Changes in Range Game Engine 1.5a

Dedicated version to improve and fix some 1.5 issues.

Ordering of animation events

Now it is possible to organize animation events, remember that the animation events sensor is dependent on the event index.

New shadow filters

Two new filters for shadows:

  • Factor Clipping - clips the shadow factor to produce a sharp shadow.
  • Bayer Dither - apply a bayer pattern to the shadow factor.

Those filters don't take extra samples, they only add a style.

Joystick input events

A much requested feature, it adds a new input table for the joysticks. this table also inherits multiple SCA_InputEvent and you can use .active, .activated, .released and .inactive calls.

the new key codes are:

  • events.JOYSTICKA
  • events.JOYSTICKB
  • events.JOYSTICKX
  • events.JOYSTICKY
  • events.JOYSTICKBACK
  • events.JOYSTICKGUIDE
  • events.JOYSTICKLEFTSTICK
  • events.JOYSTICKRIGHTSTICK
  • events.JOYSTICKRIGHTSHOUDER
  • events.JOYSTICKLEFTSHOUDER
  • events.JOYSTICKDPADUP
  • events.JOYSTICKDPADDOWN
  • events.JOYSTICKDPADLEFT
  • events.JOYSTICKDPADRIGHT

Download Example: JoystickInputEvents.range

Parent Recursive

Feature request, parentRecursive provides a list of relationships and the last one in the list will always be the final parent object.

It is now possible to access the world sun with KX_Scene.worldSun

    self.scene = logic.getCurrentScene() # CurrentScene(Scene)
