Tutorial - Extended Construction System

Out of curiosity, how is performance like at this level of detail? You are starting to get a lot of simultaneously rendered objects, but I know lua handles it better than java plus the world is rendered only once.

nice video

Nice video, it shows the possibilities for using this system. But some things would be perfect in combination with block building i think and more faster. Have you changed the texture for this planks?

Yep performance could be interesting but not with these few items, for testing the limitation we would need thousands of items.
As i know only LuaJ is used as scipting language, what means that the game it self is not build out of it. And LuaJ is implemented to run in a java environment.
Beside that the core of the game is the jMonkeyEngine it seems, and this one runs with Java. So at the end you always have javabytecode

Very nice, didn't even knew that you could re size stuff

Great tip!
thanks

Great video - lots of helpful information!

Why do you have different doors to me?

I now see how to craft different style doors - ignore me

No, that is one of the default textures available in game. All the EC objects have most of the wood textures available to them through the arrows in the saw mill table. This is also how you change the glass texture.

OMG, OMG i am such a noob i never tried this!!!! Thank you, i didn't know about that!

Lel, others spend time lookng how to get different textures, Nova just goes ahead and makes them all himself xD

Great work Quezax, thanks a lot!!

Thanks so much for this share. I started out with wood planks and didn't know you could lay them in a row. I thought it was snap-to-grid only, and then every once in a while one would be out of whack so I would break it down and replace it in an attempt to lay them perfectly. LOL

Thanks for the Extended Construction tutorial, it was helpful. Perhaps you might consider doing another one where you show us how to use Extended Construction to build a roof.

Thanks for this Tut

Yes thank you for this, I was wondering how to change my point of view when placing item? You can zoom in which is good for hunting but... A lot of times when I am placing things with a grid the item moves when I do. I cannot get the whole picture of where to place something. Likes ladders they go out of my POV. Any thoughts?

I guess press the right ctrl button?

No what does that normal do? Mine does nothing.

It should freeze all construction objects and let you walk around it without it moving
