Crane Simulator in OGRE 3D

[seasidekai]

Yeyyy!!! Just what I was looking for, a game of a fucking Crane!

[superkellerman8D]

Just a quick question, do you use the BaseApplication framework, or did you write your own?

[sam4san]

@superkellerman8D Hey; it was a framework written by one of the old user; spacegeir or something.. look him up

can you please reupload the source (dead link)

[nukec]

at which university did you graduate?

[sam4san]

@nukec SJCE Mysore India.. sjce.ac.in

[sam4san]

@hornetpalooza It was my final year project. Check description, I have uploaded full source

[superkellerman8D]

Awesome to see someone actually doing something with ogre. I just finally got it to run successfully on my computer, so I am happy now.

[HealyPerson]

cool, I wish I had cool skillz

[cat700]

and...stuff at my school and i wanted to make a small game but i can't evan fighure out how to use Blender :( is there some where tha can teach you how to use theses things?

[cat700]

..hey i don't have the learning tools to make a game at my disposal but there a small game out there called impressive title-now it's gone due to pll hacking...so i never realy played it- and now its predicesor FeralHeart is comeing out...taking for ever but its comeing-i think ther team may have hit some codeing issuse's- and they say they used Oger but as i said i don't have tools for learing how to code

[Jianju69]

Well done! I'm trying to get started learning C++ & Ogre too. Can't even get my environment variable set under Win7U..

[DarkStare100]

hey im just wondering, is ogre a good engine for making a proper game? like a large rpg with online capabilty like WoW or RuneScape?

[sam4san]

@DarkStare100 I would say what other resources you have at your disposal. Ogre has been used for many commercial games. You can check for liquidrock games who have been developing a racing game which involves multiple player. But they themselves developed the modules tat were necessary. Someone funding you??

[Jesus45U]

@DarkStare100 I think that the Zombie Driver games is based off of Ogre 3D.

[ugobarney]

@DarkStare100

ROBLOX

An example

[ManicMentality]

@DarkStare100 Ogre is merely a graphics engine. A fantastic one at that. All it will do is render the data that you tell it to. As for networking, you'll either need another library or another engine entirely. This ain't no Game Maker. It's a C++ Object Oriented Graphics Rendering Engine (OGRE).

[slayergoury]

u r fukken slowpoke

[FangKibaWolf]

I have no idea what C+++, im kinda clueless here lol

[sam4san]

@FangKibaWolf - then before you begin with Ogre, I suggest get the idea of OOPS and C++, later you can come back to Ogre

[covenant123dx]

@FangKibaWolf its a type of programming software.

[FangKibaWolf]

I have a few questions Sam, can you tell me how you made a game with Ogre?

Im trying to make a game with Ogre but i got lost on the website in 5 seconds O.o Also what type of Program does Ogre use?

[sam4san]

@FangKibaWolf - you mean ogre's website??? YOU HAVE to read all the basic tutorials word by word before you do anything!! If you skip even one para, you will be wondering where you are going wrong! Trust me I've wasted a lot of time. So start from scratch with the Ogre wiki tutorials, and you should be fine. By the way, do you know C++?

[MarchuxProductions]

u know, there is a better game on OGRE. its caleed Rigs of Rods

[mody1710]

just a question =] did you learn opengl / directx before ogre? if not , what other game engines did you learn before it?

[sam4san]

@mody1710 nope.. dint learn opengl nor directx.. I had not learnt any other.. directly started with ogre.. I had tried reading 3d game maker pro.. but din't like it much.. read the "pro ogre book" that is suggested by ogre themselves

[chidragon60]

the movements are too choppy..

[aam44Nose]

thats not a crane thou

[sam4san]

@aam44Nose yeah.. its called a digger here.. but wanted to give the project a familiar name..

[markistc]

Fraps is a bitch and sucks dick!

[scratchyrice]

@markistc Thats not fraps lol, And fraps works fine ive been using it for years.

[doctorboskonovic]

hi sam4sam nice job :), i'm an ogre beginner ,i downoloaded ur source but i couldn't compile it, i'm using vs 2005, and it just tells me fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'OISEvents.h': No such file or ! i'd be greatful if u could help me, i have one more in which part of the source are u controling the entity movement?

