Wow, that update is awesome!
I like that "making nodes without typing in numbers" thingie :)
But I miss a limitation for my 120 FPS, that causes useless CPU time.
Is there a way to set up something like a limiter by sleeping like in MT?

Also let us turn the 3D-view, so like moving around the node

EDIT: Export/saving project does not work?!

[webdesigner97]

Trying it out later :)

It uses vsync, which should limit the fps to 65, but your graphics card or CPU or something does not support it.

I get 500 fps when I turn off vsync (dont_use_vsync = true in editor.conf)

I will be adding a sleeper as a hacky way to limit to 65, for people who can not use vsync. (0.6.1)

When you click export, it writes to export.lua

When you click save, it writes to save.nbe

When you click load, it reads from save.nbe

Dialogs to choose save/export files will be added in 0.6.1

You can force V-Sync for a specific application, or all applications, in your graphic driver's control panel.

Good work!

I don't have a control panel for my graphic card, there's only the driver.
Also, I already searched how to enable it without that control panel, no success, it only seems to exist for ATI or NVIDIA graphic cards.

Oh.

Intel graphic adapters do have a control panel. Search for it.

Nice job! Can a texture be applied to a nodebox generator generated node?

[rubenwardy]

Nice job! Can a texture be applied to a nodebox generator generated node?

When you export the project, it goes to export.lua

You can easily get the code inside there and turn it into a mod, and apply a texture the same way you would normally.

However, you can not do this in the editor.

Also, it is now the "Nodebox Editor" :P

I am having a hard time installing this. when I try "cmake ." in terminal, it says:
CMake Error: The source directory "/" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI

any suggestions?

as a note, I did forget to enter root when I ran apt-get...

You need to make sure you are in the right directory.

ie: cd NodeBoxEditor.

[Novacain]

I now get this. issue with cmake?

novacain@Roku:~/NodeBoxEditor$ cmake .

You should remove FPS from window title, it can cause X to use a lot of CPU for nothing.

[Novacain]

well, got cmake to work. now how to run :P (I feel totally nooby right now)

[rubenwardy]

The window bar only changes when the average fps changes, which is about every second, and the fps is already calculated by Irrlicht.

However, I will add a compile flag to remove it with release builds.

The executable will be in bin/ under "NodeBoxEditor".

There is a tutorial on you tube telling you what to do, but it is a bit outdated.

[rubenwardy]

Have you got it working yet?

[rubenwardy]

Cool stuff is happening in the nodetool branch.

I just added support for multiple nodes.

0.6.3 will be released later this weekend.

[Novacain]

Have you got it working yet?

not quite. I got this error message [spoiler]

For all people on linux that have the same problem as me:
After the "cmake ." step:
Open CMakeFiles/NodeBoxGenerator.dir/link.txt in an editor and add -lXxf86vm
and you're done, now "make" and it should compile

Weird. I think you should you use chrome as a web browser, not an antivirus. It is obviously bad at that.

- every time you download executive files with Google Chrome Browser it'll show that it's dangerous software
- test it out with e.g. cmd.exe
-> copy cmd.exe and paste it somewhere e.g. desktop, type in url-line: file:///C:/Users/%username%/Desktop/cmd.exe
--> then it'll try to download that file and then that message pops up
