I would very much like the ability to select the second character and their weapon manually, just as I do for the first character.

Invisible weapons of each type would also be great to have.


A lesser request: For PRACTICE, it would be nice to be able to select CPU actions. My favorite implementation of this functionality is in Soul Calibur 6, where up to two moves can be selected for CPU, along with the time delay between them.]]> 1 PLAYER and PRACTICE, the second character is randomly selected by CPU.

1. Head - dizzy, fall on spine after punch in head.
2. Shoulders - character not make a power punch by hands

Maybe only when "edit selected" is checked? Or maybe just another button inside the "Parts" Subwindow to "locate material" of the selected part or something like that?

find a material of a selected mesh-part more quickly.

I am quite sure a tone-mapper would push this even further.

Some people have suggested pretty heavy lifting stuff like
Realtime GI, SSGI or SSR, Lightmap-baking and similar things
which more likely than not may be pretty heavy on the time-consuming side.

I think a tone-mapper would already go quite a long way.
I think actually only one is needed, maybe just with some simple
adjustment options: ACES Filmic.

There is this:

https://github.com/TheRealMJP/BakingLab/...pping.hlsl

and this:
https://github.com/dmnsgn/glsl-tone-map
https://github.com/armory3d/armory/blob/...nemap.glsl

So probably this can be compiled manually into the engine on a per-user basis.

However, I think a proper color-grading / tone mapping integration
would help a lot to further improve the general look of the engine for everyone
looking at it that doesn't want (or can) compile shaders into the engine.

Same for twitter.
3) Logo would be very good for a medieval RPG game, but not for an engine. Imagine a futuristic space shooter with this logo somewhere in.
4) About the "Clutter free UI". I and billion other folks really enjoy the layout Unity (or Unreal and most other engines). Having a window for stuff in scene, assets in project and inspector/properties brings order and cleanness to the workflow (things are separated by logic). For more space just get second monitor or wide one. Anyway this is highly subjective.
5) No Vulkan or Metal API!!!
6) The editor UI needs some work. For example text inside Buttons is to big, the 3D effects are lame and so on. Simplicity/symmetry and cleanness is the answer here. A good example would be Ue5 Editor and VS Code dark theme.

7) IK is a must be for a modern engine as well advanced destruction.
8) Area light is also a must be.
9) Easy Multithreading and compute shader support is also a must be.

10) Lighting seems very flat and makes terrain and meshes appear Pale in daylight. And I see no strategy for indirect light (GI, Lightmaps for static, probes...).

11) Some stuff in "Tutorials" project is broken with latest Engine " Main.cpp

I know that this has been a thing for the last couple of years, and I would not consider it a bug, but I do think it could look a bit nicer. In the attached screenshot, one can see that the checkboxes for running an application are static and when the App name is a bit longer, the checkbox is over the text. Dragging the sidebar horizontally to the right side does increase the size, but does not move the checkbox to the right acordingly. This would solve the issue of checkbox/text overlapping in the editor.

Additionally, when dragging the window, and this is, again, a real small thing, the bottombar menu gets an unused black square due to the horizontal increase of the sidebar. Perpahs the item in the menu where it now states "Offline" could be horizontally increased so the complete sidebar looks more uniform as well?

In some of the interfaces I created, I overlay a complete imagine over an empty and transparant window to get the desired outcome without too much hassle. However, as an image overlays the window element underneath the completed interface can no longer be moved.

My feature request would thus be: If the WIN_MOVABLE flag is enabled on a window, allow the interface as a whole to be dragged to a different location by holding the mouse key over its other elements as well (e.g an image).]]>

I think the fondation is superbe and its almost there but there is key things that feels unfinished and no matter how i try to go around it i feel there is roadblocks.

The grass system works great, but please can we have a way to handle the "wind" on trees and grass so they dont just shuffle randomly ?
As simple as a vec2 that would handle some kind of control ? Per area would be ideal for a wider usage of it but a global is a good start ?!

For water now, could we have a way to have per material water flow ? Water.update() but have it drawn from material vec2 instead ? That would help tremendously the fact that water dont all flow in the same direction on a map ?

Below are the improvements which would make Code Editor better in my personal opinion:

1. It is hard to click on the beginning of the row for instance when I want to select whole class as I want to move it into separate file. Usually when trying to do that I click on the scroll bar. Please see the screenshot attached.
2. Block editing. Typically IDEs or apps like Notepad++ allows to select and edit block of code when Alt + selection is performed.
3. Screen scroll when selecting line which exceeds visible screen space.
4. Triple-click to select whole line.
5. Ability to switch between different files using tabs.
6. When editing line at the bottom of the screen and autocomplete + functions prompt is shown I can't see the line I'm editing. Please see the second screenshot.