[sam4san]

Hi, thank u :).. First thing is use VS 2008, cos I used it.. and i feel there is quite a lot of differences between the two.. and if that doesn solve the problem lemme know.. The entity controlling part is very rudimentary and u can find it in Crane.cpp and the funciton Crane::moveCrane();

[doctorboskonovic]

thx 4 answering so quickly, i installed the ogre sdk and linked with (OgreMain_d.lib

CEGUIBase_d.lib

OgreGUIRenderer_d.lib

OIS_d.lib) int the debug , nd of course without _d in the release box, i guess it's a matter of link or include files i just don't know what to link or what include files to add( i'm condused) :(

i'm following the ogre tutorials , i just wanna move a robot using (up, down left and right ) keys in the first begining ,

that'll be great if u could give me some tricks

thx :)

[sam4san]

yeah.. all _d are for debug version of dll's. Its very common to skip thru the beginning lessons just because of the sheer excitement.. its very common. But trust me, take all the time to go through the first beginner tutorials, if you get a hang of that, rest is just a piece of cake. I made mistake of skipping thru content but when I started facing problems, most of them were already covered in Beginner tutorials, and Ogre forum is a great place too..

[doctorboskonovic]

thx :) i

& gr8 job once again

[scratchyrice]

@doctorboskonovic You need to download the ogre dependency package.

[VideoClubMuenchen]

Nicht schlecht ! Wir im Club haben einen eigenen Kran für Video ! Macht auch Spass ! Siehe unser hochgeladenes Video. search:: Astro Kran.

[sam4san]

ah... thanks

[stylefighterdks]

wow i wish i had developed these skills to produce art like this, great!!!

[sam4san]

Are you in your 80s?? start doin now,.. it only takes a few weeks

[janeck123]

how much ram that game needs?

[sam4san]

@janeck123

nothing much.. anything above 256 mb should be just fine

[TheGolden2244]

boring game

[sam4san]

Simulators are always boring..

[Estileese]

how many megabytes is it?

[sam4san]

The source or the binary?? binary is around 19 mb.,,. download it from the link on right side

[DROCKERDGREAT]

wHAT fILES DOES IT RUN?

[sam4san]

I dint get u by what files it runs ? Its a closed simulator..

[kamilm122]

Nice :D... I'm using OGRE too but i'm beginner... use physics to riding it and keep writing more levels and adds :D

[sam4san]

thanks kamilm :)

[Tehniqq]

I have been modeling in 3ds max for some time now and i want to make something fun with my models. I was thinking of a game where you control an airship. Some of the airships i will use have some guns on them. I was wondering if you can explain (or link some info) on how do i make those guns point at and follow a moving target. Thanks in advance:)

[sam4san]

I'd seriously recommend you to go through the tutorials given in ogre wiki. It is damn boring until you finish them. But I'm sure by the time you complete tuts, you'd have figured out the way. To answer your question is tough right now, as I too happen to be learning it still..

[DzikiDziurkacz]

0:42 touchpad? ;)

[sam4san]

@DzikiDziurkacz

hehe.. yeah.. nice observation

[1994DavidLotro]

any way to make the graphics world of warcraft quality?

[sam4san]

In ogre? I'd say yes.. but for me it was difficult to get the 'level' into the code.. I did my modelling in 3dsmax and used ogremax to import it into program. Still unclear on how to load levels efficiently without ruining it into the code..

[1994DavidLotro]

hmm, why didn't you use a more well known program then?

[sam4san]

for modelling or importing ? ogremax is quite well known.. This was done an  year back, i should update myself again..

[1994DavidLotro]

um i'm not too good at this, modelling is to make objects right?

[emwav333]

Yes, you model objects and then use these objects in your game.

[DonCorleonich]

1.) You will make more vehicles for this game?

2.) Add sounds?:)

3.) And which perspectives of your project?:)

ALSO,please check my videos from Rigs of Rods (cranes) i think it will be interesting for you.:)

[sam4san]

1) I'm planning to, but not sure, cos my demo is already done,and i've become bit lazy bout this :)

2) sounds to video or game ??;) i tried adding to the game, i'm getting some runtime error, i still have to get across it

3)perspective ? clarify yourself!

will watch your video now :)

[DonCorleonich]

Yes,maybe you want made no freeware or something like this.:)

[sam4san]

I've already given the source in the link.. just download it and have a look at it

[seasmysam]

so start working on it because im a good thinker about games it will be good trust me

[sam4san]

i hope so buddy

[RobertHine]

absolutely brilliant :) I was wondering how you got on with that a few days ago, looks like you really stepped up to the challenge and did an incredible job mate :) well done

[sam4san]

Absolutely ! The deadline had set my azz on fire.. so I had to finish it ASAP. I just learnt what was required and finished it off.. there is stil lot of bugs in it, which I am sure won't be visible to the evaluator :)

[RobertHine]

I hope you get a great grade on it mate, its an awesome achivement :)
