Next Release: Feedback

#1 1. Provide a button to align a path node to the terrain.
An artist in my studio found it's difficult to create path for a player, because it's hard to tell whether the path node is right on the terrain.
I add gServerContainer.castRay() in VPathEditor::getPointOnPath to place newly created on the terrain.

2. Allow to create node other than between path nodes.
In most situations, artists may wish to create new node not between previous nodes. For example, when we plan to create a path with topology A-->B-->C-->D-->E, the original method is
1. A-------------->E
2. A-->B---------->E
3. A-->B-->C------>E
4. A-->B-->C-->D-->E
However, the more intuitive way especially for complex path is to allow
1. A-->B
2. A-->B-->C
3. A-->B-->C-->D
4. A-->B-->C-->D-->E

#2 A visible look point (if one exists) when selecting a node.

And perhaps a manual/min&max turn speed when using interpolation between nodes.

#3 to help new users, maybe a few examples with documents explaining how they work, not many but a few would do the trick :)

#4 When is the release of The Verve for T3D Beta3 to know?
can i ?? :D

#5 Hey Song, check out my response to Julian in another thread: link

#6 Will there be any chance that Torque 3D binary having support in the next update?(fingers cross on a yes) If so I will be picking me a copy up.

#7 Hey guys, I've got a build of Verve for T3D 1.1b3 nearly ready. How do you think I should distribute it? Since IA isn't functioning correctly, I am unable to upload it to the TP site.

I could offer a download link here for everyone, but its a public forum and it'd be inviting unlicensed users to take advantage of the situation.

Thoughts?

Ps: To anyone interested in purchasing Verve: Since the TP store is offline there is no alternate way for me to legally distribute Verve (or any of my other products). Sorry guys :(

#8 Phillip, perhaps a differential patch would work if you don't have (too many) new files. But - as much as I'd like to see a new version - I don't think it would be good for anyone if you offered a full download. Instead, I think you should just wait a bit longer.

A full download would damage your future sales when Torque gets back up. As long as this earns you money, I know we'll have updates, so it makes sense that your financial success is in our best interest. :)

Additionally, would the TP site go missing one unlucky day, you'd still have your - also public - website to fall back to with any other plans you might have, which all your customers know of.

#9 the other option is for people who have Verve to send you specific files that you request from the version they have in an email. This way you can verify they have the source. However if they have a bootleg copy then I doubt it would prevent them from getting the updated version either way, it really does depend how they got it in the first place.

#10 you would then also retain their email for future sales

#11 Hey Phillip,

Shoot me the build and I will upload it to the site.

#12 Hey Derek - you're a star! :)

#13 I can also host builds at my sites hngamers.com and will dedicate sections to things like this. I would of course need user information so that I can properly provide the downloads to users. thevisad ( at ) gmail ( dot ) com

#14 Thanks Sean, but Derek just uploaded the build to the site.

You can all download it from your accounts here. Let me know if you have any problems.

I'll try to throw up a blog about the release soon. Thanks guys!

#15 nice work Phillip - much appreciated.

#16 great thanks Phillip.
