New Gideros Docs/Wiki...

@MoKaLux , thanks, that's great, i will try to add these whenever i get the time.

Where would be a good place to add new luau vector?
Under Gideros specific methods in the math section https://wiki.gideros.rocks/index.php/Math?

Please some advice

MoKaLux

I don't know the value for cull mode
https://wiki.gideros.rocks/index.php/Mesh:setCullMode
When looking in gideros GH I could see:
enum CullMode {
CULL_NONE,
CULL_FRONT,
CULL_BACK,
};
There is this CullMode thing so I thought I could write:

mesh = Mesh.new() mesh:setCullMode(CullMode.CULL_FRONT) -- doesn't work mesh:setCullMode(0) -- does work

So is it fair to say that 0 = CULL_NONE, 1 = CULL_FRONT, 2 = CULL_BACK?

Thank you
PS: does it work for 2d and 3d?

EDIT: see answer below from hgy29, wiki updated https://wiki.gideros.rocks/index.php/Mesh:setCullMode

Yes, enums in C start 0 so you are correct. I'll add constants in Mesh class to avoid confusions.They are defined in Sprite class (Sprite.CULL_NONE, etc). And yes it does work in 2D, but is there are point in using culling in 2D ?

MoKaLux

Is lua select function supposed to be in the wiki?
If so here https://wiki.gideros.rocks/index.php/(global) ?
Thank you

EDIT: added https://wiki.gideros.rocks/index.php/Select

updated strings wiki with missing luau functions (thus missing in Gideros Studio)
https://wiki.gideros.rocks/index.php/String

EDIT: I copied the docs from roblox which are copyrighted it is clearly forbiden in gideros wiki code of conduct
EDIT2: table WIP DONE https://wiki.gideros.rocks/index.php/Table (https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/libraries/table)

EDIT3, TODO: bit32 DONE, coroutine DONE, debug NO CHANGE NEEDED, utf8 DONE. I need to test a couple of them to make sure they work in Gideros!

EDIT4: should be ok , utf8 has some functions which seem not present in current Gideros Studio (graphemes, nfcnormalize, nfdnormalize) so I don't add them

Please tell me if I am missing something else

added SoundChannel:setEffect: https://wiki.gideros.rocks/index.php/SoundChannel:setEffect but I have no clue if this is right at all

For me new balance for SoundChannel:setVolume has no effects (tested with a .wav file): https://wiki.gideros.rocks/index.php/SoundChannel:setVolume, also I don't know what the range should be? 0<>1, -1<>1, ... maybe I need a stereo file

pie

@MoKaLux I haven't investigated the new SoundChannel yet, but if I recall correctly the setVolume values were from 0 (mute) to 1 (max) - this was almost 10 yrs ago though..

The variables mentioned about the openal equalizer seems to be these:

maybe you can find something more there, or just add it as a reference

The range for volume is 0<>1 but I was asking for the new balance parameter range . I tried different values but cannot hear any difference in the balance, it always sounds "centered".

This is indeed a VERY NICE REFERENCE, I am not too much into sound but that may come in very handy, thank you mr pie

PS: also I don't know for you guys but the default volume sounds WAY TO LOUD?!
PS2: oh I may know why balance isn't working for me!? I don't have a stereo file

I post here because it's wiki related: since I just rediscovered Gideros Fiddle I thought it could be cool to embed it in the wiki.
I don't know if that requires a lot of work, but as of now I can't embed iframes nor open links in new browser tabs.
Here is the best I can do right now, I don't know if it's because I lack privileges, or for safety reasons (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgExternalLinkTarget):
https://wiki.gideros.rocks/index.php/Your_first_code

The ideal thing would be that the wiki could embed the gideros editor window button in code snippets, or only some code snippet like it happens for example here: https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_dictionaries.asp
If that could happen automagically reading the css or templates we would save a lot of manual data entry and focus on developing new mini games

You can also just display the code and embed a playable version (.GApp) on the same page, such as in https://wiki.gideros.rocks/index.php/2D_Space_Shooter_Part_5:_Firing

I didn't know that, I always wondered what was the purpose of Gapp export.. but I think that the option to fiddle directly with code is much more attractive and educational, even if you can rely only on existing assets (which might be expanded a bit though) and almost no plugins/libraries.
It basically recreates the good feeling of instant testing that I guess we all love and that no other framework that I've heard of has.
GApps could still be useful for more complex projects like that 2d shooter
