Actually, I told myself to post everything or at least most of the things I do here.
I neglected and forgot this/discontinued that quite quickly. Too quick.

Rick from the le forum kindly reminded me. Thanks!

Falloff effect in GLSL/Leadwerks Engine

2009-08-15T18:47:00.007+02:00

Today, I wrote a falloff shader for LE. It uses either the dot product of or the distance between the surface normal and the normal pointing to the camera to calculate the color.

See here for more info.

Website update

2009-04-24T20:37:00.002+02:00

I added a "social networking" category with a (new) forum.

Got back my pc (again)

2009-03-24T18:19:00.000+01:00

I hope this time it wont break again after a week...

Got back my pc, Lego mmorpg masterserver ip

2009-03-05T20:12:00.000+01:00

Got my pc back today.
I now have a 260 gtx instead of a 8800 gtx.

The master server has changed ip's
please use the new ip:
125.255.42.93

put this ip into the masterserverAt file.

Lego MMORPG masterserver ip

2009-03-04T21:06:00.004+01:00

The guy running the masterserver (many thanks to him) recently changed ip address. The masterserver is not down, just not being found.
Unfortunately, I've no access to the mail where he wrote me the new ip, so I can't give the new one to you now.

This will be solved with the new version for certain.

Killed PC

2009-03-03T18:29:00.001+01:00

I've no pc since 3 days. Can't do / program much.
Once I get it back, I'll release an update for Lego MMO which fixes some things.

Site forms now working

2009-02-12T18:41:00.000+01:00

The old site will now forward to the new site as it's no longer needed.

My first (pixel-)shader ever

2009-02-04T20:09:00.003+01:00

Based on a pixel lightning shader by evolved.
Projects 8 different textures onto an object.
The blending texture map(s) is(/are) seperately scalable. (here scaled by two)
There are two blending textures used, each with rgba.

Website now working on resolutions of 1024 and up

2009-02-04T13:15:00.000+01:00

Before, there were some problems with this.
Solved now.

I just noticed that I make lot's of really small posts here.
I should learn to avoid this. :D

My first youtube playlist

2009-02-04T00:53:00.003+01:00

Just made a playlist which contains videos telling the whole "story" of Lego MMORPG development so far:

New site complete

2009-02-02T23:27:00.002+01:00

http://www.hurricane-eye.webs.com/
Because I just recently created that freewebs account, forms don't work yet.

I'll leave the old page for some more time:
http://www.freewebs.com/hurricane-eyeentertainment/

New site close to completion

2009-02-02T19:04:00.001+01:00

Had to "restart" because I didn't want to use frames (lots of disadvantages).
But now I think it's nearly ready.

Lots of progress on my new website

2009-02-01T20:05:00.001+01:00

Working on new, better website
