| I'm going to have a look at this. Maybe, just maybe, I'll finally be able to get my head round this 3D lark and not have to feel like a total dumb-head! Cheers |
| ||
| Hey, these are pretty good! |
| ||
| is it me or is the last page not finished? btw EXCELLENT tutorial! |
| ||
| Cool man! I'm just starting to use Blitz3D again afther a few years, and this tutorial is really helpfull to me! Keep up the good work!!! |
| ||
| is it me or is the last page not finished? This has now been corrected. Please download again for the finished version. |
| ||
| helped me a lot thank you |
| ||
| Yes indeed welldone mate :) Cheers and all the best, Mikey F |
| ||
| as a newbie to 3d programming i thought the two simonh tutorials were excellent - though i didn't finish them as i wanted to start my own program (but they are great for reference) |
| ||
| i like the first 2 but for some reason it won't let me run all of the others |
| ||
| Rubiks14, What error messages does it give? |
| ||
| it says "entity does not exist" and highlights this EntityTexture nacar,nacar_tex and also i get the "to many parematers" and it hightlights this EntityRadius camera_pivot,1.5,1 |
| ||
| pearlank.b3d and woodenfence.b3d are in the 3d_tuts_source-media.zip file. I'm guessing the entityradius error is in battleground4. The same command is OK on my system. Which level of B3D are you using? |
| ||
| No, lots of people get the EntityRadius error. It's because earlier versions of Blitz only support one paremeter on EntityRadius. You need to update. |
| ||
| i'm using version 1.64 |
| ||
| Can you convert your Tuts to HTML so I can see the pics :( |
| ||
| Im with FBEpyon, not everyone uses Word but everyone has Internet Explorer or a derivative :) |
| ||
| This helps me so much! I'm so happy now! Thanks!!! |
| ||
| It's because of the global values. Just look at the source code xample and compare it to the tutorial file. |
| ||
| I'm having the same problem with the "entity does not exist" error. I get the same problem when i try running the example source code. It first cropped up with loading the textures for the 'carpet' but i got around it by commenting that out. But with 'nacar' it doesn't load at all. Any suggestions? I'm using Blitz3d 1.64 |
| ||
| You should really be updating B3D to the latest level. I believe there were some commands which needed 1.85 (but can't be sure) plus others when BC.com was around had same problems on 1.64 and the demo level. |
| ||
| Ah my bad sorry. Only got it today so just asumed...all up to date now and its working, thanks for the help |
| ||
| Cool! Thanks! |
| ||
| Links are dead =( anyone got the files somewhere? |
| ||
| Links are working here. |
| ||
| I just bought Blitz 3D and I followed your first tutorial. When I click run, it highlights "Global PLAYER = 2" and says "Duplicate variable name" HELP! |
| ||
| Sorry, please ignore my last post. I fixed it and now it runs, but all it shows is a big patch of the sky, nothing else. when I press the arrows, nothing happens! PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP! |
| ||
| Jeepster, You might want to check and run a file called Battle1.bb which should be included with the tutorial. If that file runs ok, you can check it against your code to find what is different. Cheers! |
| ||
| Would someone be kind enough to transfer these to PDF or plain text format? Thank you! |
| ||
| I'll convert them to pdf later tonite since I see no one has stepped up here. 8) |
| ||
| While I correct my pdf printer you maybe interested in this word viewer: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&familyid=95E24C87-8732-48D5-8689-AB826E7B8FDF |
| ||
| I can email the pdf's if you wish ? |
| ||
| OpenOffice is a free suite very similar to Microsoft Office...plus it has the capability of converting a word document into pdf... Here is the url: http://download.openoffice.org/2.1.0/index.html |
| ||
| Thanks Si, I have just managed to render a model I designed in Wings3D, Do a bit of texturing in UU3D and then display it thanks to your well structured Battle2 instruction. *grins* |
| ||
| Rubiks14, it said that to me, and it was because the program wasn't saved in the folder with the source. That would be an elementary reason, but check. |

Considering he posted that over 2 years ago, I think it's unlikely he's been trying to fix it ever since. In fact, he doesn't even appear to have been active on the forum for over a year. |
| ||
| This is neat |
| ||
| Very cool, thanks |
