the one where he said it made it look like it got hit by a bus


and also, is the app you posted what you used to make it say lnd-bios?

Yep, that is what I used

[DJLotus]

very awesome.

do you have a tut on how to use it yet? cuz im not sure where to start when inputting the indeces/vertices from the xboxtext file. and im going to assume it was pretty hard to make it say lnd-bios?

i can see the flubber being mathematical junk but not the text like complex..

the flubber looks 2 b a bunch of particles placed in well different places... but the text looks to be injected like a 3d model.... can anyone confirm what they used??

I belive complex complied their video from source code so replaced the flubber with whatever they wanted. Probably a flat 3d model.

If its not source, its a hell of a hack.  I've been trying to do this in ASM, its not happening.  Calling meshes and making dynamic flubbers seem to be two very different things.

could a flat 3d model be considered a sprite?

as soon as i first saw it, iwas automatically thinking "sprite" but now i wonder...
 there is a way to kinda just cut out the flubber right? Like not have it there? in assuming this, what if they just did some camera manipulation and recorded a few movies. then somebody with any decent movie modifying/editing can easily just pop it in there and do the expanding/contracting thing. could be a reason that they scrapped the whole thing, couldn't come through on it. but then again, i may be totally off base. if i remeber they just got fed up with people bugging them and they just quit.

there's my 2 cents

finding the source of the object is a big step but of course sceners already proved that.... now its a matter of injection..... can the flubber be extracted as a file?? try to import it to maya....then play

As has been stated, the flubber is a mathematical model.  Its not a mesh.  Its generated on the fly at boot time.  The only thing I can think of is removing it all together and splicing in a call to init another mesh in its place.

sounds good, i would like to see some with custom videos..... that would be cool..... ya.....

This would probably be impossibly difficult but if you could break the code that decodes the mathematical model then couldn't you write a program to generate the right numbers and make it show what you want it to?  I'm not a programmer or anything (yet) so you can go ahead and flame me if you want.  It's just an idea, though I doubt it is possible.  btw keep up the good work zinkoxyde, you are doing an awesome job!

Anyone know if there is a C++ library for reading/parsing and writing/saving C++ or header files?  This would be the bomb.

Im not sure what you mean about the c++ library. What do you want to use it for/run it in? Aweelz

Kinda like a XML parser... It would be nice if I could read a file and get all the values stored in it.  Hard to explain.


Like if I had a file "foo.h":

char bar = 'a';



I want a parser that returns foo or something like that and I can say foo[bar] and get the value 'a'.

Yeah makes no sense.
