  • Modding the shaders

    The fire look great.


    My general idea is to use unused channels in textures to pass conditional informations to the shader, in this way I am able to control their behavior.

  • Flying Junction crash

    Quiet complicated by the last update but I am tired of it. The triangle interesting calculate between upper and lower levels was a nightmare.


    I will fix this when I free a little easy to do it.

  • Modding the shaders

    For the new underground station mod I feel some necessity to have a better rendering look, since the current effect for a closes space is some kind of a s**t, I feed unmotivated by this.
    In general I don't want this all shadow look, an underground station should also be filled with light, isn't it? To archive this, I have though the first solution: use fake mesh and materials data to get light into the space (make it open at the data level), but it seems harder than expected since I need also to remove the originals walls and use some hack work, by different possible solutions.
    Yesterday I turn my eyes on the shaders, it seems some interesting work can be done there, but I found little mods about this, so I don't know what's the capacity limit there.


    I would like to know, if someone could answer me, is it possible to modify the shaders, to use an emissive material as a lightsource, to lighten a closed space?

  • New underground station and elevated station

    Normally they are protected, from the report you given it crashed twice, the first time it's protected.


    I can't get more information from what you have given, so I can't help more, but mostly you have meet an edge case so change a little it's often resolved.

  • Common API

    Zitat von eis_os

    Why should a new api result in more instability?
    Currently I try to add UI Controls for Mod generated Windows and catch script errors without a quit of TPF.
    For UG it would be much easier to add more Data, I have to find and understand the game first, that's a lot harder.

    because of edge cases, internal functions may be called by conventions, which isn't known to mod developers, the game developers will respect these conventions, or the interfaces are maintained upon thier own needs, but not for mod devs. A simple example are functions in game.interface, they are designed for campaign mode, not for usual game play, when you call them in an ordinary scene, some may lead to assertions failures for some unknown reason. As you must know, assertions are conventions, but only known to game devs.


    If they open too much interfaces, it's sure they will have a lot more bugs to fix.


    But I know there will be some new interfaces open in the next patch, tom told me.

  • Common API

    I'm very pessimist about this, open api means extra work and potential more bugs


    Edit by Xanos: Removed unnecessary full quote of last post.

  • I have created a data dumper

    Since I have implemented an AST-Lua syntax pretty converter in the LivetextTool, I cost another night to implement my own lua data dumper, so that can be used for debugging the mod. It's customized to my needs, which is more easy to use than "datadumper" and "inspect" lib that you can be find on the github. Especially enhanced on pretty printing and function dump.


    the url is:
    https://github.com/Enzojz/luadump


    usage:
    place the script under res/script
    local dump = requiere "luadump"
    then call dump(fnSwitch)(your variables, from one to many)
    the parameters after dump(fnSwitch) is a bool, if you set printFn to true, the function signature in will be printed, if not they are ignored. by default it's false, so call dump()(...) directly.


    hope you like it

  • Common API

    Possibility to modify the track config from the return of updateFn will be a welcomed feature.


    So that we can build underground station without vanilla walls

  • Live text

    If everything goes fine, I will release a "platform boards" mod this weekend to introduce the live text that can be used for other mods.
