I finally got it to work. The game of ultimate death to textured rectangles! Whoohoo!
Keep it up.
Geforce2 and I get “hardware mouse cursor not supported” and it does several annoying things as a result.
- you have to alt-tab to get your mouse cursor back in x-windows. Grr.
- once you’ve got your mouse cursor back, the game comlpetely ignores the mouse.
- If you drage the window around, the game kills the mouse cursor again, but now at least it will recognize the existence of the mouse (as per swp’s comment, you have to navigate via highlighting).
Sorry about that. In the next version I will provide a software cursor if the hardware cursor is not support. It will still remove the native cursor, but you will have a visible cursor so that you can press the exit button.
I’ve updated the demo. I’ve replaced my wonderful home made box level with a quake 3 one. So check it out.
Some known issues:[]No collision detection against curved surfaces
[]No collision detection against the transparent floor
[]When walking into the teleporter you will instead sometimes walk on top of the teleport.
[]Filtering on some lightmaps is sometimes turned off
[]AI can’t navigate in q3 level so they are useless.
[]Sometimes dies without reason
It’s now possible to fly by holden down space. This way it’s more difficult to get stuck.
Enjoy!

It also makes everything brighter and leaves it that way.
Another issue (which is not really your fault), but I recently moved away from IE and I now just use Opera. Webstart doesn’t seem to start automatically when it’s not a jnlp file but a php file like yours.

cool, works fine here (xp, radeon 9700, jdk 1.5)
very nice speed, especially compared to the xith demo - though I don’t know if they are comparable ?

Yes, I modify the gamma settings to make things brighter. The problem is that it is not reset when the vm crashes. Maybe I’ll provide another way of making things brighter. Atleast until it becomes more stable.
[quote]Webstart doesn’t seem to start automatically when it’s not a jnlp file but a php file like yours.

My ISP has not set the jnlp mime type. So it’s either a php, or no webstart 
EgonOlsen: The game can not open/load a file in one of the jars. It might be a webstart issue, or I’m trying to load it in a way that is not working on your system. You could try deleting it from the webstart cache. Have you had any problems with webstart before. Ary you running window or linux? What browser?
The other two exceptions reported by zparticle and erikd are vertex array and/or vbo related. I’ll have to read up on this. And defenitly add more error checking 
[quote]very nice speed, especially compared to the xith demo - though I don’t know if they are comparable ?
[/quote]
Well, using a scene graph to render a quake level is not the most efficent way of doing it So using xith will never come close to a purpose built engine. It’s more interesting to compare it to the original q3. Because of vbos it’s possible to make a quake viewer that is faster the the original. The special effects (fog, waving flags, animated textures etc) is slowing me down alot dough As I haven’t had the time/skill to optimize it.

Yes, that worked! It runs @ around 500-700 fps now (framecounter is hard to read at that rate). That’s on a P4HT@3.2Ghz, Radeon9700pro, WinXP. Collision detection seems to produce wrong results sometimes. I fall off the level twice.
Another update. Here is a screenshot:
http://home.halden.net/tombr/squareheads/images/squareheads_screen4.jpg
[]Added collision detection against bezier patches. It’s now possible to walk over the bridge without falling threw
[]Vertex colors is used on objects that do not have lightmap.
[*]Fixed a bug with regards to the fog.
Have not looked at the vertex array issues. And it is still possible to fall threw the map.
Time for another update and to bump this thread back to the first page. Some of the things added this time:
-
Created a global matchmaker server. It’s now theoreticaly possible to find someone to play with.
-
Remade the gui. It has got all the component types I’ll need. It’s also very easy to change and is perfect for prototyping. Still have to create a new look and feel for the final game.
-
Lots of sounds.
-
Doors
-
Ingame chat
…and of course lots of other minor changes.

Could you come up with a short description (approx 100 words) for me to put on the java games pages?
Very nice game. Reminds me a lot of Quake 3. Is there anyway to run in fullscreen? I’d also suggest adding an invert mouse option.
New version is up.
I’ve added invert mouse option, fullscreen and md3 characters.
Spent most of my time rewriting the renderer. It’s now 2-3 times as fast
I’m curious how you’re doing visibility determination; bsp tree or something else?
I’m using the Quake 3 bsp level format. It’s a leafy bsp with a possible visible set. For each leaf there is a list of wich other leafs that are visible.
I really like this projects. This proves that java is really ready for gaming.
I wanted to test your last version via webstart, but I got following error:
An error occurred while launching/running the application.
Title: Squareheads Test
Vendor: Tom-Robert Bryntesen
Category: Launch File Error
Could not find main-class sh.SquareHeads in http://home.halden.net/tombr/squareheads/sh_code.zip
[quote]Could not find main-class sh.SquareHeads in http://home.halden.net/tombr/squareheads/sh_code.zip
[/quote]
I did some refactoring and renamed SqaureHeads to Squareheads. But the jnlp file gets cached somewhere and webstart don’t see that the main-class has changed. I’ve changed it back again, and I hope it will work now.
If anyone has problem starting the game: Delete it from the webstart cache and try again. That usually does the trick
