BG Cliff Construction Kit discussion

#161 Hi, when we will get the 1.8.1 version? I would like to use it :)

#162 I've got word from Derek just a few days ago, that he's doing his best to get the Kit into the store before GDC.

I know that everyone at GG is really busy right now because of the preparations for the show. At this point, all I can say is.. hopefully, just a few more days.

#163 @ Everyone: I've been provided a backstage pass for an early release of this new version and it looks totally kick ass. The overall package has been polished to a point it looks totally amazing, and looks even cleaner then on 1.7 release. Overall I would have to say this is a must buy pack if you don't already have the kit, get it, now. Do not wait. This has to be one of the best looking packages I've seen in a long time and one of the easiest to install, setup and get into fast... how easy is it? Just drag a few folders over, compile with one new folder to the engine and bam, your up and running within 15 minutes.

Overall, on a rating system of a 1-10, I give the package a 10+. Its worth it's weight in gold. Check it out if you get a chance... thanks for reading.

#164 Hey Will,

Thanks a lot for the kind words, and more importantly I'd really like to thank you for helping me testing the new version along with Ron Nelson and the BrokeAss Games guys.

Thanks again!

#165 Your welcome and thanks for such a great addition. I am curious though if anyone has made PhysX work with this yet?

#166 I'm not sure, but if anyone wants to do that, well, these cliffs are derived from statics, so I'm thinking that making statics work with physics should make the cliffs work too.

#167 Wll I suppose that will also have to do with getting PhysX and Polysoup to work together. I have been doing some work with it but using my work with replicators like your is not working well.

I am sorry if this seems like I am hijacking your thread but to be honest I just want to get PhysX to work with your kit.

Here is my thread to avoid others spamming yours Konrad.

#168 Thanks Ron,

I hope you find a solution. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with Physx. However, you might want to remember that there's a bug in polysoup that might affect your tests later on.

Good luck!

BG Cliff Construction Kit for Torque 3D Pro coming soon

I'd like to inform you, that the Cliff Construction Kit is going to be available for Torque 3D Pro soon after the beta comes out in April.

So, in case you were wondering whether this pack is being supported in Torque 3D - absolutely!

It will be available through the GarageGames store along with the TGEA 1.7.1 and TGEA 1.8.1 versions.

For current licensees, the new version will be a free upgrade.

For future customers, there will be a small price increase to the Kit after it gets into the GG store, but the exact amount is not yet decided upon. The new price will be very close to $40. This is to make the price better reflect the amount of work I'm putting into this Kit.

I also got word that the Kit is going to appear in the store very soon after GDC is over, but don't start holding your breath just yet! :)

#170 Knowing that you will support this for T3DPro, I am definitely in.
$40 or $30...I think you will get more money for yourself if I buy it from Bitgap..so I will buy it from there, today. $31.30 @ today's exchange rate to be exact.

Thanks for this pack Sir. Kiss! ..I find it very interesting.

//edit
Where do I get the latest version ? ..the download was v101.

#171 Thank you for your purchase, Sir E.B. :)
I sent you the download link to the 1.1 update.

#172

Quote:you have to install the pack into the default TGEA directory C:\Torque\TGEA_1_7_1 and patch it from there, then compile.

Thanks Will, I thought I was going crazy. I never install anything to the default location.

#173 The new version that we're waiting on to appear in the store will be a lot easier to install, since I could include complete files that are changed by the Kit.

#174 sure, np..just wanted to say thanks for that info as I thought I was really going crazy. ;)

Great Stuff Konrad.

Random babble:
I was hoping to add x/y texture projection(like this) to terrains but I no longer need such a thing due to this pack and the accumulation feature. Thank you for saving me plenty of stress! ;)

Edit: I will stop hording your thread now.

#175 Hi, when we will get the 1.8.1 version? I would like to use it :)

#176 when we will get the 1.8.1 version? :S

#177 I have nothing new to tell you unfortunately. Please be a bit more patient. Considering that its a free update, I hope you don't mind the wait. I'd like it to be in the store as soon as possible, but there are many things that must precede that. To top things, GDC was held not long ago.

Also, since this is my first item in the store, there is some paperwork that is required for the IRS in the US. Since I'm not a US citizen, this is not a simple task. Things are definitely taking a lot more time than I or GG for that matter first anticipated.

I rather not say a date anymore. When it's out, I'll let you know through this thread. Note that it might be a few days or a month from now - I have no idea.

#178 @Konrad: Awesome pack. I just bought it from BitGap via SWReg ... I am really impressed with the clear instructions and the ease of integration into an existing modified code base. :)

It is now up and running in Soul Wars.

#179 How does the IRS have any grip on a european software developer ?
(Seems like the international bankers running the US want to run the world)

P.S. I would continue to sell it on your own...more $ for you.

#180 Konrad - will existing customers who have bought via bitgap have the download added to their GG product list when it gets added to the GG store?
