ENIGMA Development Environment

One thing that I think would make ENIGMA easier to impliment as a compiler for virtually any IDE...
There should be a way to download binary console applications for Windows, Mac, and Linux that
convert EGM, GM81, GMK and GMX to whichever OS the end user is currently running. As for EGM
Support, sense all that format is, is basically a zip, maybe a parameter in the command line could
add support for password protected EGMs/ZIPs.

This is useful for getting other people to port or
test compilation on their platform without having to give them access to your source code that
they could steal. This is also a good idea for creating commercial game templates without giving
out the source, due to the password protection. CMD Example:

cmd.exe [input egm] [output exe] [password string <optional>]

Also note, this is something I'm say ENIGMA should really include, not written in GML,
but C++ Like the rest of the engine.

Ah dang I really hope ENIGMA games will run on Steam OS, especially the console (though that is the least likely). Since it is derived from Linux it just might be able to run ENIGMA games (well, at least on the computer desktop version). But they also mentioned in the article that even though it's Linux based, it is its own unique OS, so from the sound of it, it may or may not run ENIGMA games. *fingers crossed*

If your model has no more than one texture, and it can be loaded into blender, there should be no reason why it shouldn't work in ENIGMA. If your model has n external material file, AFAIK it won't be recognized in ENIGMA, so any information that might be in that material (*.mtl file) will have to be replaced with EDL and resources.

For example, if your model uses a texture, create a sprite or background with that image stored in it.
//create event
m=d3d_model_create()
d3d_model_load(m,working_directory+"\model.obj")
t=sprite_get_texture(spr_texture,-1) //t=background_get_texture(back_texture)

//draw event:
d3d_model_draw(m,x,y,z,t)
If you are already doing something like this, please pastebin the error you're getting and file a bug on the tracker.

I bought it back when it supported PSM and costed $120.

I never really used it as much as GMS because even though with the miniB3D
module it kicks studio's butt, it's still a lot harder to program in. Also, they have
modules and targets that are completely open source, (see User Targets/Modules
forum). You might be able to use those sources as a building block for adding new
targets to ENIGMA such as their OUYA target. It would require a lot of editing but
it still could help IMHO.

Omg I am so using this!
Thanks for sharing this is a nice find! :-)

In regards to whether I'm to use pre-rendered or
realtime 3D graphics - I've made my final decision.

Pre-Rendered it is!



As you can see a lot of changes and improvements
are being made.Though I need an outside opinion -
Should I keep the emboss / engrave effect on the
stone brick walls? Thanks!

Edit - another screenshot:



Edit 2 - Alright, I see no use in keeping the game's
title hidden, it will have to be announced sooner or
later so here's the Logo:

...this chick. And I might use her in a game but haven't made up my mind just yet.

@Robert. It's a very old OS not many people use it but it's been around longer than Linux has. It used to be a commercial OS but overtime oracle decided to make it freeware like Linux but it isn't open source. What stirs up my curiosity about it is it can run both Linux and Solaris native apps, which provides more possibilities than Linux even then for whatever reason Linux is still more popular. It's interesting.

@ssss - alright I'll send him a pm.
