2. Creating Models 2.1 Geometry IMPORTANT NOTE: When you want an object to have physics simulated it is very important that it is placed with its mass center as the center of the scene (not the map, the scene in the maya, 3ds, etc file). When you have several objects, when creating joint’s for example, it is important that the pivot of each object is at their mass center (Note that simply changing the pivot point may not be the best option since that changes the transformation, the best thing…

3. Creating maps Maps in the HPL-Engine are created using rooms and portals to limit the amount of objects being rendered and the system works something like this: 1. First it is check what rooms the camera (player) is in. This is checked by using the bounding boxes of the rooms. A bounding box is generated by the engine by the making an axis aligned box that exactly covers all the vertices of the main room geometry. Axis aligned means that the height is parallel to the y-axis, width to the x-…

4. Creating Materials 4.1 Types Instead of creating materials for your self, like one usually does in 3d modeling programs, a couple of predefined materials are used. What needs to be filled out are the different maps used. Settings for General Use Alpha: TODO

6 Entity files 6.1 Intro Entity files are XML files and before editing them it is suggested to read some quick tutorial on XML files. Only very basic XML understanding is needed to edit these files. The files are divided into different sections, some sections are in all entity files and some are only present in certain entity types.

8 Naming and structure 8.1 General naming The following is a couple of tips and rules to follow when naming things. * Name all files in a describing way. Instead of having door01, door02, etc name these objects door_wood01, door_old_wood01, etc what ever that fits.

Documentation Here are the documents provided by Frictional Games. Getting started This short Getting started document gives you a step by step guide to installing and setting up everything the first time. Content Creation Document The HPL-Engine© Content Creation contains all the information one needs to create content for the HPL Engine. However, it's a small book so to make the best of it look things up when you need it and do not attempt to read if from start to end in one go.
