General Discussion / Re: HeroEngine Launcher Doesn't Install on Win 10

« on: Jan 14, 17, 02:10:30 AM »

You might want to try the dev link for dx9 runtimes... the web installer doesn't include everything.  (It states that it's missing certain key components in the description.)  This is what enables dx9 games that need d3d9.dll, etc. - check out this link.

I think you can also look through your optional windows updates for the files as well... not quite sure why windows makes this a pain in the arse.

Hi McIndus, thanks for trying to help !
Unfortunately I get an error trying to install this..

Any updates for us

Hey Prometheus,
unfortunately not really. Me and my team moved to Vancouver 3 years ago and are currently working in the local industry.
We are very excited about Ominous and we will surely resume working on it as soon as we can.
It is important for me to maintain my account and access considering we plan on creating that initial quest that unfolds the style, story and gameplay to the world

I like the sound of this game. Do you guys have a website or facebook?

Not a website yet, just a slightly outdated page on my outdated website which Farina put a link to lol, btw thanks, Farina.

If you guys want, you should join up with the skype group chat for live developer support.

skype:?chat&blob=hFN1FQl2I8J_GBOvAs40nQt-jDOO6qpi8WtKbcbk4YNFb48ONKfzN-7OvtupqE4qjBQHLRhpgEokrRGBdJQ

Or PM me on here and i can add you on skype.

Sure, I'd love to join the group, however, I'm primarily a CG artist and can only contribute perhaps with some knowledge in that. We're currently not in active development so I'm afraid I'd be a bit useless at this stage.

Had you previously been able to install and run HE on your machine?

Hey Prometheus ! I had it working on Windows 7 before, yes.

I think they are looking at this from what i see in the skype group chat hehe and good to see you back gaarzen. You guys resuming work on Ominous?

It's currently on a halt considering we moved to Vancouver but we can't wait to get back to it

Hello gaarzen,
    Aye, we are looking into this. Sorry for the slow response, Hopefully we can find something for you real soon.

Sarrene'

Thanks, Sarrene !!

it sounds like you're missing something...

Lets break it down a bit, do you already have the heroengine blade and launcher installed ?
You said you had formatted....  and so I'm a bit confused heh, have you downloaded and installed a fresh copy of the launcher and the blade?

if you did format then you'll need to reinstall the autolauncher, the blade etc, the autolauncher first.
Before you install the autolauncher you should install and update java, .net4.0, directx runtimes and distribs.

Hi, ToY ! This error occurs during the initialization of the Hero Engine Launcher so nothing is actually installed yet I'm afraid.

Hello Gaarzen,

Would you please run a DXDiag (http://hewiki.heroengine.com/wiki/Dxdiag) and send the output to support@heroengine.com?  I've attempted to reproduce your issue as described and have (as yet) not been able to duplicate it, which makes things tricky.

As a separate step, please try to run the launcher installation file as administrator (right-click the .exe and select Run as Administrator).

You might try some of the troubleshooting recommendations for the Microsoft installer from Microsoft's site (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2438651).  Please note, while the documentation is for older versions of Windows it appears to still be appropriate for windows 10.



Christopher

Hi Christopher !
I have sent an E-Mail to support with my dxdiag output file as you suggested.

I have tried running the file as an admin but unfortunately the problem is the same.

I tried different solutions from the Microsoft support page but couldn't find a solution to my problem.




Thanks for all the help !

General Discussion / HeroEngine Launcher Doesn't Install on Win 10

« on: Nov 26, 16, 05:53:51 PM »

Hey guys,
I recently had to format and reinstall Windows 10 and for some reason I am unable to run the HeroEngine Launcher properly.
What I get is the attached image and I can't seem to run the Blade afterwards.
I tried installing DirectX 9.0c runtime and that didn't seem to help (DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer).

Anyone knows how to fix this?

Thanks !

Probably because it's an irregular .heal file. It's weird that it never happened before but definitely a false warning

We have the same issue now but only in a single image. I'm assuming it's either a power of 2 issue or the alpha channel.

I like the cut of your jib, sir.  Those are excellent!  I'd love to play with the rigging that spider bot, it has a lot of potential for some really fun animation

Thanks a lot, Bennett ! I really appreciate it.
The spider isn't rigged yet but the animators are aching to work on it !

Art & Art Pipeline / Re: Autodesk Maya 2013 - black background after applying Hero Shader

« on: Dec 30, 13, 09:23:08 PM »

Hello I am having a problems with the Hero Shader in Maya. Everything is working fine so I guess it is just a visual issue.

When I apply the Hero Shader on my model, the texture scales up in a weird way when rotating my camera around the object and it seems like there is some weird light glitch going on as well as suddenly having a black background.

The model is perfectly fine once it is placed ingame or in the repository browser, the problem only occurs in Maya.

Apply the Hero Shader only when you're ready to export or use Viewport 2.0.
It does mess up the default display.

Art & Art Pipeline / Confirming Possible Transparency Collision Bug

« on: Dec 25, 13, 08:22:43 PM »

Hey guys,
For some reason when I export a semi transparent object its collision doesn't work.
I have a window tile which is part solid and part transparent, both materials have collision on and the transparent part material has gradient and an alpha channel with a grey area for the glass to define how transparent it is.
During gameplay the character collides with the solid part but is able to jump through the glass area.
I am using Maya 2013,

I noticed the same problem occurred already with this thread:
