=Snickerdoodle;48985148]For reference, the circumference of Earth itself is 40,075,000 meters, so I think a map of Europe would be okay. :v:[/QUOTE] The practical limit for object placement if a single origin, 32bit floating point system is used is much less than that. [img]http://i.imgur.com/lBn1mDZ.png[/img] If my math isn't off (which it very well might be), you'd really start to see flickering somewhere around the 20km mark. [editline]26th October 2015[/editline] Granted, Europe map would load (memory issues aside), but things might "jump" visibly due to the lack of precision far enough away from the origin.

This is a cool thing you have going. I'll definitely look into this after I finish the project I'm working on now.

How do I change the resolution? I'm having a problem with the text getting cutoff, and I want to see if changing the resolution will fix it; [t]http://i.imgur.com/Pw8REBp.png[/t]

[QUOTE=DrPyspy;48991174]How do I change the resolution? I'm having a problem with the text getting cutoff, and I want to see if changing the resolution will fix it;[/QUOTE] That was a known issue when trying to use fullscreen resolutions, should be fixed in the new update (Just published it). Let me know if that did the trick, or if it still happens for you.

So will hammer if I try making a map for your engine allow me to build a map the size I want? Like an actual small town? Again, also, what was your entity limit?

[QUOTE=Silverlan;48995920]That was a known issue when trying to use fullscreen resolutions, should be fixed in the new update (Just published it).

[QUOTE=TheNerdPest14;49018640]So will hammer if I try making a map for your engine allow me to build a map the size I want? Like an actual small town?[/QUOTE] Yes and no. Hammer complains if you try to [b]load[/b] a map with anything that goes over the grid, but [b]saving[/b] one should work. I might add support for the source 2 hammer at some point (Which doesn't have that restriction afaik), and I'll definitely create my own map editor, but that's not a priority at the moment.

It would be really amazing if someone eventually copied a sandboxy game like garrys mod in this engine.

I'm still enjoying engine error 87 :(

I was thinking of at point after I finish this game I'm working of like trying to make some huge sandbox thing on your game like DarkRP or something. Is there any tangible player limit for your game currently? Or means of saving player data?

I hope I can make a super huge map with hammer on this, bigger than anything on GMod hopefully.

There's now full .smd-support for the model compiler, meaning you don't need 3ds max anymore to actually be able to compile models for sciolyte! That took a bit longer to implement than expected, so progress was a bit slow the past week. I should be able to get back on track now and finish the weapon system some time this or next week.

This is pretty interesting! Would it be legal to make a commercially-sold game with this engine?

While it may not be of the highest priority, any chance of getting the launcher to download multiple files at a time added to the to-do list?

Since this runs through OpenGL, will there be any hope for custom GLSL shaders? I'd like to imagine them being able to be pakratted directly into a map, allowing for mappers to add all sorts of crazy effects, like these: [video=youtube;JpksyojwqzE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpksyojwqzE[/video]

[QUOTE=AnonymaPizza;49092552]Would it be legal to make a commercially-sold game with this engine?[/QUOTE] I think it's a bit too early for anything on that scale.

[QUOTE=FrankPetrov;49094259]While it may not be of the highest priority, any chance of getting the launcher to download multiple files at a time added to the to-do list?[/QUOTE] I might push the file decompression onto a different thread, so it can start downloading the next file right away instead of having to wait, but it really isn't a priority right now.

Anyway, you can already do that. All of the default shaders are located in the "shaders" directory. You can modify them in any way you want and just place your new version inside your gamemode/addon (In which case they will take priority over the default ones), or write your own shaders entirely. Creating a new shader requires an additional lua-script, which gives you a bit more control over the actual rendering process. Or you can just go all-out and just use the [URL=http://wiki.sciolyte.com/index.php?title=Opengl]opengl functions[/URL] directly. There aren't any tutorials or examples for any of that yet, but I'll make sure to add some soon.

