Modernization Kit Beta

#221 Debug builds of MK10 require you to remove a function (the one listed above) and then clean up some of the lib includes in the project. For some reason cg libs are listed as required, but it's not...

I'd like to get my hands on that one to :)

#224 Has anyone merged this with the new release of afx yet? I can get it to compile, run and all, but the water just isn't working at all, drl and materials work right though.

(edit) Nevermind, got it.

#225 Ok so last night i managed to successfully compile in vs2005. But...

When i load levels everything is black (every player/terrain/object). I believe the problem is running under windows vista.

Anyone else running the modernization kit on vista ? Ive sent my .exe to other people and it runs fine for them, so i think it must be due to windows vista gimped opengl support.

#226 Can anyone help me with these linking errors? I'm using the latest download of TGE 1.5.1, the latest download of MK, CG 1.5 is installed, I'm using VC++ Express 2005 SP1 and I've added the path to the CG Lib and Header directories to the VC++ Directories section:

#227 @Ian Roach

I'm running the MK on 1.5.1 under Vista without any problems. I have an Nvidia card with 158.18 drivers. My exe was compiled with VC2005 express and the Feb 2007 dxsdk.

#228 @Jason,

What did you do to get it to work? I merged last night with zero errors or warnings, but have the exact same problems you described. Care to share you're solution? =)

#229 Sure Alan,

in client/default.cs you need to add this code:

$pref::Player::zoomSpeed = 0;

//------------------------------------------------------------------
// TGE Modernization Kit
//------------------------------------------------------------------
$pref::DRL::enable = "1";
$pref::DRL::bloomQuality = "3";
$pref::Water::reflectionSize = "1024";
$pref::Water::Refract = "1";
$pref::Material::qualityLevel = "200";

//------------------------------------------------------------------
// TGE Modernization Kit
//------------------------------------------------------------------

// AFX
$pref::Player::corpsesHiddenFromRayCast = false;
...

you can modify the setting, of course. they need to be called in console if you don't put it here. Mine is right before the first block of afx modified code as you can see... This is the local call.

Also copy material.cs from "RELEASE151\example\common\client" and add this code to afx's common\client\canvas.cs

exec("~/ui/defaultProfiles.cs");
   
   //------------------------------------------------------------------
   // TGE Modernization Kit
   //------------------------------------------------------------------
   
   // Everyone needs shaders, yes?
   // Shader stuff
   exec("Shaders/globalParameters.cs");
   exec("./materials.cs");
   exec("~/ui/MKBugReporter.gui");

   //------------------------------------------------------------------
   // TGE Modernization Kit
   //------------------------------------------------------------------

Main.cs needs this code added after initClient(); in the function onStart() this is the global call.

//------------------------------------------------------------------
   // TGE Modernization Kit
   //------------------------------------------------------------------   
   
   exec("./data/init.cs");
   DRL::setGoalIntensity(0.23);
   DRL::setBiasLimits(-0.05, 0);
   DRL::setBloomMultiplier(0.5);
   
   //------------------------------------------------------------------
   // TGE Modernization Kit
   //------------------------------------------------------------------

Lastly copy the Shaders folder into the root afx folder.

For the normals, there is this code in arcane.afx/data/init.cs

//------------------------------------------------------------------
// TGE Modernization Kit
//------------------------------------------------------------------

exec("./interiors/lightingPack/autogenMatList.cs");

//------------------------------------------------------------------
// TGE Modernization Kit
//------------------------------------------------------------------

which you can change for adding your own normals, but i don't think you have to make this call since there isn't even a lightingPack directory that contains an autogenMatlist.cs. I'm still having issue with using my own materials so i'm tweaking code now that i think should work right. None the less that call isn't need really if you just want normals to autogen. I think thats it...

#230 @ Ian Dale, it looks like you're missing a few bits of code or they were copied wrong.

I'd double check dglMatrix.cc or dglMatrix.h for errors.

#231 @Jason,

Thanks! I still have a little weirdness, but I'm just too tired from my regular 9 to 5 to look at it too closely. Appreciate the help a lot. I'll sit down and go through it a bit more carefully tomorrow.

#232 The kit looks awesome, but does anyone have a list of all the additions it makes?

#233 Found out what my problem was. I forgot to include the modernization kit directory in the project. Oops!!

#234 Sure its one of the best Ressources for TGE!

Had someone Tryed to convert this to a TGE/TLK 1.4-Version?

PS: Have tryed to merge this ressource with TGE/TLK 1.4, but it seems to be a lot of work...
The MK-Code is pretty well marked, and its simple to merge it. But unfortunately TLK seems to be heavy modified since 1.4

#235 Could it be possible for some one to write a tutorial on how to install and compile this?

Oh ya what renderer does it use? OpenGL or Direct X.

#236 @Dro It uses Open GL and theres a pretty well documented pdf that covers the install. It really depends on what your using to compile it with and on what platform.

#237 Anyone working on getting this going with 1.5.2? I just finished getting RTSkit into 1.5.2 and this would make a nice addition, I think. I have some free time this weekend if no one has started on it yet...

#238 @ J. Coleman,

Sweet! If you have the RTS kit working in 1.5.2 we need to talk! I am soon to release an update of the RTS Environment Pack and have delayed if because of the hurdle of getting the RTS kit brought up to date and functional.

Regarding getting the MK working with 1.5.2, Jon Jorajuria has, but we have seen some strange lighting if there are any DIFF's in a level.

I am about to go off line and will not be back on for about a week, but email me and lets see if we can get together on the RTS kit.

#239 Hey Guys,

I haven't gotten around to dealing with the 1.5.2 merge yet (I haven't even downloaded 1.5.2). I've been doing more and more stuff interning at GG and all, which means less and less time for the MK and a certain loss of will to work with Torque in my spare time. To be completely honest I haven't looked at the MK in Torque for nearly two weeks.

With luck I'll get the next build out with 1.5.0 and 1.5.2 support in very early June. No guarantees though.

#240 I've merged the Torque 1.5.2 code base with MK (Torque v1.5.1 MK Build 0010) and it runs beautifully, didn't have to correct a single issue for any out there that want to go ahead and try. Also merged with Afx without an issue too, great work on this Alex thanks very much it looks fantastic.
