Post by Seven »

I have been working on a game engine for quite some time and am glad to announce that it is moving along quite nicely.

details :

OOP style system with the following layout...
CSApplication - initializes, maintains and destroys all sub systems
CSEngine - encapsulates the Irrlicht graphics engine
CSLevelManager - creates, manages and destroys all levels
levels are fully 3d and interactive
menu system is created using CSLevels allowing fully 3d, animated menu scenes
CSLevel - houses an entire 'level' including all game objects
CSObjectFactory - creates, manages and destroys all game objects
this is a unique system I think. All game objects are housed in dll files.
on command, the factory scans the game object directory, building list of available objects
objects can be created via the getObjectFactory()->createObjectByType("CSO_Terrain"); function
once created, objects are added to the object manager and are interactive with the level
CSObject - a single game object
physics are attached to all game objects
object to object communication
unique variable editing system. variables are stored in list by name. when edited, class functions are called to validate data.
CSPhysics - base class for all physics activity
system scans physics folder and creates list of available physics engines
physics engines can be changed during game play
current preference is PhsyX2.84 (bullet, ode available)

CSEditor - MFC application with 4 views (top, left, front and 3d)
full interactivity with game systems. Create, scale, delete, edit etc.. all game obejcts and level variables.

CSO_Editor - game object that provides in game editing experience. Full blown editor.

It is difficult to explain all of the systems, but they all seem to play well together and I have a few demos created for testing.

anyhow, a few videos (sorry for the crappy video)

// in game editor creating a new level
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcpJnl7U ... e=youtu.be

// diablo style demo using newly created level
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLpqAY9Z ... e=youtu.be

// test level
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf--_Lh8_So

If anyone is interested in helping with this project, please let me know.
I have purchased a significant number of game assets (3d models, sounds, etc...), the application is stable, some game objects are created and a few demos are running. I would be interested in someone helping me create an actual game out of it all.

            CSObject::deserializeAttributes(in, options);
 
            m_SkyboxUp      = in->getAttributeAsString("UP");
            m_SkyboxDown    = in->getAttributeAsString("DOWN");
            m_SkyboxLeft    = in->getAttributeAsString("LEFT");
            m_SkyboxRight   = in->getAttributeAsString("RIGHT");
            m_SkyboxFront   = in->getAttributeAsString("FRONT");
            m_SkyboxBack    = in->getAttributeAsString("BACK");
        }
    };
 
} // end namespace
 

example use

Code: Select all

 
   int id = getObjectFactory()->createObjectByType("CSO_Skybox");
   CSObject* obj = getObjectFactory()->getObjectPointer(id);
   if (obj)
   {
        obj->setVariable(L"SkyboxFront",L"some filename");
        obj->setVariable(L"SkyboxBack",L"some filename");
        obj->setVariable(L"SkyboxLeft",L"some filename");
        obj->setVariable(L"SkyboxUp",L"some filename");
        obj->setVariable(L"SkyboxDown",L"some filename");
   }
 
when setVariable() is called, it finds the right function and passes the params to it. That function is then called and updates accordingly. In this case,
REG_PROPERTY(CSO_Skybox,L"SkyboxUp",&CSO_Skybox::csSetSkyboxUp,&CSO_Skybox::csGetSkyboxUp,L"CS_FILENAME_ASN",L"Load up a nice graphic file");
allows us to set the filename of the up graphic, and it will call csSetSkyboxUp(filename).
which in turn loads the graphic and rebuilds the skybox with it using
virtual void setSkyboxUp(stringc filename) { m_SkyboxUp = filename; createSkybox(); }

the CS_FILENAME_ASN tells the editor what type of variable it is and top open a fileseelct dialog when editing.
it also has some helpful text that is displayed when the variable is selected in the editor, so that the user knows what he is changing.

Hi, Seven!
Is it closed-source project?
Do you need some help with programming?
