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

[GeXeH]

You're making great progress, keep us posted!

[Rayboy1995]

I had forgotten about this, it looks great! Excited for future updates.

Any chance you might implement any languages other than Lua, like maybe Javascript with V8?

[Map in a box]

or using LuaJIT instead of Lua 5.3? Anyway this is quite the inspiration for a similar project I'm doing except voxel based. I'm kinda tempted to go normal map based after seeing all the progress in this (because I've never done deferred rendering with OGL and skeletal animations look super fun to implement.)

[editline]17th November 2016[/editline]

most impressive is that you managed to get bullet to work

[GlorifiedPig]

Can't wait to start modding this when my PC get's back from repairs.

This looks really great, don't let it go. Even sell it if you can, I'm sure it will make you some extra cash. Heck, I'd buy this for $10.

Unlikely. There's support for binary modules in C++ (Very limited right now), but support for one scripting language is already very time-consuming. (I also don't like JavaScript.)

I'll consider it if speed actually becomes a problem. I don't like that LuaJIT is stuck at Lua 5.1, and it looks like it's not actively being developed anymore. (The main developer essentially left the project a while back from what I've heared.)

Anyway, currently working on some volumetric light effects for spot-lights:

Not quite done yet, but it looks better than I expected. I'm not too sure about the obstruction effect. I have two variations:

a) Intense
[video]https://youtu.be/VCwoTQ6Jhgw[/video]

b) Smooth
[video]https://youtu.be/k5GlGi6jkwI[/video]

b) looks better imo, but has two downsides:
The volumetric light effect is still visible if the light source is completely obstructed:
[T]http://sciolyte.com/sharex/sciolyte_2016-11-18_21-32-02.png[/T]

And in some cases the effect can go through walls:
[T]http://sciolyte.com/sharex/sciolyte_2016-11-18_21-32-22.png[/T]

Variation a) doesn't have either problems. Thoughts?

Also added support for simple decals (I've cheated a bit, they're actually just special particle effects :v:):
[T]http://sciolyte.com/sharex/sciolyte_2016-11-14_20-32-12.png[/T]
Scalable, colorable with optional bloom. Glow effect could be used for billboards.

LuaJIT is most definitely still being developed, and 5.1 is still arguably better than 5.3, (LuaJIT is significantly faster and significantly more powerful use it use it use it). You can even enable LuaJIT's 5.2 compat define flag if you want to, but I wasn't a fan of 5.2 in the slightest.

Mike has kindly asked CloudFlare to help transition LuaJIT away from him to
a larger team of maintainers. We're not leading the project but we are
helping to transition to a new structure. As Mike has previously written
we'd like to make the transition happen over the next one to two months.
During that period Mike plans to get LuaJIT 2.1 into beta and cut the first
2.1.0 release.

The main guy who developed it (Mike Pall) has left the project, and he's the only one who truly knew the code inside and out. I'm not sure how much I trust anyone else on that project.
Anyway, I've added it to my todo-list, but I'll only consider it if LuaJIT is compatible with LuaBind, otherwise that's a deal-breaker for me (It looks like they are though, or at least with a few minor changes).
I've got other priorities right now, but I'll give it a go some time in the next few months and see how it goes.

Also, the latest version of bullet apparently has [URL=https://youtu.be/VMJyZtHQL50]built-in vr-support[/URL], that should be interesting.
Right now I'm still waiting for the promised [URL=https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr/issues/63]Vulkan-support[/URL] for OpenVR though.

[Map in a box]

He hasn't left the project, he still works on it, he's the one who made the latest commit even. But its kinda silly to "not trust anyone else". LuaJIT is mostly a dropin replacement too. He's in the process of vetting others though.

[editline]19th November 2016[/editline]

I keep up with the mailing list

[Silverlan]

Decided to add support for .mdl-files, since the .mdl file format structure is actually much simpler than I thought:
[T]http://sciolyte.com/sharex/2016-11-23_10-33-50.gif[/T]

Very basic so far, I'll try to implement full support (Animations, LODs, essentially everything) over the weekend.
I've also mostly fixed .fbx-support, haven't noticed any issues with it anymore. (Only triangles supported right now, but adding support for polys with a higher vertex count is simple.)
All in all, supported formats will be: .fbx, .mdl (+.vtx, .vvd, .phy and perhaps .ani), .obj, .wmd (My own)

[Layla]

mdl sucks and you shouldn't support it, would be better to just have it convert to fbx automatically but not directly support it.

