Welcome to Urho3D new website!

Old

New

Josh Engebretson of ThunderBeast Games posted on the Urho3D group of their inhouse game engine, which combines Urho3D and Cocos2d-x and imports Unity3D content.

Here’s an image and a video of the work in progress.

Urho3D user CarloMaker generously set up a phpbb-based forum at urho3d.prophpbb.com. This is the recommended place for Urho3D related discussions from this point on. The old Google group is still available as well but is being phased out.

As Google Code no longer allows new upload of binary packages and GitHub pages or repositories are not convenient for them, all our future release of binary packages and snapshot build artifacts from Travis CI will be uploaded to sourceforge.net/projects/urho3d. The packages for Urho3D releases will be in their respective release folder. While those snapshot packages will always be available in ‘Snapshots’ folder to indicate that they are auto generated by CI build without human QA, so users who download them should manage their expectation on the quality or stability of the binaries in the package.

We have recently revamped our website while preserving its original minimal theme as much as possible. Although the appearance does not change much, under the hood we have made a number of changes to make the website design becomes more responsive and to make the documentation viewing easier than before, from large screen monitor down to small mobile devices. What makes this possible is the adoption of Bootstrap front-end framework.

We have also added two new features to the website:

1. Document-switcher which allows user to see the evolution of the documentation pages from different releases and the current HEAD revision.
2. Disqus commenting service which allows user to comment on the news post entries. Tell us what do you think by leaving us a comment.

Reposted from Urho3D forum post. The game is made by practicing01.

Congrats on getting to Steam!

silverkorn has updated the API in the ZeroBranePackage repository to autocomplete Urho3D 1.4 Lua API bindings. ZeroBrane Studio is a lightweight Lua IDE. ZeroBrane Package is a collection of packages for ZeroBrane Studio.

We have now a dark theme for the website to ease reading our documentation pages at night! The theme can be selected by using the theme switcher. The theme switcher uses experimental filter feature available in the Webkit-based and Firefox browsers. It also requires JavaScript enabled for it to work.

The functionality has been tested thoroughly on the above mentioned browsers. The functionality may or may not work on other browsers, sorry. But let us know about it.

JTippetts has updated his terrain editor project to use the latest version (release 1.4) of Urho3D library. The project is a simple terrain editor built using Urho3D library and its exposed Lua API. It now has shaders that works for D3D9, D3D11 and GLSL. The newest addition in the project are 8-detail tri-planar shaders for both HLSL and GLSL. The tri-planar shader uses the detail blending between layers. It requires more powerful GPU but gives better result than normal-mapping shader. See the difference for yourself.

Tri-planar

A few days ago one of the contributor has submitted a PR to switch on the generation of the class index page for our doxygen-generated documentation. The new index page can now be accessed under the ‘Classes’ documentation navigation button in our main website. We have improved the usability of this class index page. It is also vieweable using a wide variety of browser viewport sizes like all our pages do. Happy coding!

It has come to our attention that all our documentation pages have not been generated correctly recently. All the pages currently do not have the “doc-switcher” which supposedly allows user to switch the version of the page to the corresponding Urho3D release that you are using. The pages also have missing CSS and/or JS files for the “doc-navigation” to function properly. For the former issue, you can workaround to switch the version manually by altering the URL to the version you want to use. e.g. https://urho3d.github.io/documentation/HEAD/index.html for HEAD version or https://urho3d.github.io/documentation/1.5/index.html for 1.5 version. You only need to do this once as all the other links found in a documentation page will follow to your chosen version (they are statically generated for one specific version). Unfortunately there is no good workaround for the latter issue. You may find it difficult in navigating some of the documentation pages as the result.

The root cause of the problem has been identified. We have hit a bug in the GitHub Pages which is still not running the latest good version of the Jekyll. The issues are not reproducible locally with the latest version. Therefore, we have decided not to take any action and to wait it out for GitHub Pages to upgrade their Jekyll version. We are sorry for any inconvenience has caused.

UPDATE: It appears that part of the cause was self-inflicted. We had not adapted all our Liquid tags correctly after migrating to Jekyll 3.0. Correcting that seems to make GitHub Pages happy as well.

In order to get a more favourable SEO factor on our documentation pages, we have changed our documentation page generation logic slightly to generate a unique title per page. Instead of using a single title “Documentation” for all the pages like in the past, we now use the value of the Doxygen’s page tile in the HTML title tag. We have also take this opportunity to enable the jekyll-seo-tag gem for our website. So now all our pages, including documentation pages, have auto-generated SEO tags. Hope we have done everything correctly.
