1. Introduction
1.1 Some forewords
Welcome dear content creator to the HPL-Engine.
In some parts of the doc naming conventions are described. This are described something like this:
_thing_[name]_[stuff]
This means that “[name]” and “[stuff]” are variables and are to be replaced with other text. The above example could be translated to:
_thing_thomas_lighter
Or something else depending on what the variables should describe.
1.2 Setup
Below are just some general rules and settings.
Units:
The game will use SI-units for measurements. This means that 1 length unit equals 1 meter, 1 time unit equals 1 second, 1 mass unit equals 1 kg and so on.
National Settings
All the tools for the engine uses a dot “.” as a decimal separator. If you are Swedish or something this might not be how your computer is set up. Open the control panel->national settings and check so that this is correct! Also don’t forget to write decimals with dot and not comma.
