An new free update of CopperCube is ready for download. This one adds a more intelligent Game AI, and more settings for tuning its behavior, an action for the follow-path behavior, improved font rendering on a few targets, and several bugs fixes, most on the Android target.
You can get the update here: http://www.ambiera.com/coppercub...

Screenshot of the new AI in action: (ok, doesn't make much sense when not animated)
🔎︎


Details:

- The game AI has been enhanced:

- It is now possible to specify the amount of milliseconds the AI should take
to wait between random patrol points or path points. Use the new property
'PatrolWaitTimeMs' for this.

- There is now a new mode 'Follow path' for the AI to specify a walking path the
AI should try to follow, instead of only randomly patrolling.

- The AI is now a bit more intelligent: It notices more quickly now if an object
blocks its way and stops moving then.


- The 'follow path' behavior now has the option to execute an action once the path
following has finished (or if looped, once per loop).

- Fonts in WebGL appeared blurry on some systems. This is no longer the case.

- The new WebGL loading flag (starting scene only when all textures loaded) now also waits with
music and 2D overlays until the textures are loaded.

- Fixed a bug causing the 'reload scene' action not to work on the Android targets under special circumstances

- Fixed a bug causing the 'Quit' action not to work on some Android devices

- Fixed a bug causing complex operations with variables on Android not to work sometimes

- Fixed a bug causing texture changes not to work sometimes on animated meshes in WebGL

- Fixed a problem on the android target where values without decimals were printed to overlay 2d texts with
decimals.

- Fixed a problem causing clipped text on some android systems.

Fabulous niko!

I had noticed some of those bugs on android but thought it was something I had done wrong and was trying to fix it myself.
Now it all works on my game so I'm very excited thanks!!

Great update thank you!! - the AI stuff looks very cool.

And the WebGL loading improvements are excellent. My Zone WebGL version now fully loads in before sounds etc - I'm also using a bit of javascript to make the thing full screen sized -

Hi s1mon

Good question! I don't see this on my set up... I'll do some more testing. Are you using Chrome?

Thanks

Andy

Yes, I have chrome.
It would be nice to stretch it all the way from edge to edge :)

Wow, fantastic work. Good prioritization - these enhancements help alot!

UPDATE: 4.03, in WebGL Restart scene still has issues in my project. I get duplicate objects / like the scene is not unloaded. However a work around in my situtuation is fixed with this tiny bit of js: "document.location.reload(true)" on click of the reset button

@dreamcutter: Hm, I've tried to reproduce it but it works perfectly for me. Are you doing anything special with the scene?

Sounds great Niko.

Question: Are vehicle simulations possible? Roads? City generation?

If not, what would it take to do so? I have a new project I may be undertaking and I would LOVE to use Coppercube with this because it involves online game simulation - but only for driving.

Let me know what it would take to make this happen (as in, what would it cost me to have you create these technologies within Coppercube).
