Hi! thought of making a simple game (or testing thing) with HPL1 for learning coding and 3D modelling. The first thing in my mind is this: what programs i need? Could someone list the programs i need to start. Programs for: opening and compiling the HPL1 and game code and 3D modelling program for models and maps.
Depends on the platform you are running on.. For Mac OSX you'd need
- XCode
- Blender (or other 3d modelling program that supports collada)
- Gimp (or other graphics software for building textures
For Linux
- Cmake and Gcc
- blender (or other 3d modeller..)
- Gimp (or other graphics software...)
For Windows
- Visual studio (note penumbra/hpl1 were build with VC++ 2003)
- Blender (or other 3d modeller....)
- Gimp (or other graphics software...)
Right. Will 3DS Max do for the 3D stuff? And does Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition work for the coding stuff?
