Dependency problem with Smaller Type Check

Fri, 21 Oct 2022 18:19:38 +0000

This one is just a bit of an inconvenience.

I am using an external DLL in my application. It has /RTCc disabled (C++ -> Code Generation -> Smaller Type Check set to 'no').

Esenthel has /RTCc enabled in debug mode. So I can only run in Release mode. I can go to debug mode in VS, but i have to edit the project properties before I can run it, every time I open VS.

And specifying a debug version of that DLL in debug mode is not possible in the editor.

Is there any way to change this behaviour?

Thanks,
yvan

[SOLVED] Str class -> help needed... (encryption)

Wed, 25 Aug 2021 01:59:32 +0000

Hey there.

How can I realize this function with Esenthels Str class?
(without the std stuff)

Code:

string encryptDecrypt(string toEncrypt) {

    char key = 'K'; 

    string output = toEncrypt;

    for (int i = 0; i < toEncrypt.size(); i++)

        output[i] = toEncrypt[i] ^ key;

    return output;

}

Any ideas? Tried for quite a while now, can't get it working.

(I just would like to lightly encrypt .dat files with savegame data so that
it isn't too easy for basically anyone to view/edit them.)

Thanks,
tL.

Migrate from EE1.0

Fri, 10 Jan 2020 20:33:12 +0000

Hello,

After a long time I felt I want to play with Esenthel and migrate old project created on old Esenthel 1.0 to the latest Esenthel version. I was able to adapt the code to the new API but then I faced problem with World.

Is there any possibility to migrate/import old World to the latest EE?

Objects aligning to heightmap

Sun, 28 Jul 2019 09:54:04 +0000

I have some objects that are Game.Static (OBJ_STATIC). However, when I modify the terrain, these objects move along the Y-axis.

How do I disable this behaviour again? :x

How to restore a broken material

Tue, 19 Mar 2019 08:21:08 +0000

I have several models that share the same material, but they each have the same material assigned as a child object. I wanted to be smart and copy the unique materials to a "Materials" folder and just use them from there (to only have them once).
However, this broke the visuals of my models. It's suddenly as if the UV changed.
I guess I have two questions now:

1. Why does this happen?
2. I can't undo this problem.... How do I fix this? I can't easily get the source assets.

Waypoints Line Smooth not saved

Thu, 29 Dec 2016 14:16:04 +0000

How can i update it? (or Do you have a plan to renew?)

How does "reloadElm();" works?

Thu, 26 May 2016 10:17:18 +0000

i cannot understand that "EditorInterface.reloadElm();" works.

"reloadElm();" requests reload a file from "src_file" and always returns TRUE.
then, in case of "Edit.ELM_FILE", these codes are generally same?

* Code A:

Code:

Bool  b;

b = EI.reloadElms(elms[i].id);

* Code B:

Code:

Bool  b;

File file;

Str filePath;

filePath = elms[i].src_file;

file.read(filePath, EE_PROJECT_CIPHER);

b = EI.setFile( elms[i].id, file );

and why returns always TRUE?
(whether "src_file" is present or not)

How to merge project?

Wed, 25 May 2016 02:00:21 +0000

There are two projects. Original is same.
One is general developing. and another is experimentally project.

Code and resource files can merge by SVN.
then, How can care "Data" file?

deviated collusion mesh.

Tue, 03 May 2016 05:39:14 +0000

We had found a bug.

In world editor:
When Objects located nearly of the origin.
Select all objects and move it.
it deviated green collusion mesh (confirmed by "World Path Mesh"), sometimes.

Do you know something about it?
And, I want to know how to avoid this bug.

Object position dialog.

Tue, 03 May 2016 05:17:49 +0000

At object position dialog (screen-shot attached).
When it opened, but losing focus (cursor not on the dialog), it cannot enter a value.
its inconvenient.

Always want to enter a value. Can EE do so?

ELM_WORLD relational data.

Fri, 22 Apr 2016 06:53:31 +0000

I think, ELM_WORLD has some (sub) elements.
For example. "Object", "Waypoint" and so on.

i want to know how to get these UIDs.
What method can i use?

How to delete unused files.

Tue, 12 Apr 2016 03:13:40 +0000

I want to know how to find unused files (located under "Game/", "Edit/"),
and delete it (with EE program).

I think, such file has no UIDs. If so, which method can get UID from each files? (or please tell me correct way in this situation)
and how to delete the file from filesystem?

Addiotion.
"unused" is the file that not shown at EE Editor.

Reload resoruce.

Mon, 04 Apr 2016 02:49:52 +0000

i'm makking resource managing tool on EE program.
i need reload resource function (like right-click menu on EE tree-view).

My purpose is change resource's source-file and replace entity data, each or all.
But on EE editor, only a file can changed at a time.

Which method should i use?

Resource trouble?

Thu, 31 Mar 2016 09:43:51 +0000

In our project, We have some resource trouble.
Same "src_file", but different UID/file_id given.

example.

weapon/aaa/sword UID(xxx, xxx, xxx. xxx) (a)
weapon/aaa/sword UID(yyy, yyy, yyy, yyy) (b)

Drawing with (a) will fail.
Drawing with (b) will success.
These files appears in EI.getElms(elms) both.
But (a) is not found in EE Editor.

Now, some data including (a)'s UID. So, It occurs runtime crash.
First, i want to remove (a) from our project. How should i do?
And, why do i got this situation?

(EE Windows Edition: Engine build 39, Editor Build 37)

UID to file-path.

Wed, 30 Mar 2016 04:59:34 +0000

In EE editor.
When got project elements (codes below).

----
Edit.EditorInterface EI;
Memc elms; // list of project elements

....
EI.getElms(elms); // get a list of project elements
----

I want to know how to convert each id(UID) to file path (located at "Game" folder).
"src_file" of "Edit.Elm" is unreliable. The file might be moved already other place.

Publish after removing world areas

Sun, 31 Jan 2016 17:28:51 +0000

Hi,

I got stuck on publishing my project with the message that in the game world area 60,60 does not exist. This does not happen when publishing game data as a pak file, but publishing to work with the uploader gives me this error.

When exploring the project folder, i see that the folder Area does contain the file 60,60, but the highest used in my project world is 59,59.

I started experimenting with a test project, and found this out: when you create a 4x4 game world and publish it, all goes well. When you delete the top 4 areas afterwards, the editor will still try to publish them and stop with an error message.

Restarting the editor does not make any difference.

Regards,

yvan
