IPS v1.0 and T3D Magazine

by Lukas Joergensen · 07/27/2013 (2:55 pm) · 8 comments

IPS is now at v1.0

Which means the sale will end, the price will jump to 49$ and you will get another bugfix/feature patch.

Whats new?

  • Added the CompositeEmitter.
  • Fixed a bug in ParticleEmitterNode unpackData, where it read an extra bit.
  • Made the particleBHV array use simobjectptr to prevent corruption.
  • Fixed a bug where ParticleEmitter unpackUpdate didn't read the ParticleBehaviour bits.
  • Increased amount of bits for ejectionPeriodMS and periodVarianceMS to allow for larger numbers.
  • Increased amount of bits for AttractionBehaviour's attractionRange and attractionAmount to allow for larger numbers.
  • Cleaned up in Grounded fields (multiple definitions).

  • Whats the CompositeEmitter?

    The CompositeEmitter is an emitter that simply creates 2 new emitters and makes those two emit particles.
    The CompositeEmitter is intended for Projectiles etc, so even tho it only holds a single emitter you can add more. It's very barebones atm, more features may be added later.

    T3D Magazine

    I'm currently working on a T3D Magazine (not directly associated with WLE, it's my own project atm).
    The 1st edition will be completely free without any ads or anything similar. After the 1st edition I will look on ways of making some income on the magazine to be able to hire someone to maintain it when I don't have enough time on my hands. Possible by selling ad spaces in the magazine.

    I've been writing around to a couple of people to get permission to write about the stuff they are working on. Currently I just need an answer from 2 guys and then I can work on writing articles and designing the magazine. So I should be able to reveal more within a month!
    I can say tho that it will be 100% T3D oriented and will contain articles about new T3D tech, and art packs.

    I will be happy to take suggestions for this T3D Magazine! Write some suggestions in the comment section below.

    Also a shout-out to Dan Webb for offering to help with some of the design for the T3D Magazine. Thanks mate!

    Lukas, are you planning to have some kind of developer classifieds in this mag of yours? Just wondering. Oh, and it'll be my pleasure to do this. I've always wanted to see a paisley magazine cover! :D

    Great to see some interest!
    @Dan Not currently but it is definetly something I will look into! Just don't know who I could contact about that :P
    (With developer classifieds you mean WIP stuff that hasn't been official yet right?)
