  • But the third one works... and WTF?!? How did you do that? It's awesome...

    thanks

    it's part of the 's' plugin

    all of the important code is pasted from the CD-ROM(the download version) that accompanied Jos Stam's Realtime Fluid Dynamics for Games talk at the 2003 Siggraph

    the one in the version that works for you is a distorted sprite

    and the color filters are adjusted according to the smoke density

    that math is lightyears above my head

    but you can find a pdf of the talk easily by googling

  • well that sucks

    this is fun stuff

    what cpu/ram configs do you guys have?

  • hmmm, have no idea, why that's happening

    I tried downloading the one at the link, and it works for me

  • this is awesome mad

    this revives my heightmapping in my game

    which severely downgraded the look I hoping for when I first realized you can't do alpha

    thanks for this

  • sorry for the delayed response

    it can be used for serious stuff, if you don't mind it's current feature set

    I realized recently, I will never finish my game if I don't start on it, so sorry if I've left anyone hanging, but as the game develops I will continue to add features to 's'

    and so the timeline is indefinite for now

    I will try to get teh python stuff out in a reasonable amount of time

    along with a tutorial, but I really need to focus on my game before my job alters my position or hours and I have no more time to develop it

    on a happier not,

    here's another future feature of 's':

    fluid dynamics!:

  • part of the 's' plugin (which is indefinitely delayed)

    left mouse click adds some smoke (1 quick click will do at first so you can get a feel for volume)

    hold right mouse button and drag for wind

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1013446/s/fluid.exe

    this is just a simple sprite that grows with density

    better visualizations can be used

    like distorted meshes

    or physics objects carried on the currents

    another example, using a mesh:

    http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1013446/s/meshfluid.exe

    update:

    this worked for pixel rebirth: (the mesh one did at least)

    it's a reduced model that doesn't let you adjust viscocity and such:

    mesh color filter based:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1013446/s/meshfluidredux.exe

    sprite size based:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1013446/s/spritefluidredux.exe

    press 'c' to clear out all the smoke

    also, I think I know why it's crashing for some folks

    I have 1024 invisible sprites in there that were there for testing purposes rotating and stuff

    I'll make a new version that doesn't have those later

    this is going to be used in my game for debris being carried on wind currents

    and of course

    smoke and fog

  • sorry for the delayed response

    the hello world tutorial has the importation of a sprite font

    unfortunately, there is no easy way to cut up the sprites into individual frames, unless they are evenly spaced

    I was going to make an app to speed the process, but that's far, far on the back burner, as I really need to continue development on my game while I still have a job.

    you basically just make each letter a frame in a sprite

    if they are in order (the frames), then you can just set a range, , if they aren't in order, you can specify the order, with the Set By String action

  • These must be real people, unless the bots have gotten through the human check I put on a while ago.

    lookie here

  • Is this the right thread for this plugin? I thought I remember a larger thread.

    nah, this is:

  • thanks devs

    awesome!!!

    especially:

    - [CHANGE] Sprite: distort maps now tile the texture when distorting outside the texture area. Allows

  • don't forget sliders and knobs

  • windows controls will always appear on top, solution: don't use them they're glitchy crap anyways

    yeah, pretty much. there's so many problems with windows controls it's insane.
