You see, a little more than an hour and already first code propositions

[destruk]

So no code proposition from Freezy? I don't think the code should be released until a working example is ready. You're making really good progress so far.

[louizou]

brian, you have gandhi's wisdom , as usual

About your example =>of course it would work

I don't know if you noticed the return statement at the end of the second "if" of the kickin void .

is it unnecessary ?

i thougt the exit sub statement in the original code was here to stop the function if mballin was less or equal to 0

[settingsons]

In the early stages of coding a project like this things are constantly changing and code has to be chopped and changed frequently. I would imagine having to manage other people changes as well would quite frankly be a hindrance more than a help. It's Louizou's baby, let him nurture it

[freezy]

First of all, I would run a code formatter over it, but that's just me. But you're probably right, before losing time by explaining to everyone what's working and what not, maybe a first private phase is adequate.

[destruk]

The return is needed, yes.... my mistake not including it. Freezy, all anyone can do is offer to help - I'm sure Louizou appreciates the offer ( although I don't speak for him... ). See how unbalancing that is?

thanks settingsons ! I nurture it but with the help of LVRand destruk's nipple (sorry brian , this is kind of french humour)

Of course i appreciate any help , moral support , nude babe posters , fresh donuts, etc

Ok, so , i'm gonna modify the void , but tomorrow, sorry , tonight there is OM - bayern (soccer, i can't miss this one)

Before upping a video showing the behaviour , i must fait for francisco666's agreement to use , show and mod it's table.

once more thanks a lot, and have a nice end of day , guys

I was just checking out some physics demos from Unity3d and this holds a lot of promise. Some of them were very impressive, such as the car on the bus and the "indirect explosion" test.

I can't wait to try out a table demo next time it's released

[TheMcD]

Well, so much for Marseille's chances in the CL. Lord knows I didn't need more reasons to hate Bayern.

Neat to see that progress hasn't slowed - this is quite the revolutionary project, and it would be a shame if it didn't pan out.

[louizou]

Our french soccer teams are really a shame !!
i'm shocked !! when you know their bills !! damn !! i'm shocked again

ok , let's go back to pinball now !!

as i'm a little borred with the timing problem ,and waiting for francisco's answer ,
i'm gonna change my mind today and start handling the flippers !!

@superballs : i told you unity physics is a pure beauty .
I've tested lots of engines and i've never seen something so solid and easy to use.
Definitely an atomic bomb !! (as we say in france)

[louizou]

Smells like flip spirit !!





Thanks a lot to francisco666 to give me the permission to use/ mod his BK2K table.

When flippers are fully fonctional (hope 1 or 2 days) , i'll release a new video

Sweet work !

Viva Le france !

[louizou]

thanks a lot n'jamont !!

and most of all ....

Viva pinball fans !!

louizou - I know you are working on being able to use FP as the editor and then import tables. Have you thought about making this into it's own editor/scripting engine instead of having to reply on another outdated application?

I think louizou said it was quite a lot of dev work to program an editor with all the objects, etc. so he will initially concentrate on getting 'play' engine developed (the exciting bit ). Then once that is perfected he might consider doing an editor at a later date.

hi dazz, you're not the only one wishing this , but as explains pretty well settingson , the gaming part is half of the full job and the editor is the rest .

For the scripting part , it's totally new so i'll make no comments.

FP has it's defaults but have some pros we must not avoid !! such as model handling , sphere mapping , crystal ,etc ...

I've asked LVR to handle this part with his marvelous API but had no answer .

If you want a pure pinball editor , make a wish list , a list of pros and cons of FP and ask someone (why not him) to do this .

I can try to do it, but it will be the day after the gaming part is finished , all tables working and totally bug free .(it's not for tomorrow)

sorry....

Put this in perspective for a second - this new engine of sorts is making stupendous progress, and yet, it's been MONTHS and we're only now getting into actually having the flippers work. This will take a LONG time to perfect, and using FP as sort of an auxilliary program to create tables probably shaves a year off of the project that would otherwise delay the release and delay a table database being built up for this new engine. By using FP as a jump-off point, we get already created tables to work off of and an established editor people are comfortable with with new physics and VPinMAME support. It's the best of both worlds and it's faster to boot.

Salut,

je suis aussi un grand fan si tu a besoin d'aide je suis développeur et je suis en inter contrat en ce moment donc pas de probleme. en plus ca me fera du bien de faire autre chose que de la prog sur des reseaux telecoms

Donc n'hesite pas j'ai tres envie de m'investir dans un projet sympa ..

He was saying that he's a big fan, and if Louizou needs help he would be willing to as he's between contracts, he's a developper and it would do him some good to work on something that isn't a telcom. More or less
