ENIGMA Development Environment

A generous 7! 

Because I have seen, and see far more creepier stuff in real life that would make this one seem like a pet cat ! 

Still does not work.
I loaded the Basic3D.lib, and saved it to LGL,
removing the LIB.

Same thing.  As with the LIB it compiles fine, I can even see the descriptive text displayed
but no 3D rendered, the room is empty.

BTW while browsing I noticed an Ultimate3D engine, does that work in ENIGMA?
I recall reading that movement did not work, but the post dated 2013, and the link to the ENIGMA extension is no longer available to download, any news on whether this works
now with current ENIGMA version.

Thanks.

Not my code   It is a 3D engine / LIB, the lib display fine, I see all the D&D actions, and it compiles with no errors.  No 3D rendering is done.  The thing works fine in GM.

You mentioned LIB to LGL, how? is there a link to a program to download ? How does that work out?

Right now I think something should be done about the view_port not working as it should, clearly there should be an option to use multi monitor or single, as most people use single and are unable to use view port when it covers an area bigger than the screen res of the user, without imposing / force changing resolution, which is not convenient.

LOL.  There are some gifted game devs but the coding is horrible.  I'm not exactly advanced either with GML, in fact I know the logic / math (to some extent) as I done programming before, but not to a level where you would do optimized GML, if I were to make a game and use GML I'm sure people would probably compact my code 50% lol.

Personally it is a not a coding competition, I'd probably lose badly too   I personally judge a game for the game and not what it was made with and how it was coded.

Must admit TKG, I too was a bit confused with his code, was it intentionally coded that way, maybe  

What is with all those  underscores before variable names, am I missing something ?

BTW it sure is quiet on those forums lately
What have they done with them ? (the aliens )

Nope those are still a part of studio.  How else was the "They Need to be Fed"  sequel created and published by 2Dcube in GMS? I even tested it so I really don't know why enigma is having this issue.

*sigh* that's odd I could have sworn they stopped supporting angle functions after 8.1, or perhaps I might be confusing with room angle or view angle, oh well....

/end_twilight zone Theme

Honestly I don't have a fucking clue why it doesn't work properly despite compiling without errors.
I thought it had to do with variables or some incompatible shit but I looked and could not see anything unless there is something
in the script (all the math) that is behaving weirdly
I guess you will have to wait until Robert takes a look at it

It looks messed up, did you notice the player is not touching the solids, seems to be a major issue with contact position, and sometimes player going through solid objects, floating in the air and staying stuck.
LOL maybe it fits 360 degree gravity indeed !    (bad joke!)

Anyways, there is still probably quite a few things that won't work in ENIGMA, what I am most disappointed and puzzled is the 3D stuff does not work at all.

That's strange, have you tried converting the libs to lgl? That's LGM's library format and LGM has a library editor of its own. Check it out on the wiki

Why would I do that when the LIBs were detected and displayed correctly,
just that when running demo I did not see
anything rendered except the text,
but the 3D graphics, none, it was blank.
I will compile and upload an attachment.

It's simple, the future of ENIGMA all comes down to its development and the team managing it.  It CAN gain traction if it provides a reason.  Right now, it seems people are discussing it on some other forums and claiming it has too many issues and some label it as "garbage" or other words, as stated by trolls, here and on the GMC by some game maker devs themselves.....

Perhaps when it is further improved and many issues fixed and a campaign to convince people that ENIGMA can be used to make complete games, perhaps it can gain traction.  Or is it that people are attracted by mobile dev tools and no more windows stuff   I know ENIGMA has some issues but would certainly not stop using it, I even tried talking to others about it, and in all cases was met with so much negativity.

So the future of ENIGMA depends on its creators, you can shape the future, but of course, the main issue is finding time.
Personally, I think GM dev has slowed down to a damn crawl! I mean they are staffed and all and updates / fixes / replies come out at a snail's pace.....they are messed up and all over the place and have their priorities set wrong......Looking at ENIGMA, despite time constraints it manages to get faster fixes and updates. Go figure.

I hope ENIGMA gains traction, but only its contributors can know that.  In my opinion, assume it will, it's the best option.