Is it hard to compile models for this? What kind of scale does it use for models? Is one unit for a model one meter in-game?

[QUOTE=TheNerdPest14;49141967]Is it hard to compile models for this? What kind of scale does it use for models? Is one unit for a model one meter in-game?[/QUOTE] I'm using the [URL=https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Dimensions#Source_Engine_Scale_Calculations]same dimensions as the source engine[/URL]. Even if the scale should be wrong, you can just use the $scale-option when compiling the models. As for the compilation, it's pretty straight forward and also very similar to how it works in source. You need to create a '.wai'-file (Similar to the '.qc'-file in source), which looks [URL=http://pastebin.com/c3sTts5X]something like this[/URL]. Then you just need to drag and drop the '.wai'-file onto '<sciolyte>/bin/wmc.exe', and it'll generate a '.wmd'-file in the same directory where the '.wai' is located. That's your model, which you can place anywhere in the '<sciolyte>/models' directory. If you're using 3ds max, you can also use the exporter scripts located in '<sciolyte>/sdk/maxscript' and use the exported files instead of smds. To test ingame if your model works properly, you can just use something like: [code] local ent = ents.create("prop_physics") if(ent ~= nil) then ent:SetModel("player.wmd") // No need to add "models/" to the path local pl = ents.get_players()[1] ent:SetPos(pl:GetPos() +pl:GetForward() *80 +pl:GetUp() *100) ent:Spawn() ent:DropToFloor() end [/code]

Small progress update. There's still a bunch of stuff left to do on the weapon and vehicle systems, but here's a small preview: [video]https://youtu.be/SDwbsbDWB_0[/video] I didn't have a whole lot of time to work on the engine this month, so I didn't get quite as much done as I had planned.

This looks really fucking cool. Good work and good luck to all of you working on it.

So, I thought it might be a good idea if I create some small test-scripts from time to time and show the code here, as an insight on how things work. E.g. here's an example script on how to render GUI-elements (or anything 2D-related for that matter) on a 3D-surface: [video]https://youtu.be/sIbWv5zWuyQ[/video] [CODE] local textureSize = Vector2(512,512) -- Resolution for our texture local clearColor = Color(0,255,0,255) -- Background color -- Create the OpenGL Texture local glTex = GLTexture.Create(textureSize.x,textureSize.y,GL_RG B,GL_RGB,GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE) -- Assign it to the target game-texture local tex = engine.create_texture("test_gui_texture",glTex) -- Create the frame buffer object (Required to be able to draw to the OpenGL Texture) local glFbo = GLFrameBuffer.Create(glTex) -- Create the actual material and assign the texture to it local mat = engine.create_material( "test_gui_material", -- The material name. Has to be the same as the surface where the texture should be drawn "textured" -- The shader to use ) mat:SetTexture("diffusemap",tex) local el = gui.get_chat_box() -- The element to draw to the texture local origin = Vector2(0,0) -- Local offset of the GUI Element local defaultClearColor = Color(0,0,0,255) local cb = game.add_callback("Render",function() glFbo:Bind() -- Everything after this will be rendered into the texture attached to this frame buffer local w,h = opengl.get_view_port_size() -- We have to reset the view port once we're done rendering opengl.set_view_port(0,0,textureSize.x,textureSize .y) opengl.set_clear_color(clearColor) -- We want to re-render the texture every frame, so we have to clear the contents from the last frame opengl.clear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT) opengl.enable(GL_BLEND) -- Required for text rendering opengl.set_blend_func(GL_SRC_ALPHA,GL_ONE_MINUS_SR C_ALPHA) -- Render the element, as well as all its children el:Render(origin,textureSize) opengl.disable(GL_BLEND); glFbo:Unbind() -- Unbind it, to make sure it's not being manipulated after this point opengl.set_clear_color(defaultClearColor) -- Reset the clear color opengl.set_view_port(0,0,w,h) -- Reset the viewport end) [/CODE] If there's interest, I'll start doing more of these. I'm open to suggestions, so if anyone wants to see something specific, let me know and I'll whip something up!

