Sorry for asking 3d model in .obj format again and again , because I'm learning Blender and wish to export it and just straight away export it into .obj format . I'll try export it in MD2 format . Questions : -How to make a Luminescent Spherical Bullet ? (Mostly on luminescence ..) Can you post a simple example to make a luminescent stuff ? -Thanks- woooow!!, luminesence lol, that doesent seem like the easiest thing to do, ive never tryed to make it(by programming), but ive used it in a 3D modeler |

Why? What do you need it for? Oh and is fairly complex, not worth the speed decrease youll get from implementing it in basic4gl

yea luminence what have to be done in C/C++, basic4gl just couldnt handle that in a game  |

Do you actually have any proof of that or are you just repeating what dj said?

Ok . Now , I'm modifying "ZACK8686 3D AREA 0.20" into a multiplayer online area . Not a game yet , just a place where many users can chat at the same time .
Question :
- How to send numbers like "11.2344" using "SendMessage(..) " via internet (send players info) ?
-Thanks-

If you read the Network Engine Guide it tells you everything you need to know. Apparently when sending data you use the file writing commands, so I suppose you could use WriteFloat or WriteDouble to send your number. |

i thought the network engine was done pretty well for basic4gl and very simple, it should be easy to learn, |

I've tried using WriteFloat and WriteDouble . For the WriteFloat , the other end just receive some sort like " 0.34 - e " and that can't be used to get position of users . And WriteDouble , the other end can't receive and read any message . I've tried using WriteString , but I used ReadText(file,skipEOL) at the other end and getting not the wanted values ....
Finally I just have to used WriteLine and ReadLine to get only floats ,"11,23454" . This just slowed down the whole thing .

Yeah, the reason why you're getting numbers with an e at the end is because Basic4GL (like most programming languages) is using Scientific notation to represent the number. |

I saw your Problem about text size about 3 pages ago and I came up with this pice of code:
ResizeText(WindowWidth()/16,WindowHeight()/16)
No matter what your screen resoloution is it will always Make thie text 16*16px. if you change 16 to your desierd size it will still work.

Where can I get some example source code of making application coded in C++ , such as Messenger , Game , Data Storage , and so forth .... ?
I'm making an Online game using Basic4gl recently , but don't really sure how much player can a server support (considering Basic4gl speed) ?
Can tilemap sprite made into collision detection using the concept of collision of two sprite ?
And how ?
It's estimated my online game will be released for test about 2 weeks time ... Hope I'll get it finished in time .

If you're interested in making games in C++, you should check out the Lazy Foo site. A lot of source code for serious applications in C++ can be found here at the CodeProject site. As for the speed of the Basic4GL server, you should just try & experiment & see how much it can deal with before slowing down. There are examples of tilemap collision on the forum, they shouldn't be that difficult to find. |

Oh , I've changed my mind in making 2d tilemaps but using 3d tilemaps(GL) , like Ragnarok Online .
Maybe taking more time , still hoping to post some pics and release test version soon ...
Thanks Matthew . It's seem that quite hard to find those C++ coded application . I'll post some useful Basic4gl codes from my project later .
Hope that everyone can share useful C++ (e.g. : decoder source code , DLL , application , game , video & audio making source code , ....) , Opengl web links here .
Is there any free Microsoft Visual C++ or Visual Studio , Adobe Product ?
