Hello!

The complete game is now playable in 3D!
That means that you can play in zone 2, equip any items or cast any spell while you are enjoying the new graphic mode!

And here are the patchnotes:

2012-10-10: v 0.9.104
- The complete game is now playable in 3D!
- NPC interface improved
- misc game enhancements/bugs fixed

Have fun with the new update!
Marlon

Wow, thumbs up!
This looks great!
I am looking forward...

Today is the day!
Zone 1 of Forgotten Elements 3D is finally online!
Feel free to try it out: www.forgottenelements.com
I would be happy if you would post suggestions, comments and bugs here.

Just add a child to the desired object with object3d.addChild(child), move it higher with child.translate(0,-20,0).
Don't forget to set Billboarding ability with child.setBillboarding(true).
http://www.jpct.net/doc/com/threed/jpct/Object3D.html#setBillboarding%28boolean%29

Keep in mind that the resolution of the texture should be a power of 2.
E.g:
64X64, 128x128,256x256 or 512x512

Really impressive! Great work! How many people were involved in this project?

Only me (and one person who wrote the story). Thanks for your words!

Forgotten Elements 3D Test Version was just released!
Feel free to check it out.
Tell me if the sound is running on your computer and the program exits without any problems.

I just used this Testing environment for my Roleplaying Game Forgotten Elements.
Check it out if you are interested:

I just finished a first 3D Test version of my 2D game "Forgotten Elements", that I made with the help of the great engine JPCT and the awesome support of founder and developer EgonOlsen. At this point I want to say many thanks again, without your help I would not have achieved this goal, Egon!

Within the next months I am going to finish the work of a complete release of Forgotten Elements.
Until then I would appreciate any feedback and suggestions. Just try this version out for yourself and see you in game!

Hello, its me again.
I decided to use SoundSystemJPCT in the testing phase of my project.
However, there are some problems left:
1. As I mentioned before, on my Windows 7 Notebook the whole program crashes, when using the SoundSystem.
It crashes when I call SoundSystem.cleanUp(), when trying to close the program.
While running the program, there is no problem.
There is no error log, only a "JAVA(TM) Platform SE binary" window, after returning to windows.
It says:

Problemereignisname: BEX
  Anwendungsname: javaw.exe
  Anwendungsversion: 7.0.10.8
  Anwendungszeitstempel: 4e897db7
  Fehlermodulname: OpenAL32.dll_unloaded
  Fehlermodulversion: 0.0.0.0
  Fehlermodulzeitstempel: 4e894548
  Ausnahmeoffset: 0695d03f
  Ausnahmecode: c0000005
  Ausnahmedaten: 00000008
  Betriebsystemversion: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3
  Gebietsschema-ID: 1031
  Zusatzinformation 1: 0a9e
  Zusatzinformation 2: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789
  Zusatzinformation 3: 0a9e
  Zusatzinformation 4: 0a9e372d3b4ad19135b953a78882e789

On my other pc it runs without problems.

2. I want to play an ogg file as backgroundmusic. How can I load the ogg file (absolute path) from the disk and play it?
3. Is there a way to set a mastervolume for all sounds (played with quickplay()) and a mastervolume for the background music in a separate way?

Thanks for your help!
Marlon

I thought i might post a little bit about the origins of this idea, my old Amiga based rpg from 20 years ago (in german...):

...

All this was coded in one large source code file...today, i already have 90 classes (engine not included) without any game play...somewhere, something went wrong along the way...

Wow, this and the new images look really great!!! 
And yeah I know exactly what you are saying. 15 Years ago I also coded chaotic "Spaghetticode" while doing my first games;)

On my other computer SoundSystemJPCT seems to run fine (which is having other problems though).
There seem to be big differences between a Win 7 System and a Win XP System. :/

Quote from: Marlon on February 09, 2012, 01:23:24 PMYes, your name is written and it should clean up successfully.
By the way... is it possible to deactivate any console output?

You can deactivate the console output by creating a minimal extension of the Logger class with all the printing methods overridden (take a look at the sourcecode to see which methods).  If cleanup is completed successfully, I'm not sure what would be causing that crash.  You aren't trying to play any other sounds (like in the menus or on exit)?

I play sounds from the menu, but then I call quickPlay() without an Object3D.
I play an mp3 as stream as well, but I don't think that this causes the problem.
Is it possible to play mp3s as background music via your SoundSystem as well?

I haven't seen that error before.  Do you know if cleanup is able to successfully finish before that error appears? (it should print a short blurb into the console stating I am the author once cleanup is complete)

Yes, your name is written and it should clean up successfully.

With the integrated OpenAl32.dll it works!
Unfortunately sometimes the Nullpointer Exception I mentioned before still occurs.
But I catch it and its ok.
Thanks again!
Marlon

Edit:
Everytime I exit my program (running at eclipse) the program crashes and I get the following error code:

Any ideas?