Small status update: Development on the engine is currently on hold until february due to exams, however I'll have a lot more time on my hands after that and should be able to publish updates at the same rate as before. However, I've finally finished the [url=http://mods.sciolyte.com]Modding Hub[/url]! (Please excuse the shitty design, I'm not a designer, so I just grabbed a free template for now.) It's still empty, since there are no uploads yet, however the site is fully functional.

You don't need an account to be able to download content. Merry christmas everyone. :)

Merry Christmas! The example code you have provided shows that it would be really streamlined to create scripts on this engine so I'm looking forward to working with it. I'd really like to support this project aswell, so do you accept donations in any form?

I've also just wrote a small [url=http://wiki.sciolyte.com/index.php?title=Tutorial_php_queries]PHP wrapper library[/url], which can be used to retrieve a list of servers from the master server, and ping individual servers (Pinging doesn't work yet, since I don't have access to the up-to-date engine code right now. I'll make sure to add that as soon as I can.). Here's a usage example: [code] <?php require_once("sci_query.php"); try { // Send the query to the master server. See the descriptions in the 'SciRequestFilter'-class for more information about the filters. // 'RequestServers' returns an array of 'SciServerData'-objects. $servers = SciQuery::RequestServers(SciRequestFilter::F_NOT_FULL | SciRequestFilter::F_NO_PASSWORD,array( "hostname" => "Sci*yt", // All servers that match "*sci*yt*" (e.g. "Sciolyte"), case doesn't matter "map" => "fork", "gamemode" => "deathmatch", "version" => "1" )); for($i=0;$i<count($servers);$i++) { $sv = $servers[$i]; echo "#" . $i . " - " . $sv->name . " "; echo "IP: " . $sv->ip . " "; echo "Engine Version: " . $sv->engineVersion . " "; echo "Port: " . $sv->port . " "; echo "Players: " . $sv->players . "/" . $sv->maxPlayers . " "; echo "Bots: " . $sv->bots . " "; echo "Map: " . $sv->map . " "; echo "Game Mode: " . $sv->gameMode . " "; echo "Password Protected: " . (($sv->password === true) ? "Yes" : "No") . " "; echo " "; } } catch(Exception $e) { echo "Unable to retrieve server list: " . $e->getMessage() . " "; } ?> [/code]

I know I've said there wouldn't be any updates until february, but I was bored today, so I've whipped up a small socket library. Runs non-blocking/asynchronous, TCP and UDP supported, could be used for cross-server data exchange/chats, grabbing/sending data to/from websites, etc. [b]HTTP GET-Request Example:[/b] [code] local r = engine.load_library("socket/wv_socket") if(r ~= true) then print("WARNING: An error occured trying to load the 'wv_socket' module: ",r) return end function http_get(host,target,callback,timeout) timeout = timeout or 0 local function read_content(socket,callback,content) content = content or "" socket:ReceiveAtLeast(1,function(err,packet) -- Read the next batch; 'err' will be SOCKET_ERROR_EOF when all data has been read if(err:IsError() == true) then socket:Close() if(err:GetValue() ~= SOCKET_ERROR_EOF) then callback(err) return end callback(err,content) return end local n = packet:ReadString() content = content .. n read_content(socket,callback,content) -- Keep reading end) end net.resolve(SOCKET_PROTOCOL_TCP,host,"http",function(err,ep) -- Resolve the address into an endpoint (ip +port) if(err:IsError() == true) then callback(err) return end local socket = net.create_socket(SOCKET_PROTOCOL_TCP) socket:SetTimeoutDuration(timeout) socket:Connect(ep,function(err) -- Connect to the webserver if(err:IsError() == true) then socket:Close() callback(err) return end local request = NetPacket() request:WriteString( -- Header for a GET-request "GET " .. target ..