[Silverlan]

[QUOTE=layla;51416056]mdl sucks and you shouldn't support it, would be better to just have it convert to fbx automatically but not directly support it.[/QUOTE]
By 'support' I basically meant support for the asset importer. You can drag and drop/import all of the supported formats into the tool, then save it as my own format (Which is the only format you can actually use for models ingame).
I'm just trying to make porting a little easier.

[bord2tears]

[QUOTE=Silverlan;51390243]*snip*

[/QUOTE]

I think A looks better with a very close / directed light (like the demo you used). B would be better for distant lights or lights in an area where heavy fog might make scattering a larger thing.

So, maybe per light setting? Though if I had to pick one, definitely A.

[Map in a box]

[QUOTE=layla;51416056]mdl sucks and you shouldn't support it, would be better to just have it convert to fbx automatically but not directly support it.[/QUOTE]

i have yet to actually get mdl file animations to load because of how raunchy the format is.

[editline]24th November 2016[/editline]

but it could definitely be a worse format, like, say, collada

[Silverlan]

[QUOTE=Map in a box;51422187]i have yet to actually get mdl file animations to load because of how raunchy the format is.[/QUOTE]
Right, so, animations turned out to be a massive ordeal, but I've got it working now:
[video]https://youtu.be/PMoVXALuW3E[/video]

A few animations still have some oddities, not sure what's up with that yet (Might just be how they were originally), I'll keep an eye on that.
Other than that, all that's left is some minor stuff (attachments, LODs, hitboxes, etc.), none of that should be much of a problem.

@Silverlan, wenn du das weiter so gut aufbaust hoffe ich doch sehr das ich bald ne l4d Karte rein hauen kann sicherlich machbar zumal wäre es bestimmt interessant sowas auf dieser engine zu sehen :wideeye::boxhide:

[Layla]

Awesome work, mdl animations are a huge pain in the ass

[NoRegard]

I just came here to say that you're doing an awesome job :D

[Silverlan]

[video]https://youtu.be/78dLukL4Kcg[/video]

Automatic script reloading really is immensely helpful.
I've also reworked the animation system for layered animations, so they support proper blending now, and you can add as many layers as you want (Attack animation in the video).
Ignore the clunky NPC movement, this isn't an AI demonstration. I'll try to write some proper AI for the raptor within the next two weeks.

I was looking around in the options and saw some options for VR. Does it work yet? I get this error when I tick the box and click apply.

(Old image)

It works, but it's mostly just a placeholder for now. My main issue is that I'm using openvr, which still has no [URL=https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr/issues/63]support for vulkan[/URL] (Even though it was promised almost a year ago).
I have a workaround in place, but it massively drains performance and is only really useful for testing. Plus, I only have an Oculus DK1, which doesn't have any features besides the actual headset.

My university will be getting some Vives early next year, and there's an extension for Nvidia GPUs which I could implement (It would still be a workaround, but much faster than what I have in place).
I'll take another shot at it some time in february or march, and I'll also add support for whatever the latest version of bullet has [URL=http://bulletphysics.org/wordpress/?p=456]in store for vr[/URL].
Until then you can ignore the option.

[Silverlan]

[video]https://youtu.be/TZnNx9nxE04[/video]
All NPCs will be controllable. It basically works like my possessor from my old Half-Life Renaissance addon for gmod, but it's directly integrated into the engine and very easy to implement for new NPCs.
I just need to finish the movement behavior for the raptor, and the AI system will be ready. Still got plenty of room for improvements, but I'll do those over time.
I've also got some plans for some humanoid NPCs soon.

That error usually means that Vulkan drivers aren't installed. What's your GPU? You can find a list of supported GPUs (as well as the driver) for Nvidia [URL=https://developer.nvidia.com/vulkan-driver]here[/URL] and for AMD [URL=http://www.amd.com/de-de/innovations/software-technologies/technologies-gaming/vulkan]here[/URL]. Add me on [URL=http://steamcommunity.com/id/silverlan]steam[/URL] if you're still having trouble after that.

Anyway, not much new since my last post (Still got a few exams coming up), but I've had a bit of time to improve the fluid effect some more (Still not quite done though):
