Great game you guys. I just burned through all 40 levels. Lots of Lode Runner style puzzle thinking involved. Well done.

Thanks for all the help and the patience to explain the problem with that detail, i got it working now i really appreciate it, if you need anything please let me know by mail (im a 3d artist by the way)…

Well, for one… you should have typed:
materialQ = new QuadWireColorMaterial(0x3665C4);

Second, this hack would only work on 3D objects loaded from .obj files, and will not work on procedural objects created by the engine itself.

To make this work on the plane primitive, you would have to change other things in the source code, namely the way faces are created and wound in Plane.as, mark the new faces as quads in AbstractPrimitive.as, and change the way face are re-wound when it is viewed from the back in FaceProjector.as. After AbstractPrimitive and FaceProjector is modified, you would only need to modify the rest of the primitive classes.

Yes, it IS a LOT of hassle, mainly due to the fact that the engine was not coded and optimized to render quads to begin with.

First of all, thanks for the great work in this, i downloaded the files that you posted, and tested with the 2.2 version of the site and the svn version.

Unfortunately, it give me this error with the color value in this code:

trace(‘hi1′);
materialQ = QuadWireColorMaterial(0x3665C4);

error:

hi1
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert 3564996 to away3d.materials.QuadWireColorMaterial.
at base_scene_fla::MainTimeline/initMaterials()
at base_scene_fla::MainTimeline/init()
at base_scene_fla::MainTimeline/frame1()

When i use color name give me the same error, when i send a “null” as value, the geometry (a standard primitive plane), appears with triangles instead of quads.

I hope this is no a big error, and sorry in advance if i didn’t implement the code right.

Erick

Thanks for your effort.

It should work for version 2.1, but I think I made a mistake by modifying a trunk SVN version between 2.1 and 2.2 instead of the base version 2.1.

So to be honest, I’m not sure if it will work with version 2.1.

I’ve posted the modified files for 2.2 on top of the post.

For sure and thanks for the help!!, i will keep playing with a previous version, by the way with which version did you work this code?

Erick

and again thanks a lot!

Ah yes… I suspect that it wouldn’t…
Rob completely re-wrote The 3D engine in version 2.2 to increase its performance, and I guess it broke my hack.
I need to re-learn the new code to re-implement the hack for version 2.2, can you wait for a little while?
