@norman I have looked at documentation per your suggestion and I have a general understanding of using methods; however, I am still running into problems. I hope you or another person can help me without getting too annoyed with me as a newbie. Please let me know if what I am trying to do is even possible.
Again, I was trying to pull the run() method from my Map file into the simpleInitApp() method in Main.java so that I can run the map from a different file without opening a new application window. I am obviously doing ALOT of things wrong right now that I would like some assistance with. Basically, my overall question is how can I generate the map for my game from a different file?
Here is my Main.java file
[java]package mygame;
import com.jme3.app.SimpleApplication;
import com.jme3.renderer.RenderManager;
/**
-
test
-
@author normenhansen
*/
public class Main extends SimpleApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Main app = new Main();
app.start();
}
@Override
public void simpleInitApp() {
Map map = new Map();
map.run();
}
@Override
public void simpleUpdate(float tpf) {
//TODO: add update code
}
@Override
public void simpleRender(RenderManager rm) {
//TODO: add render code
}
}
[/java]
And my Map file that I was trying to pull methods from:
[java]public class Map extends SimpleApplication
implements ActionListener {
private BulletAppState bulletAppState;
private RigidBodyControl landscape;
private CharacterControl player;
private Vector3f walkDirection = new Vector3f();
private boolean left = false, right = false, up = false, down = false;
private TerrainQuad terrain;
private Material mat_terrain;
@Override
public void simpleInitApp() {
}
public void run() {
/** Set up Physics */
bulletAppState = new BulletAppState();
stateManager.attach(bulletAppState);
//bulletAppState.getPhysicsSpace().enableDebug(assetManager);
flyCam.setMoveSpeed(100);
setUpKeys();
/** 1. Create terrain material and load four textures into it. */
mat_terrain = new Material(assetManager,
"Common/MatDefs/Terrain/Terrain.j3md");
/** 1.1) Add ALPHA map (for red-blue-green coded splat textures) */
mat_terrain.setTexture("Alpha", assetManager.loadTexture(
"Textures/alphamap.png"));
/** 1.2) Add GRASS texture into the red layer (Tex1). */
Texture grass = assetManager.loadTexture(
"Textures/grass.jpg");
grass.setWrap(WrapMode.Repeat);
mat_terrain.setTexture("Tex1", grass);
mat_terrain.setFloat("Tex1Scale", 64f);
/** 1.3) Add DIRT texture into the green layer (Tex2) */
Texture dirt = assetManager.loadTexture(
"Textures/dirt.jpg");
dirt.setWrap(WrapMode.Repeat);
mat_terrain.setTexture("Tex2", dirt);
mat_terrain.setFloat("Tex2Scale", 32f);
/** 1.4) Add ROAD texture into the blue layer (Tex3) */
Texture rock = assetManager.loadTexture(
"Textures/road.jpg");
rock.setWrap(WrapMode.Repeat);
mat_terrain.setTexture("Tex3", rock);
mat_terrain.setFloat("Tex3Scale", 128f);
/** 2. Create the height map */
AbstractHeightMap heightmap = null;
Texture heightMapImage = assetManager.loadTexture(
"Textures/mountains512.png");
heightmap = new ImageBasedHeightMap(heightMapImage.getImage());
heightmap.load();
/** 3. We have prepared material and heightmap.
* Now we create the actual terrain:
* 3.1) Create a TerrainQuad and name it "my terrain".
* 3.2) A good value for terrain tiles is 64x64 -- so we supply 64+1=65.
* 3.3) We prepared a heightmap of size 512x512 -- so we supply 512+1=513.
