[QUOTE=WalkingZombie;46144676]Do like! That already looks exactly like the marker in GTA San Andreas! (well, except without the color, but I scrolled down some more and saw it in red.

[QUOTE=rebel1324;46144871]not yellow >:( [t]http://i.imgur.com/iGEfCyK.png[/t][/QUOTE] Touche. But it seems to have multiple layers, it's not just one single cylinder shape, but multiple cylinders of different radii. Anyway, have you any plan of making this marker too?

[QUOTE=WalkingZombie;46144991]Touche. But it seems to have multiple layers, it's not just a regular ol' cylinder shape, but multiple cylinders of different radii. Anyway, have you any plan of making this marker too? [/QUOTE] About that mutiple layer, I recognize it but single layer is also looks good. Not gonna make cone thingys.

Alright guys, take it through visitor message or PM. Don't derail this thread.

[video=youtube;Wzz6kcCxzW8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wzz6kcCxzW8[/video] The polyvox documentation said you could "probably get away with" multithreading mesh generation, so that's what I did, and it runs beautifully. I could probably get it to run even faster on a better computer, but mine only has two cores so I limited the amount of worker threads to one. For anyone concerned about the FPS: - The chunks are smaller this time... The optimal size seems to be 32, I used 16 in the video. - This is way, way, WAY larger a volume than I would expect to be rendering under normal conditions. It's 800x800x100 blocks. For this size I would normally cap the render distance. - There are several culling algorithms I could apply to the chunks to make it faster.

[QUOTE=MadParakeet;46150336]voxel stuff[/QUOTE] This is probably the most impressive voxel implementation I have seen in GM. Do you plan on making something playable with it?

Yeah, i remember a stable minecraft-gmod server using a module, it's weird, because the fps were good and the module was serverside

[QUOTE=KillerLUA;46152026]I thought somebody made an entire, practically playable version of my minecraft in this thread a while back.

[vid]http://i.lastpenguin.com/lRpDi.mp4[/vid] I've not had much time for work on it recently but it's pretty well optimized etc. My next step is going to be rewriting the serverside C++ module to add threading for terrain generation and other expensive operations so it's a bit less laggy (it's more noticable in single player where both rendering and terraingen are happening on the same core, this was recorded on a source dedicated server). Right now it doesn't have entities etc for handling physics. I'm most likely planning on making a custom physics system implemented in lua since it doesn't need the additional complexity of handling things like realistic frictional forces, masses, and rotations like VPhysics does. [img]http://i.lastpenguin.com/bFgHt-hl2.png[/img] apparently I've also got a bit of a bug...

[QUOTE=KillerLUA;46152026]I thought somebody made an entire, practically playable version of my minecraft in this thread a while back. Not sure if it used a module.[/QUOTE] There have been a ton of them. I think Overv was one of the first. That one by penguin looks interesting, I'm surprised I haven't heard more about it. I don't really care for cloning Minecraft, I just want to make a general purpose voxel library for Gmod. Maybe someone will make a Minecraft clone with it, but it could also be integrated into existing gamemodes, like TTT and DarkRP. I have a few ideas for my own gamemodes that could use it as well. I think I'll eventually ditch the Polyvox library and write my own code. It's powerful, but I can't really use any of the advanced storage features because everything's threaded. The only thing I'm really using any more is the mesh generator, which isn't really anything special. It doesn't support UV mapping or custom block shapes. Before I do that I'm going to see if I can get it to work with VPhysics. Generating actual physobjs out of the voxel meshes could be ugly, even though the module has access to SDK functions that don't exist in lua. If it's too hard I can just use a simple AABB based collision system, but I don't want to if I can help it. [B]Edit:[/B] Oh wow, ninja'd by the man himself. How the hell does that work? Is it pure lua? Are you using a custom shader of some sort? That is some sexy lighting, anyhow. Does it have physics?

Does it have physics?[/QUOTE] The server side code is written mostly in C++ for generating chunks and doing lighting calculations. It's all on one thread right now which makes it pretty slow especially since it needs to do calculations for neighboring chunks to properly calculate how light overflows between two chunks which is seriously a bitch. It doesn't have physics right now but I do have plans for creating a physics system in both C++ (for server side) and lua (for client prediction) and using it for physics etc. The client side portion is pure lua using pretty close to every optimization I could think of. If you want to add me on steam my name is thelastpenguin, I'd be glad to discuss how I did mine with you since I'm pretty inactive in terms of developing it at the moment.

You should consider not drawing anything anything else except for the mesh. I'd like to see how dramatic the FPS increase is. [B]EDIT:[/B] Oh I see you already did. It's awesome to see how great your FPS is even when rendering so much blocks.

I currently have ~60kb of puzzles stored in plain text, and it picks up the category from the file it is stored in. The puzzle solution is stored only on the server - the client is sent a string that contains only punctuation / spaces and correctly guessed / bought letters. Currently the letterboard is the only functional part - don't have the wheel or playable elements yet.
