Blitz3D for beginners - Part 2

[AdmEoS]

yeah I have exactly same as you but the screen is just black ._. I'm tearing my hair out right now >.<

[jeremythecool]

Hey man, just wondering when the next tutorial is coming out, I cant find it. Your tutorials are awesome man, I really need help with the collision detection in Blitz3d though, like how to stop the camera going through the wall.

[jeremythecool]

great tutorials.

[igooog]

I just get a black screen...

Graphics3D 800,480,32,2

obj_map1 = LoadMesh("Map.b3d")

mycam = CreateCamera()

While Not KeyDown(1) Cls If KeyDown(200) Then MoveEntity(mycam,0,0,0.5) If KeyDown(208) Then MoveEntity(mycam,0,0,-0.5) If KeyDown(203) Then TurnEntity(mycam,0,1,0) If KeyDown(205) Then TurnEntity(mycam,0,-1,0) RenderWorld Flip

Wend

End

@igooog

same here! WHY??

[GuitarReaper77]

@igooog

i figured it out, ur using an outdated blitz....

so in Del ed go to the plugins and instead of using B3D use DirectX eporter, that will export it as an .x file which can be read in blitz

[LittleNoobTV]

can u work on RPG tutorials? i want to know how to incorperate an inventory and usable items with it, which includes wepons, potions, and a lever or switch....if u do do a RPG like this, ppl can take info out of it to make a shooter also

[amcadam26]

@LittleNoobTV do you mean 3D rpg tutorials like making a game like Oblivion?

[LittleNoobTV]

@amcadam26 yes...a rpg (role-playing game) like oblivion....mainly just a simple inventory, quest story-line, and/or anything else doing with the many rpg's out there

[amcadam26]

@LittleNoobTV I've not got any experience writing an RPG, but basically 3D games work teh same as 2D games as far as inventory items go and other things, it's only really the graphics that are different. I do want to expand the 3D tutorial series into a more RPG type thing, I'll see what I come up with.

[HaZaRdxScopeZ]

@amcadam26 any 3d game tutorial would be nice =)

[Hunky359]

where did you get the 3d draw prgram.

[igooog]

@Hunky359 The program is called DeleD, and there is a free "Community Edition" on the delgine page. Just search for DeleD and it should pop up.

[ClayDemond2300]

What is the map maker thing??

[ClayDemond2300]

Never mind. I see DeleD.

[Globox822]

thank you, do more when you can

[amcadam26]

I'll do more soon, I'm honestly not very good at 3D, I haven't done much in it so I'm really just saying what I know here. I can't show you how to write Crysis or anything.

[doublesob]

ThankYou!

[YassnG]

I made a person in a 3ds file. I have each body part labled different in 3ds max. Is there a way to have each body part a different object in blitz if there in the same 3ds file? Sorry if this doesnt make any since lol.

[amcadam26]

I don't think so no, you load the object as one thing. I don't think you can split it up once it's in blitz.

[YassnG]

Thanks. Yeah I think your right cause I cant figure out a way but thats alright. I havnt been useing blitz much anymore I'm more into 3d modeling but I'm still experimenting with loadaimmesh and animations.

[schignack]

whats is this for a edtor?Not blitz3d i mean the model editor

[amcadam26]

deled

[eugkra34]

does anyone know how to use cotangent in blitz? i read somewhere there is no function for it.

im trying to program "Pool" so i need to find the angle 2 balls collide at using there co-ordinates to do the calculation.

[Up1ifter]

I finished your space invaders game and now I am working on the 3d aspect. I went and dowloaded deled and I put the plugins in but they do not work. also deled is fairly complicated maybe you could a tut on it as well :D thanks for the tuts man very very useful. I know you hear that all th e time, but think of it this way if EVERYONE is saying it it must be true :D

[sasasasa34]

wont load house even with your code...

[joeythegeek1942]

ake sure you are using Blitz 3D and not Blitz Basic

[sasasasa34]

i was using an outdated version of blitz so im all good now :D

[amcadam26]

yeah, I should probably make a quick viedo showing how to keep blitz up to date and basic answers on how and where to store media and stuff like that

[sasasasa34]

That would be great! But make the collisions video first :D!

[runescapeguide46]

can you please make a tutorial on del ed

[kleber1983]

coffe and what?!

[Xjkjk3264X]

Coffee and juice. =|

[TobyTheTissue]

You know what, it took a while, but I just got that!

[TobyTheTissue]

This may be just me, but it's happening on both my desktop and laptop.

Whenever exiting DeleD Lite with my Vista machines, it doesn't exit fully. Task Manager shows DeleD.exe still running taking up 30-40% of my CPU.

Shame, as it looks like a really good program.

[TobyTheTissue]

Andy,

What defines where the mesh, house.b3d is originally positioned in 3D space?

Is it's centre placed at 0,0,0? If so, is the camera also placed at 0,0,0? So when you start the level/map, you are bang in the middle of it?

[amcadam26]

That's right.

[TobyTheTissue]

I don't know how to spell "it's". It was very early.

[GSBvideos]

good one again amcadam maybe u can do a basic 3D tutorials for begginers like me :D

a learn all 2D stuffs with ya.

cya

[TobyTheTissue]

Gold. Pure gold.

Keep 'em coming, these are invaluable to us.

[asib12]

FPS is a good idea... Maybe a Beat 'em Up, but that's probably harder. Also, an interesting thing to do in a shooter for instance would be to teach people how to do 3rd person cams.

[amcadam26]

I've had people suggest both an FPS and an third person RPG. So I'm thinking of a simple hellgate london type game. Not multiplayer or anything fancy, but enough to show something playable.

[loveablemoggy]

Thankyou very much for your tutorial series. It's all so very helpful.

[utohaha]

Good tuts keep up the good work

[roanmy]

Hey Thanks man... great tut...

btw , how can i get this code?

Thanks
