News / Away from keyboard for two weeks
« on: July 24, 2015, 09:32:10 pm »
I'll be back on August, 8th. I'll do my best to offer some support during these 2 weeks, but I expect the mobile connection to be bad (again...), so it might be limited.

News / Happy Birthday, jPCT-AE!
« on: March 03, 2015, 08:51:53 pm »
Today is the 5th anniversary of the first public release of jPCT-AE, the Android version of jPCT.
Some (fun) facts:
Here's a little image to illustrate the evolution (from my first test scene on a Samsung Galaxy with Android 1.5 to my current stuff on a Nexus 4 with Android 5.01):
May the next 5 years be as interesting as the last...Happy Birthday!
Some (fun) facts:
- 10 official releases in 5 years
- Combined number of downloads of apps that are using jPCT-AE from Google Play: ~16 million (+-35%)
- Completed projects (that i know of): ~60
- Used by Google, Samsung, Texas Instruments, Intel, BEUMER Group, Autodesk...and maybe you!
- Number of master theses that used jPCT-AE (that i know of): 3
- Number of Android devices used for development: 9

Feedback / Android Studio...
« on: December 10, 2014, 11:25:11 pm »
...now that Android Studio (https://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html) is the new "official" IDE and the Eclipse-Plugin won't be developed any further, i tried to setup my RPG development environment in Android Studio. Here's the short version:
The long version is, that Android Studio is made for Android. It's not really made for developing and running desktop Java applications (and that includes, as sad as it is, libraries that are simple Java libraries and not for Android only). You can create and run Java applications, but it has it's limits. Android Studio forces you to use Gradle and adds an Android plugin to it, which doesn't seem to play well when mixed with normal Java apps.
I managed to setup everything in about 8h of trial and error except that i wasn't able to run the desktop version of the RPG. It compiled fine but when trying to run it, Gradle was suddenly unable to find the required libraries. 8h are enough...so i gave up on it and will continue to use Eclipse for the time being. Apart from that, it eats memory like crazy, is much slower than Eclipse and has various funny UI bugs.
I actually hate it...i think...

News / All your MD2s are belong to us!
« on: November 03, 2014, 08:57:48 pm »
No, actually they don't. But because MD2 is supported by jPCT and jPCT-AE and i still like it for it's simplicity, i decided to upload all Quake2-based md2 files that i have. Please keep in mind that non of this is my work, i offer no support for them and that the licenses that come with each individual model apply.

Changes of the Android version:
As always: Have fun!
Changes of the desktop version:
- Added Lobby's ExtendedPrimitives class to the util-package.
- Changed the parameters of setSourceCoordinates in Overlay to floats.
- Fixed a bug that created a reference to a removed texture when adding a texture with the same name as the removed one.
- Added a check that the Matrix.invertXX(<Matrix>) methods don't take the same instance as "to fill".
- Added the option to define a parent object of a Polyline.
- Added support for applying bloom to parts of the scene only to the BloomGLProcessor.
- Added the option to set a Matrix[] uniform.
- Added a getBounds() method to World.
- Fixed a problem with compiled object that were using environment mapping.
- Fixed getScale() on cloned objects. It now returns the actual value instead of 1.
- Fixed buffering of the transformation matrix for threaded renderers.
- Fixed a problem with the ray-AABB-intersection test.
- Added a getTranslation(<SimpleVector>)-method to Matrix. Added a method to World to clear all Polylines at once.
- Some minor performance tweaks and documentation fixes and enhancements.
